Lame

Nice excuse here.
It has nothing to do with the game, more to do with effort:

Okposo scored seven goals with four assists, and was a minus-10 on the ice, in 18 games before he left the Gophers as a sophomore to sign with the New York Islanders. Since then, for the Islanders' Bridgeport (Conn.) Sound Tigers team, Okposo has scored two goals with eight assists, and is a plus-2, in 11 games.
