I don't want to bash Darcy because he just helped the team win a Cup, but the idea his eye injury was the only reason he played poorly just isn't true.
That may or may not have played a part in the playoffs, but he struggled literally all year with soft goals.
Even during his best stretch around the new year that everyone always points to, he was still giving up the occasional soft goal, especially on long distance shots. His numbers were great because the team was playing great, but it wasn't like some of those stretches that Varly had where he was standing on his head every night. He didn't have to.
