"NHL Player" is still a job. Maybe some players don't actually want to win the cup.
Imagine if your job came to you and was like "Hey, so we're actually going to need you to work several months of overtime while the other half of the company is on holiday. Oh yeah, the work will be harder and the days will be often longer. What's that, will you get paid more? Ha, good one, but we do have a shiny trophy for whoever works the most and does the best!"
I don't think you'd be thrilled.
