But he's not nearly as good after the regular season. Pretty human in fact.
Look how neutered he was vs Winnipeg. How many periods of OT and he couldn't break through?
I think part of what plays into it is that teams give him more respect and space in the regular season when there is less at stake, when that changes his impact is diminished. But I think there is also a mental block on his end when the games matter.
