Taking one for the team.
Also, it is worth noting that there were press reports back in April that mentioned that he'd been late to training and to games (missed the team bus a couple of times, apparently), and that he had a bit of a strop on him. While on the field, he seems like a hard worker, these things do have to be noted.
His mother is simultaneously our best chance of getting him and our biggest worry in terms of his personal situation: how amusing.
I'm not saying we should judge these lads on their behaviour at this age: you're absolutely right, they're still kids and their mistakes and strops are mostly minor ones when compared to what (I'd wager) the majority of us probably like at their ages. However, modern professional football has this odd way of magnifying inconsequential details and demanding nonsensically strict codes of conduct from its players: and with a hard trainer like Poch around, who clearly won't stand for stroppiness or disobedience to any great degree....that sort of behaviour is probably taken more seriously inside the halls of WHL than it is by us, or even by other clubs in the PL. That's all.
