Jeff Petry is off to the worst start of his career, and he really doesn't seem to be in the mood. There is definitely something wrong, something that is bothering him, something that is paralyzing him and preventing him from playing at full capacity.
Is he injured? Is he under too much pressure? The answer to both of these questions may be "yes", but one thing that is becoming more and more apparent is the growing distance between Dominique Ducharme and himself. According to "JiC", Petry no longer seems happy in Montreal because of (perhaps) the system advocated by Dominique Ducharme.
"Petry is brooding, that's clear. He looks like an unhappy guy. He's scrappy in his zone, lousy at offensive production."
