He can't control himself....his emotions get the better of him.....and it costs other players, not him , other players. But you want me to accept that he has had a set back and is a good guy, and we need to be more understanding. If we were talking about an alcoholic or a drug addict trying to reform himself and having a set back, where he is the only one paying for his lack of self control.....ok. But this guy threatens all players at all times, since we aren't sure when he is gonna have another set back. He has issues, bottom line, issues that put other peoples well being at risk.
IMO his time has run out, his grace period is long over, and he should no longer be an NHL hockey player.
