...95% of the comments on message boards regarding Mika was high praise for his effort and production and for much of the season if you did point out a flaw in his game (such as the one you referred to) you were torn apart by other posters coming to his defense.

I could see players like Emery getting down from the considerable volume of criticism posted about their game but in Mika's case when 95% of it is high praise I don't see it that being a factor in his decision to leave.
