He's not scoring off the rush anymore, not from the face off dots and that concerns me.

A lot of his goals have been from close in this year. It seems like he's missed the net a lot on shots from the circle and that jucy cross ice pass for the one-timer on the powerplay has been taken away by teams. He still receives a lot of attention by defenders and can't create the space for himself he used to. He seems to get knocked off the puck pretty easily now compared to when he was young and was like a bull in the corners. Anyone that's reached their late 30's/early 40's can attest that you simply aren't the man you were in your 20's physically even if you stay in shape.
