i totally agree with the ideas that Stevens should be with the team, in uniform or otherwise. I think it would be huge for him to show up at the game, even if he wasn't in the locker room, his presence, even off the ice, might spark the rest of the guys to step it up.
As much as i don't WANT to like JR, i couldnt help but admire the way he showed up to support his team when he was injured. I think if Stevens did something similiar it would be enormous.
