Personally I don’t really see his legs as being gone. First 5 games of season this guy was actually quite useful in his role and borderline was faster than last year and banging and crashing on that patented forecheck. Playing mean, like he cared.
Since then he decided he does not have to work. It’s not that his legs are gone, it’s that he is floating around 80% of the time on a shift which is unacceptable. He can’t afford not to be working his ass off. Watch next time he gets in the line up he is going to be flying and speed won’t be as much of an issue. He has to hit and intimidate and stand up for forwards and forecheck hard. That’s his role. It doesn’t work if he floats around and that’s what this message is about. It’s not about “not having the legs” because he had them in Oct so he didn’t just lose them in 1 month.
