I dont get how players can be lazy. You're playing a kids game and getting paid. Countless people want to be in your spot. Some people maybe should be in your spot and youre lazy?
Dont get that mind frame
His training or lack of proper training and genetics are holding him back at being a faster player. Ritchie I think has his slow twitch muscles developed more than fast twitch muscles. In Junior he got away with just over powering guys. In the NHL he is up against the best of the best. This is part of the reason why he can be a second too slow and at times and is caught reaching and taking penalties or being out of position.
I do not know why he did not address that during his time off in between the season stoppage and the bubble start. That was as long as any off-season and prep should have been done to change it. The staff must have laid out a regiment for the players to do in isolation, the professionals heeded it.
He needs to get lighter and quicker, the staff will help him the way they did with Miller. They are very similar, heavy guys that have limited puck and skating skills. Miller fixed his stride, pivoting and endurance. Get him to the teams nutritionist, power skating coach and psychologist (it helped Marchand). Wherever he is now he should be in the gym doing quickness, explosive drills and less power stuff, till he gets back to Boston and the camps.

Probably because it's a job. No matter what job you do, and how much you enjoy it, do you always give 100% every minute of every day you're at work? If you enjoy something as a kid, but then have to constantly do it for the rest of your life, maybe you won't love it as much.
I doubt that double burgers and fries at Burger Priest are on his nutritionist’s to do list.His training or lack of proper training and genetics are holding him back at being a faster player.

This is so true. In my own life, I used to love history- until I had to do it for a living. Now I like it sometimes, and hate it sometimes, but there are days when I am mailing it in no doubt.
What has he been doing this offseason? a Ducks fan said he worked out with Gary Roberts one offseason, is he doing that now?
His been working out with the master....
This will be me over Xmas getting ready for the 2nd half of my beer league season.
lol...I started running again and now have upper knee bursitis. Grrrr. Running through it.
I recently picked up a ball hockey game, first time playing ball hockey in about 6 years, so really my first time running in six years. It's hard on the old joints. Back, hips, knees, they all hurt after a game.
