A message he sent to himself during media availability is gonna be the fire starter? C’mon.
I'd rather see if it is than just scratch the guy and let that potential fire burn out watching from the press box, when you can achieve the same result a game later if it didn't kick him in the pants.
No one is providing a good reason for why he HAS to be scratched this upcoming game; Dvorak served up two pizzas in the same game and ended up on the 5-on-3 and starting 3-on-3 overtime, hardly the time to start using Dach as a precedent.
