Analyst reveals the real problem with Leafs captain John Tavares

"I think you clearly saw some physical discomfort. When you are grimacing, having your head down on the bench on almost every other shift. When John Tavares, who is not a lightning fast skater, lacks a bit of explosiveness in tight areas which has led to trouble... I think Tavares is both in pain and frustrated because his body is prohibiting him from doing what he wanted to do on the ice. We saw him go through a really long slump where he struggled to score a five on five goal. I stand beside him during games. You never see him emote that frustration. In the game on Tuesday, many times he was shaking his head, and smashed his stick. It's obvious that he is frustrated and there is something going on."
