Isn't it past the point of rewarding or punishing veterans over a few bad plays in 1 game, a game where that player was also the most physical on the team and blocked 8 shots? I dunno, I just don't look at it as being rewarded as much as it is more like depending on a veteran player to shake it off. They need his physicality and willingness to sacrifice the body in these games whether anyone likes it or not. He's playing hard.
