Unfortunately the reality is, the majority of this board is off-base when it comes to Stephen Weiss. People around here have some very unrealistic expectations of the guy, who, for all intents and purposes, has missed 2 years of hockey. Case in point, a friend of mine plays the guitar. He played day in day out for like 10 years. A while back he injured his hand and stopped playing. When he picked it up again, he was rusty as hell, but he hadn't lost that ability to play. It took some practice (and in that case, practice means actually playing, unlike hockey) but he eventually got back up to speed.
Weiss has probably been playing hockey for 20+ years, 11 of which (excluding the last two) have been at the highest level in the world. It's gonna take some time (and by that I mean actual game time) to get his form back. The issues he's having can be anything. His timing could be off, he could be clutching cause he feels the urgency to impress Babs, he could be apprehensive because he's worried about reinjuring himself, etc. One thing it is not though, he hasn't suddenly forgotten how to play hockey. Lastly, anybody on this board who truly cares about this team should be rooting for this guy, not against.
