I think he needs to clear his head somehow. He's in one of those negative zones, you can see it in his body language, his self confidence is gone. He's trying to do too much to get out of it, wild shots from the half boards. He just needs to focus on doing the little things right and he'll get back to it. He's a better player than this. Unfortunately the Flames need him to get his crap together soon, he needs to be playing well for the team to be playing well.
