Sure Kane is at fault for breaking team dress code, but it's clear that it isn't the first incident he had with teammates.
Also if Kane felt it was serious enough that he had to miss the game he clearly feels like he is being singled out and bullied by teammates.
My point is that it was handled poorly by Byfuglien and his teammates, and even worse by the coaching staff and management team.
The hockey community likes to act like they support things like anti bullying programs in schools, mental health awareness programs, Right to play etc
But then the hockey community loves to turn a blind eye to things like hazing and bullying in the locker room, and pass it off as "something that happens in hockey" or as "good leadership".
Fact is Kane was being bullied (broken rules or not it is still bullying) and mentally he was worn out enough by it that he felt he had to miss the game.

Now Kane is being Bullied? Holy cow ramp up the hyperbole even more!
So let me get this straight, Player X alienates himself from his team mates, constantly break the rules of professional conduct, has constant run ins with other team mates because of his conduct, they get sick of it, turn his track suit into a wet towel by throwing it into a shower...A SHOWER! do not harm him mentally or physically but get his clothes wet and he's being bullied!
Cry me a river. You act like a chump you're going to get treated like a chump. It's always been this way and it always will. And that's in all walks of life.
I cannot believe you're playing the victim card on Kane here.
