That might be a big disappointment for those who were expecting Guy Lafleur or Marcel Dionne.
But if you think a guy who produces 30 goals and a Point-Per-Game in his prime is disappointing, you might want to consider getting help for you Kool-Aid addiction.

What has really surprised me is his lack of speed. He has been pretty damn slow this year.
