Sounds like the rumors of him tearing up the dressing room might have merit.
Tearing up the room and maybe his teammates? Saying "I pride myself of being a good teammate" could mean it's more between him and the players.
The "tearing up the room" narrative doesn't work.
Athletes have been trashing locker rooms/breaking sticks, light and shower fixtures since the dawn of time. It's like rock stars trashing hotel rooms. American as Apple Pie as it were.
Bill him and maybe sit him for a day. It's nothing that would unfold like this situation. It would be real easy to say "Sergei threw a fit and busted stuff for the 10th time after being warned not to do it again". It wouldn't have to be shrouded in secrecy. They are not keeping this mysterious to spare Bobrovsky some embarrassment about throwing a temper tantrum on some sticks and walls.
Would never have reached this level. Not a chance.Or it really could be that simple and the team has already put it behind them.
Dream On. Would never have reached this level. Not a chance.
Have you ever heard of a player simply breaking something and the fallout reach this level? Ever?
A locker room trashing would be a laughing matter. This is not.
I'm not going to pretend to follow every team's player's temper tantrums and the resulting "fallout" so I won't answer that. But even if this exact situation had literally never happened before, who cares? Not that "simply breaking something" is an accurate representation of this situation, either.
I also don't necessarily think it was just a single "locker room tear-up," but at the same time I don't think there's some huge conspiracy theory type deal going on behind the scenes, like the type of thing I'm inferring you think happened from your posts.
You really ought to get off of that lazy cliche.
I'm not inferring anything of the sort. It has to do with the long term problems surrounding the contract and the people involved in that. Hardly cloak and dagger type stuff.
Really sounds like he took things out on his teammates."That's what solving things and moving on is all about," General Manager Jarmo Kekalainen said. "Sometimes you can use these types of things to become tight as a group and as a team. But it's really important you always air them out face-to-face and you move past them and learn from it rather than letting it linger and doing the talking behind their back. That's why we always ring it all out in the open."
The Jackets are keeping it pretty close to the vest whatever happened. I asked a friend of mine before last game what happened and he didn't know (he is good friends with someone inside the organization and he will usually know something).
I guess like others I would be surprised if it was just tearing up a locker room, unless in doing so he injured a staffer or something along those lines.

Most of the instances of players trashing locker rooms I'm familiar with are from ages ago. Perhaps you can show me some more recent examples.
As far as your comment that they should just sit him for a day, to me that's exactly what just happened. He sat yesterday. The media/fans went into a tizzy but that's just a thing they tend to do.
Don't know if this has been posted.
