That thread seems to really be something to behold, while some parts are valid criticisms it's still a veritable witch hunt. The shoot first (with a good number of ranting posts), ask questions later mentality is just ridiculous. Not saying that such a mentality isn't ever present on other forums.
Rich is out for one game due to personal reasons:
"He doesn't want to play! I hear he's left for Boston without permission! Good riddance! They probably finally came to their senses and fired him! I bet it's something really minor, he just doesn't care about the team!"
Turns out that his child had some medical situation:
*crickets*
Rich skips a Facebook session where he's supposed to take questions from fans:
"He just didn't feel like coming! He doesn't care about the fans! He doesn't have the guts to face the fans the way he's been playing! Just fire him already, he doesn't care!"
Turns out that he was unable to come because of a rescheduled team function:
*crickets*
TBH after these latest outbursts I'm not sure those guys
deserve a Peverley that's giving 100%.

I mean it's okay to criticize the way he's playing, but looking at recent posts, ones that attack his character are probably more common than ones that criticize his play. I find that tasteless.
Personally I'm just glad I've gotten to see one of the '11 guys live a bunch of times, no better consolation for no Bruins games to watch.
