Same thing happened to Seguin in Boston last year. Very short leash, healthy scratch for many games in the playoffs.
But it was Seguin who single handedly kept the Bruins from getting knocked out by TB.
And then he was a healthy scratch/played very little minutes against the Canucks in the finals.
Now that he is playing a bit more, he was the leading scorer on the team.
