Where will Daniel Sprong fall in the battle between coach and creativity?

Former Penguin Alex Kovalev let some feelings out (in, to be fair, an interview translated from Russian)

Tough not to agree with Brian Metzer here-

This still makes me irrationally angry to this day. We sat above that action on press row in disbelief. They were down 1-0... 1-0... a guy acquired to play in just that moment sat and watched.

The talk of a player being punished for trying to be creative and perhaps playing a bit too risky for a coach’s liking may have applied to Kovalev and Dan Bylsma, but it also sounds a lot like Daniel Sprong and Mike Sullivan as well.
