I agree that this is likely what happened, but it also is somewhat his fault. He was comfortable but he was also the Captain.

reading his comments when he went to Pittsburgh were like a knife to the heart. He was talking about the training regimes and atmosphere and all these other things that they did that he liked and it make me think:

You're the captain man, its partly your responsibility to shape the atmosphere of the team and to bring teammates into training.

But he didnt. He 'led by example' which is hockey-code for 'did his own thing and other people followed if they wanted to. Or not. Whichever.
