Drai looked drunk out there. Keep it rolling into Colorado!

Drai played 24:30 tonight. Vs McDavid's 21:30.
Hope Hitch knows what he's doing with Drai. He's been getting big minutes for that big body.

If that's the case (I think Hitch had LD on the PK), then its showing in LD's energy level. He has a tendency to get the puck in the O-zone, then stops with the puck to look around for a pass, but while he does, he stops moving his feet and the Defense close in, forcing him into a bad pass, or cough-up. Needs to keep moving.

LD is so talented and yet he's probably the guy I yell at most watching a game. You see him just hauling ass on that breakout where Connor scored the goal, then you see possession on the RW 5x5 and on the PP where he just gets lazy with his feet, coasts, grinds to a near halt...painting himself into a corner. Then the cutiepie or blind prayer pass for a turnove...or sometime a great feed. The young man could be great, among the top half dozen forwards in the game because you can see that in him...you get glimpses. Sometimes he's really motivated on the backcheck and you see a beauty of a defensive play and an opportunity going the other way, but sometimes not so much.
I do think he loses his legs as the game goes on, you can see that forced stride when he's trying to get off at the end of a shift. I don't know if you need him on the PK. If someone can get into his mind and manage him properly, it's the difference between a star player who can finish with Connor and a superstar. I think some of these traits are what's keeping him from being a 2nd line center right now. He's young though and he can evolve. Hope he does.
