The physical part of his game is back. But he is paid to put the puck in the net and his performance in the playoffs has been terrible in that regard Still, he has another game...
Going back to the regular season Nash has 11 goals in his last 50 games. Pretty ridiculous for a guy with an almost $8 million cap hit.
While I'm glad to see Nash asserting himself physically, it's almost making me more frustrated with him. We all said similar things after the Columbus game. This kind of heart and effort shouldnt be an occasional thing. I'm not saying he needs to lay 5 hits a game all through the regular season, but he also shouldnt be pussyfooting around the majority of the time. Either way, he's waking up and finally going to the net. I'm putting him down for a goal in game 5.
Your 8 million dollar a year player needs to be huge in games like this, he should be feared around that net tonight. He should park his big ass right in front of that goalie whenever he can.
Mr Nash has another opportunity to rewrite his playoff story. Rangers really need him tonite. Let's pull for him
