I wouldn't be surprised at all if some of his attitude problems have stemmed from the tension between him and Warren Rychel, indicated in the article. Rychel has always had an agenda with respect to promoting his kid and getting him into the NHL. The first year Kirby was on the team he was absolutely horrendous! No way he should have taken a spot from someone. When Ho-Sang came along who was clearly so far above Kirby's skill level it probably caused Warren concern with respect to his kid getting noticed.
