I'm one of JEE's biggest supporters, but his demeanor is troublesome. Whenever they show him on the bench, he's sitting apart from his teammates looking uncomfortable. Lack of confidence can not only lead to poor play on the ice, but also a mindset where you don't believe you're good enough, an idea that the other players blame you or expect you to do more, the thought you don't belong, etc etc. This is just speculation on my part, but he appears so uncomfortable, to me. I wonder how many friends he has on the team, and how his off ice life is going.
The only time I notice that is when they show the bench and the Wild are on the PP. I haven't really noticed this team (the ones that have been here for all the Playoff runs) being very talkative when on the bench.
Maybe the struggling Wild FWDs just need to all take an Uber ride together.
