I've been out on MT for awhile.
His antics have surpassed his game, and the 'intangibles' have inflated his value to this fanbase and management team.
Matt Cooke could 'drag teammates into the fight', too.
It would be one thing if his game over compensated for the antics, but when the on-ice performance falls the antics can be...kind of cringeworthy as a fan? I personally have a hard time cheering for him even when he's at his best.
