I love how Okposo is playing the last month and I credit the Bailey-Nielsen-Okposo line for being a major reason, the isles are making the playoff push, but I disagree with the writer that the efforts been there all season.
Are Okposo slow starts a confidence issue or bad conditioning?

Okposo Finding Offensive Groove
Right wing Kyle Okposo has come on strong late in the season, pushing the Islanders into the driver's seat of a tight playoff race

The effort and energy have been there all season for Kyle Okposo, who’s embraced his physical, grinding role as a power forward on the Islanders top shut-down unit. After an admittedly slow start statistically to the 2012-13 season, the Islanders right winger has turned things around with points in seven of his last 12 games.
Okposo says he hasn’t made any radical changes to his game to account for his production, but in recent weeks his hard-nosed style has worn on opponents, causing turnovers and generating opportunities for his line to strike.
