Even if you look back at his Vegas goals, there are very few perfectly placed brilliant shots. He's a garbage man, who for some reason we (myself included) believed was some sort of pure sniper.
He needs to play in the dirty areas, and last year he just didn't.

Yeah for sure. The front of the net is where he was successful in Vegas.
I wonder how much of it was a bit more motivation with a lot more luck.... because his skating doesn’t look great here either.
