But what's more possible.

The guy should be counting his lucky stars, not complaining about not getting his due.

It seems you're having a hard time separating facts. The possibility of Arniel hating Commodore because he was single and rich does not preclude the possibility that Commodore sucks.

Again, Commodore only pointed the finger at Arniel and not at everyone. Commodore didn't say there was a conspiracy.

Not sure what you're trying to get at. Arniel was a rookie NHL coach and there was some controversy between him and a few other players besides Commodore. Interestingly, Commodore averaged over 18+ minutes when he wasn't made a healthy scratch.

The other way around that is that Commodore never questioned Babcock's hockey smarts. Commodore only accused Babcock of not being truthful with him.
