I would say Cav deserved abuse in the offseason, but maybe has earned a grace period on criticism the way his team has played considering the turnover, the youth, and having to deal with a crazy goaltending situation.
So if he talks about his house on the cape in response to a question, I don't see the issue.
His team played their ass off up at BU with their third stringer goalie while getting beaten up by the officials in the third period.
This UMass series will be another good litmus test. If they're going third string again, a split would be impressive
