It's not immaturity, it's personality. Suzuki is water, not fire. He's not the type who's going to energize his teammates before a game to make them work harder or show emotion when things don't work.

Yeah no shit. The problem is, Koivu was also like that, but he left it all on the ice no matter what, contrarily to Nick.

Koivu probably had more "fire" (or compete) than Nick does.

And that's the whole problem. If your captain is taciturn and introvert, he needs to have compete and show the example on this ice, like Koivu did.
