IMO one of the most unappealing sides of this board is the constant certainty people have that just because there's been a lot of smoke there can absolutely not be any fire. They want to really believe that everything was perfect and their favourite players were in fact perfect even though this is not reality and anyone that thinks otherwise is psychoanalyzing.
When the coach comes out and says there's no more divisions on this team and that it will no longer be tolerated there can only be one conclusion in that there was in fact divisions on this team. End of story. This really isn't surprising as there have been numerous indications from Robyn Regehr, Brent Sutter, Jim Playfair, etc that certain players weren't on the same page as the coach and that there were differing opinions within the locker room on how some players were expected to play. I'm not telling you that you have to accept this as truth but it's not up to you to push for everyone else to ignore the fact that there is a lot of evidence that places some pretty fair merit to the constant rumours.
