he's essentially learned/evolved nothing about his game, he's just doing it with increased intensity/volume
This is bang on, and why he’s at a higher likelihood of injury this season.

The concept of load management doesn’t apply. Either they run up the score or get filled in because of their garbage defensive acumen.

Any ice time Connor loses is a win for a glorified AHLer.
