I agree. He's a junior, and I'm not advocating for him to not be excused for his actions, or not given the opportunity to learn and grow from his mistake.
My comment was towards the folks wanting to basically overlook the fact that this kid did "make a mistake" because they feel Boughner handled it less than perfectly. Doesn't matter. He shouldn't have walked out on his team, and it should be handled appropriately to teach the appropriately lesson for the kid so he can grow from it and become a better hockey player, team mate and person from it. It shouldn't be handled as an "its ok you did that cause coach made a mistake" type of fashion.
