A GWG that he probably should've been able to put in. Was it because he was tired? Dunno. But if you watched the OT, it was absolutely ridiculous how he refused to come off the ice even before the PP. I get he's the best offensive player and trusted, but 4:18 is absurd. On top of that he's been pretty bad lately, so maybe lessen his load instead of increasing it, if he's tired in general?
I agree with your premise. I will say the OT wasnt overly back and forth, 2 minutes of that was PP time, and there were a few stoppages for draws to catch his breath . The energy usage wasnt as high as a normal 4 minutes of OT would be.
