I'm not a particularly big fan of his, and readily admit that a large part of that is the uniform he wears. But I think he genuinely regrets these things he keeps doing. I don't think he goes in to games intending to do crap like that. I just think he gets too caught up in the moment.

Note that I'm not making excuses for him. His suspension is entirely appropriate, and likely past due. I just know that that tantrum on the bench last night wasn't because he got a T, it was because he knew he MASSIVELY blew it. He embarrassed himself, again, and embarrassed his parents and his team. And he set himself up for months more of social media hate.

Again, the scorn well-earned, but, having children of my own that have screwed up, and seeing the genuine regret, and fear, and self-loathing resulting from those screw ups, I feel bad for the guy.
