Klein's big mistake at Philly was in the offensive zone. When other players on our team make similar mistakes, nothing is said. When those other players make goal costing gaffes in the defensive end, little to nothing is said.
He is a 2nd pair talent who makes mistakes from time to time. Weber and Suter are top pair talents who make mistakes from time to time (just look at Philly and Minnesota for some of their recent brain farts). His good plays far outnumber his poor ones, but those mistakes get all of the attention here.
