Or he was going to be a defenseman.Remember when Brian Boyle was gonna be our Kopitar?
$68 million reasons not to learn at this point either.So I’m not pardoning his slacking at all
But it’s pretty clear PLD just was never taught/never developed checking work. You would think that’s something we could instill if he gave a shit
The way he feebly reaches for pucks and exerts no leverage just looks like a guy who dominated lower levels and never had to think about it, sort of like Q’s flybys as a rookie
