When did I say it wasn't Pouls himself holding him back? I just said it wasn't a lack of talent or skill... I did not imply in anyway that it was anyone else but himself though.

Aren't you part of the crowd that says he should have gotten more 1+2 line time or wasn't given a chance here? If not, my apologies. And yeah, I agree the kid appears to have talent bottled away and I was smitten with him at one time. In fact, I believe I thought he reminded me of and could be come a Bobby Smith type player.

Nah TaLoN hates Shepp, he would love to see shepp cut or moved, I'm one of the few that want shepp to have gotten more ice time.

Sheppard didn't play!

Let's hope it is a wake up call and the kid picks up his game. Not everyone is going to give us something for our under achievers and busts.

Fletch calls up Gainy again?

I want Shepp to earn more ice time.

Same here I'd love to see the guy succeed in MN, maybe on wing he could make a better impact.

I have said in the past that he was never given a shot back when we had Gabby and Demitra, but other than that I've complained about how Shep has gotten a free ride, even when Pouls has done ten times more on the ice than Shep ever has... which still isn't saying much!

Everyone sees Pouls in my sig and still think I'm a huge fan... I WAS a huge fan, and had expectations, but his lack of desire his his biggest enemy. The only reason my sig hasn't changed is I don't want to jinx anyone else on the roster at the moment. I still wish him the best though, as he has tons of talent, it's fun to watch players with talent succeed in the pros.
