Quote:

"What I wanted,'' the newest Flame, Milan Lucic, is explaining from the family's off-season ocean-side digs in Manhattan Beach, Calif., "is to walk into a situation where I could just focus on playing and helping the team win.

"When I arrived in Edmonton three years ago I was really excited, believe me. I wanted it to work, so badly, but - in retrospect - maybe I put too much on my plate.

"Looking back now, I think I put too much pressure on myself, trying to be this … guy.

"This leader. This player. This power forward. This big presence off the ice. All this type of stuff.

"I didn't feel like myself at all.

"I'm not blaming anyone there for that. Whatsoever. I just bit off more than I could chew.

"And I think in this situation I can just be myself. Just go about my business; play my game. Play hard. Be physical. Be a good teammate.

"That was definitely one of the things really appealing for me."

...

"In order for me to move on from Edmonton it was important to go to a contending team, a team that was playing meaningful hockey on a night-to-night basis,'' he emphasizes. "Throughout my career that's brought out the best in me and in my game.

"This is a bit more of an older team, with an older captain, which I had in Boston with Zdeno (Chara). Gio is coming off his best year, winning the Norris Trophy - and deservedly so. That's a great starting point for any team.

"Missing the playoffs three of the last four years … I don't want to do that anymore. As I said, I want to be playing meaningful hockey on a night-to-night basis and with the excitement and energy I can bring I think this will revitalize me and help this team take the next step."

I guess he thinks the Flames are a better situation for him to be a passenger and still be able to be a part of winning.

Could be right.
