No, he will just need to play this way when it matters. As of today, he has shown a propensity for good and even great play in he regular season and to go David Backes on us in the playoffs. No doubt he as the ability. The question is whether or not he can show up in the playoffs... Of course if they play him like this until then, he may collapse mid-game from exhaustion. They really should think about getting him a rest in the near future...

More importantly...

Why the fork is Robby Fabbri fighting? Why the fork is Tarasenko fighting a few weeks ago? WTF is wrong with this team that valuable goal scorers are running the risk of broken bones in fights? It isn't like we have a plethora of goal scorers and can afford to lose one for 6 weeks or so while a hand or facial bone heals... I think it shows just how lacking this team is in toughness and leadership.

And what happened to Hitchcock's revelation this past off-season that he needed to change a little too? What happened to opening up the offense a little and letting some of these playmakers make plays? I fear this style in the postseason is going to make it very hard to win game and ultimately series. We shall see.
