He has 21 points in 26 playoff games including 10 in 6 games two years ago.
Not great but not pathetic. Chucky has 15 in 27 games for comparison.
There's no way he forgot how to play hockey or is just a soft player that only gets points in easy games. He's a career .9 point per game player including this year.
Not saying he's beyond fault in any way but I believe much of the blame is on the coach and his inability to help the player succeed between media comments, line combinations, and lack of ice time.
