Mike Yeo's decision on Keith Yandle hasn't pleased some people around the NHL. For them, the Flyers interim head coach showed a lack of respect toward the veteran by scratching him.
I'll be honest here. I understand why those people reacted like that. But I don't support it. The Flyers need to play their young guys. And Yandle just wasn't good enough lately. If he wasn't on this incredible streak, he would've been out of the lineup well before.
After yesterday's loss against the Maple Leafs, Kevin Hayes was asked about this situation, and he basically said that he didn't agree with the decision.
"Can't say I agree with it. The impact Keith has on myself & the guys in that room is something that can't be measured. I know sometimes the media's all over him, but what he provides to some of these young guys on this team is something that no one else can do," said Hayes.
These comments will certainly not please Mike Yeo and the Flyers management. You want your veterans to agree with your decisions, or at least, you don't want them to question those choices in front of the cameras.
