He can do what ever he wants to keep himself healthy (which he wasn't last year btw) but no one is immune from father time+wear and tear.
You can slow the process down, but eventually it gets to everyone. His game has already slipped from where it was a few years ago, 3-4 years from now I can't imagine that it won't slip some more.
Injuries happen. That's just life in sports. I hate injuries as an excuse. The Finals vs the Kings it was probably the one thing that held us back, but it is what it is.
He may have had some bumps and nicks but he was still pretty incredible for a guy who was 36 and was a little banged up. If injuries were that large of a concern then more people should be worried that we're resting so much in Zbads future because as much as I like him and he brings that lethal RHS on the PP, the guys an absolute bandaid.
I don't disagree on father time and his inevitable control on a body. You're talking about it almost absolute though. The kind of guys that usually hold off father time and play beyond that are generational talents like Henrik. (In terms of hockey Hasek and Broduer jump to mind and Brady does the same in football).
Of course his game has slipped a bit from 31 to 36. Did you not see a guy who went head and shoulders above what was expected and was still one of the best players at his position? Because that's exactly what happened. My point is, it's fair to make the father time point about any athlete. What's not fair is to label a guy like Henrik who puts in a mass amount of quality control into his lifestyle and preparation to stay ahead of the curve and has seemingly (proof being in last year) been effective at it as a victim of father time. The proof is just significantly in the favor of him being effective going forward rather than falling off a cliff.
I am not saying he is as effective as he used to be. That retort would essentially be a straw mans opinion. It's undeniable and not the conversation or claim being made. He most certainly is not falling off a cliff and just last year proved up against abnormally rough circumstances that he can be the goalie we need him to be going forward.
