I completely agree. Your online personality and behavior is part of who you are. If you're a jerk online, then you're a jerk, simple as that. (There were a few words I wanted to use instead of "jerk" but I figured I'd keep it family friendly.)
I'm sure it's coincidence. He got hurt and left part way through the game. I highly doubt he would fake an injury during a game just to get an extra couple days off. If it was a mysterious injury during practice I might think otherwise.
Also, overlooked on the Boeser goal was that Schmaltz stayed aware of the play when it broke apart just outside the blue line. Schmaltz quickly held up while Boeser was gaining possession and crossing the blue line so he didn't go offside.
Never noticed that before. I know the DECC was that way, too, and I never understood why they would do that. It gives a massive unfair advantage to the home team.
