I just want to get this right, because that’s a pretty damning accusation you’re making. You’re saying that Neal is deliberately not trying his hardest...thus leaving the burden to other teammates on purpose? I wonder how Peters feels about this....or Tre who’s paying him 5.75 million to ‘not try his hardest’
Ovi has 44 goals...is he holding back too?
What other veteran isn’t trying his hardest in another team?

I promise you Ovi also plays harder in the playoffs too...is this really news to you? Players admit it themselves.
I promise you that Tre and Peters will be more than happy if Neal takes his game to another level in the playoffs.
We are talking about hitting, grinding, going to the net/tough areas...things that make Neal successful. Things he started to do after the ASB that were noticed by many.
If you think every NHLer goes 100% all in every regular season game you are out to lunch
