Never a fan of his but let the guy have an opinion, and let him voice it. It may be wrong but at least he’s honest. And, who knows what GG or the other coaches said to him about the situation going into the season and/or how he misconstrued it.
Players at that level, especially ones that were starters, want to play, and not playing gives them no chance to compete or continue to get paid an NHL cheque for much longer, so there of course is some ego involved.
And, he did have a fairly short leash it seemed this year in comparison to other goalies and backup goalies over the yearshere, and, in comparison to many lacklustre performances of position players who remain in the lineup for months.
