If as United said it wasn't the first time it clearly wasn't working and the message wasn't getting through.
Whether it is the accepted norm in hockey, or if Kane deserved it is irrelevant.
IMO it is childish and despicable behaviour and it is something the team should have stepped in to prevent long before this incident.
Could you see this flying in our locker room with Gio, Hartley, Burke (a big anti bullying advocate) and Trevliving in charge? Doubtful

A $200 track suit is hardly something to get into a huff about. Especially since it wasn't supposed to be in the locker room in the first place.
Despicable and childish are terms used in hyperbole here. Management is at fault for not nipping this in the bud sooner? yes. Players taking things into their own hands because of inaction by management is hardly despicable behaviour. You're making a mountain out of a mole hill.
Who cares about the what if"s and the Flames, it's not like the locker room ha been nothing but happiness and joy and commradery in the past here either.
