My guess is that there is an emotional let down. Probably the team was fighting as hard as they could to get Ovi the record. When they did it there was a weeklong Super Bowl party. Heck, coaches were talking about how players would tell their grandkids about being part of the goal scoring record moment. So with the goal accomplished, the players lost their edge. They relaxed. Locking the number one seed probably hurt their hunger too. I doubt they are consciously doing it, but I can imagine it does feel like it'd be easy to take a victory lap right now. The queston is, how long will it take to build the fire back up.
I suspect not long.
