I think he almost appears like he knows he is the best now, but rather than being offended enough by his lack of production, he is mature enough to think of it as a slump that will eventually come around
I think he needs to feel that sense of urgency, which incidentally is the same problem with the Flames this year
There are a lot of competitive people in the world and nobody is sitting by, waiting and giving you time to pull your stuff together.
I know he has been hurt and his coach is suspect. And the right thing to do is to believe in what the coach wants from the team. But he can't let that muddy his level of compete

I don't buy it.
I know he has ONE cup. It's huge.
But the desire fore the cup should be enough. If that doesn't motivate him to be his best, then you know what, NO THANKS.
Look at Toews, Kane, Keith, Seabrook.
One cup is never enough. One win. Is never enough. One goal is never enough. That's how a winner thinks.
I don't believe he has reached his goals and given up. I think he has more, a lot more, to give!!
