It was a petulant move. Like the Swedish hockey player who tossed away his silver medal at the world juniors. Not something you would expect from a guy who is supposed to be one of the top ambassadors for the league and the game. His own parents expected more of him.

Exactly the first thing I thought of, the world junior silver toss. Obviously not as egregious, but he just had a historic run and the league holds him up as the face of it. The shot of his dad cheering and getting ready to take a photo actually made me sad.
