If I'm wrong, and if other information comes out that there was some additional reason beyond "I'm just not feeling it, would rather be at home with the fam", then I'm prepared to revise my view. But based on the information we have, which, according to the GM, is all there is... he quit.
The guy's a millionaire. His wife and kids will be fine without him for a bit, just as they are when long road trips happen. There are lots of players in this thing who I'm sure miss their families, and there are lots of them who have recently born kids. Ivan Barbashev's first child was born this week and he's currently undergoing the testing procedures to get back into the bubble and into the lineup as quickly as possible, so he can do his job and help his teammates. Bo Horvat's first born arrived in June, and he's leading his team through two games. There are lots of other examples.
I'm perfectly content to judge him. |
So you are prepared to judge him on the basis of a tweet, which is a max of 280 characters? I think that's brutal. Family situations are always more complicated. We have no idea what is going on.
But go ahead and make a judgement on the basis of a tweet. I guess this is the world we live in.
