I hope he comes back and turns back into the James Neal we were all thrilled to sign this offseason.

I hope they're just resting the poor guy up under the guise of a minor injury.
I've said this before and I'll say it again, the guy has played UNTIL JUNE two years in a row. Think about that, 31 years old and going to the cup final back-to-back while all your current (and mostly under 25!) teammates were golfing by April those past years. This is why I've never ripped on the guy for struggling, I honestly think he's just ####ing exhausted. Hope he comes back and is the clutch Real Deal we need in the playoffs.
