Yes, telling him to stop costing games by taking stupid penalties was REALLY a bad move.. If the guy can't tell when is the time to go after someone, he shouldn't be going after anybody.
Funnily enough, Laraque was criticized here (''has to send a fax to players for fights'') all the time because he didn't drop his gloves to destroy opponents after they did anything dirty, or hitting our best guys. I mean, almost everybody on this board just wanted Laraque to run after Lucic and just pound his face away. When other posters pointed out that we'd get penalized, most said they didn't care.
White does it this year, gets the extra penalty time, our PK players were pretty mediocre, allowed the goal, and so White becomes the scapegoat.
I have no problem with what White did. That's what everybody wanted here, for our guys to stick up for one another regardless of how many minutes in the box it would cost us.
Maybe you should go back to MT's press conference. He said something along those lines when White return from being scratch:
After the 1st time, we talked to him, the second time we scratched him, he best understand..
So, MT was sharing my POV saying that White cost the team two games.
Actually all that means is that Therrien gave White directives twice, and he didn't get it, and so this is his last chance basically.
It doesn't mean he's blaming White for the defeats.
