Who knows what the problem is. What we do know is that he is only 22 and that he's playing on hockey's biggest stage with enormous expectations against a bitch of an opponent. I would say that the pressure has gotten to him, it happens afterall.
Kudos to Sid the Kid for being able to play through it all, I guess that just shows you where his mental development and leadership (he does after all wear the C) are at compared to Malkin at this young stage in their careers.
Like some others have mentioned, many players who have gone on to be superstars in the playoffs have had a bumpy ride earlier on. I don't expect him to make a habit of this; this experience will probably be valuable for him next time. I'm sure we will see great things from Gino in the future; just maybe not in a Pens uniform.
