what happened to Nuge? did he start taking stupid pills in the summer? i've never seen him make so many dumb plays, I always considered him a smart, high hockey IQ player, and this year he has been anything but.

People were talking about Leon regressing due to age last year.

It genuinely looks like Nuge is hitting the wall this season. He's three steps behind physically and mentally this year.
Even avoiding contact for the last 13 years couldn’t preserve him.

A great deal of it looks to be simply complacency, to be honest. I've always been a Nuge fan, he stuck with it through a decade plus of awful teams and signed a nice deal here but.. when you're an established vet, and all but guaranteed your spot without the threat of losing your position, well...

Upsetting because again, I've always had time for Nuge. Has to be far better.
