He needs to bulk up some more for sure, he gets pushed all over the place it seems....and when he does he kinda seems like he gets pissy about it.....if he bulked up he could take out his pissiness on the player instead of @ the refs.
You can see the fear in his eyes when little scrums break out around the net after whistles ESPECIALLY if it's just him there with no teammates close by.
I get that he's a kid and these are legit dudes he's got to deal with but he really needs to zip it up.
He'll get it eventually, maybe he just needs his fighting cherry popped.
Besides, he doesn't have to bother mixing it up before he's ready, there are plenty on the team that will step in for him.
He needs to do what he did to win game 6, identify and move to those open slots where he can exploit the defense with his speed...I've had enough of him trying to deke past people, doesn't seem to be working.
On a side note, watching Brian Rolston for the past month or two has been a blast from the past...and a blast from the point, and from the left circle, etc....
The dude is so slapshot-happy sometimes it drives me insane, most often when the goalie isn't giving up rebounds as Holtby has.
