Then you must really hate talking to yourself and reading your own posts.
You quoted me, I did not seek you out and engage with you. So my point is what matters, not yours, since you responded to something I said. If you want to discuss his thought process, I've already addressed it multiple times, even if you don't want to agree with what I said. That's again, on you, not me. You seem to think I'm giving him a free pass and are trying to vindicate him. I'm not. I'm just not whining like a baby over what he did like you and others seem to be. You seem want people to all line up and crucify the guy for some reason over one dumb play in 36 games, and you're getting angry when people don't jump into line and automatically agree with you.
But guess what? Players put their team in bad spots all the time. It's part of the game, whether it's a bad hit resulting in a suspension, or a bad penalty at a key point in the game. What does pissing and moaning about it and whining that other people won't acknowledge it do? If that's what you want to do, and it's certainly what you've been doing, then go right ahead. That's your journey and you have fun with it. I prefer to simply watch the games and see what happens, regardless of who is playing or not playing, for whatever reason. I'm not going to cry over anything because it's entertainment and nothing more.
But again, let's step back and talk about why what he did bothers you so much? He put the team in a bad spot? Okay, and? Is the season cancelled? Are they not still playing the Winter Classic tomorrow? Does him getting suspended preclude them from qualifying for the playoffs? Nope. Not at all. There are still plenty of games left to play and plenty of chances to control their own destiny. If anything, you should be more annoyed that the team had 3 chances to take over first place and **** the bed in all three (games that included the guilty party, no less). That's far more of a detriment to their success than a singular player doing something stupid and having to sit out a few games. But hey, what do I know, I'm just a straw man.
