I think there is something wrong with him. Watching the DVR of the game, he seems to be way slower than he's been in the past. When he gets caught pinching, nearly everyone blows by him like he's standing still. I realize he's never been blessed with excessive speed but I never considered him slow. Plus he's been falling down a lot and doing it in open ice with no one near him. Honestly, I think the move of putting him back with Keith was to help him out a bit and not a necessarily a game stategy. He'd be a tough one to lose if he truly is hurt.

I only saw him fall once which was in 2ot.. Seems fine to me I didn't watch him specifically though.

I'd blame injury if he hadn't been playing this way all season long. But it's been a rough year for No. 7, save a few great performances later in the Wings' series.

Yeah, it hasnt been one of his better seasons. But he went down on his own 3 times in the OTs. One was just as there was a camera switch, so if you werent following him instead of the puck, you'd probably miss it. Plus he's pulling up on some checks which isnt like him at all. You could say its fatigue issues but if you add in the playoff games along with the shortened regular season, he still hasnt played a normal 82 yet. Toss in the fact that Q didnt use them much vs Boston's top line, which he almost never does. All of this makes me think he's hurt.
