Sadly that's simply not good enough for a professional player who should be ready to go from game one not game 42. Excepting this sort of professionalism is the reason the club never moves forward. Its like JG, every summer everybody forgets how he will always disappear when the games are physical. All is forgiven, almost. Well last night was another physical game and he promptly did his disappearing act again as did Mony. No way we are winning the Stanley Cup with these two as part of the Core. If you are happy to be a middling team you keep them, but if you want to win it all I am sorry they have to go, especially JG if he is costing 9M+ a year.
