Option 2
With some years in the SHL, Dionne have accepted that he won't win every year the big prize, and he have made peace with probably never won it. He still have some years ahead of him chasing it, but the prime of his years are behind him, as much as the prime of his team. The famous game seven last season will remain forever in his memory where he was so close to finally won it, but for some reason (I know it, it's FHM but can't really put the fault of the sim engine in there lol) he wasn't able to make the difference in this game and his dream was shattered. 
Before that game I would say that he was living "fine" with loosing as it's part of the game and you can't win them all, but that particular game at home in front of his crowd burn him through his soul.
