The JT Brown Incident: They're still Human

The 2016-17 nhl season has been crazy. Montréal gets blown out 10 to nothing by the Blue Jackets, the Canucks start out 4 and 0, and then there's the JT Brown game.
The Monday game between the tampa bay lightning and Nashville Predators was crazy as can be. After a blind spot hit by JT Brown on Roman Josi, Preds player Dan Ellis goes after Brown with a blind hit later on in the game. These incidents result in major scruffs, and as Ellis and Brown are both sent to the dressing room, Brown is heckled by fans, resulting in him smashing the phone of a spectator recording him.
As a child, I always thought hockey players couldn't speak or were banned from speaking. That's because we never hear them speak, only the commentators do. This brings up the point. People think hockey players are respectful honorable men, but at the same time, they're still human. Everyone has a breaking point where they just lose control. Even the calmest people will have that point. When it happens, you have to leave them alone.
At the same time, booing on the road is basically the same as cheering at home. Brown should've had more self control, and enjoyed the heckling.
Now, about the phone incident, I believe Brown should personally replace the spectator's phone. It's the most downright human thing he could do.
