Yeah, very weird that his career declined steeply from age 23 down, from all accounts his rather big head has shrunken with age and he actually doesn't look like an orange pylon either. people blame his hip and his lack of hockey sense but I have always wondered why did he seem to fall hard after an idiot came to town with a stupid "sloppy seconds" comment. he fell so far after that he reminded me of the goofy kid in the sandbox that got picked on and never fought back.
Very strange for a professional athlete to act like that.
