Agreed. I've never really found that to be a valid excuse for acting like a dick and throwing tantrums on the ice and in media scrums.
Iggy was one of the fiercest competitors this league has ever seen but he was a great teammate and is a great person off the ice. Instead of taking it out on his team, when he got fired up he'd find the oppositions best defenceman and kick his ass.
And yeah the Lebron and Mackinnon comparisons don't really do it for me either because one of those things are not like the others lol... and I personally haven't heard any reports of those guys essentially bullying teammates.
