"Not a week goes by without at least one email questioning Mathieu Darche's presence in the Canadiens' lineup.
They ask: "Why was he on the ice in overtime?"
Or "How come he gets so much ice time?"
"Why did they use him on the power play?"
Anyone who watched the Canadiens' last two games knows the answers to those questions. Darche played more than 20 minutes in each of those games and he was on the ice because he deserved to be."
