I think Bennett was referring to the fact that in Calgary you have the media attention cranked up, and everywhere you go in public you know everyone recognizes you and is well aware you aren't performing. I'm sure some people have difficulties not keeping that to themselves, as well.

In Florida, you get to disappear into relative anonymity between games and take a mental break from the game.

Some people have the ability to overcome the pervasive attention easier than others. I'm sure it's miserable for some people.
