We can't forget that Andy is supposed to be a leader of this team also. Being down 2-0 after 2 somewhat harmless shots puts a lot of pressure on the players to try and get back into the game. They start to grip the stick a little harder, etc. It didn' t show much leadership when Andy pulled himself from the game, but I guess I don't know the whole story behind that incident. The team was obviously working harder that night and it probably let them down a bit. I don't believe the BS about the new arena being a distraction. He and KG didn't seem to have a problem at the Xcel Energy Center last year which is very similar to the Ralph. It just boils down to concentration and focus. Andy seems to lose his at times. All in all I hope Andy finds a way to put it together for the rest of the year. He's definitely going to need improved play from the team in front of him since hockey is, after all, a team sport.
