Maybe...but this is nothing new for him either.
It might hyperbole but seemingly thats where he gets beat 50% of the time.
I played the position for years and long before the technical stuff that is coached now. Also long before the equipment became bigger than the person wearing it as well. It was always better to stay on your feet as long as possible though...that hasnt changed IMO. How long has changed, but not as long as you can.
DR is so often down on his knees even when the puck is back on the blue at times. Its his biggest weakness by a mile.
