Where's the Captain? - Deathwalker disappearing in Cup Final

[animal74 1,863]

After scoring six goals and eight points in Malmo’s first 13 playoff games resulting in series wins over European rivals Davos and Warsaw, Nighthawks captain, Druss Deathwalker has struggled mightily against the Seattle Bears even though his team jumped out to a 3-0 series lead but in now 3-2 following two straight Bear wins. In five Finals games, Deathwalker has failed to record a point and is a disconcerting -4. He is also shooting and hitting less. After averaging over four hits a game through the first two series, the Captain, who currently leads the league in playoff hits by one over Bears’ Isabella Campbell, has only managed nine in the Cup Final which is only third on the team.

 

One reporter wrote, “Deathwalker is not the same force he was against the Dynamo and Predators. He doesn’t have the same jump and aggression, kind of like a wounded animal. The Nighthawks better hope he perks up, because they’re missing their Captain right now and they need a boost.”

 

Has his hard-hitting style caught up to him in this long playoff run? Is he hurt or has he just run out of gas? Can he help Malmo get one more win to claim the Continental Cup?
