Again I'm talking about next year. The kiddie training is over. The kiddies are now getting paid and running the show. Maddy a future HOFer can't do it anymore. He is a pro and he gets worked over on the training table between the 1st and 2nd and then in the ice tub for the 2nd intermission. I get all of that. But net result is we get max 4 decent shifts a game now. Next year maybe we get 1 or 2. I mean common father time has arrived. Time to pack it in.
It's not just about him though. It's a chemistry thing.
If I think having Marleau here makes Matthews and Marner just a little more motivated to help win him a Cup then I absolutely want him on my roster.
We can laugh at it...but millionaire athletes need some extra motivation to push themselves over the top at times. I can see them all being willing to sacrifice a little extra if it means they can hand him a Cup at center ice.
