Gives a perspective of how some players approach the game mentally. It generally takes passion and work ethic to make it as an NHLer.


Not the world per se, but the world is littered with majorly talented players, who didn't have the passion or the will, talent by itself will get you nowhere in life.

Sure, but you can apply this for any industry. I just think it's interesting.

I also think it's important to humanize the players to understand and tolerate imperfections.

Ovechkin leading the league in goals and is on pace for 68. While I don't expect him to keep up this pace or win the Rocket Richard it is still remarkable what he's doing at 39 years old. He got injured last night though.

Saw that and hope it's just a stinger, I mean it's absolutely remarkable that he's likely to set the goals record...it's even MORE remarkable that he stands to do it in fewer games than Gretzky despite missing so much of his prime in lockouts. Rooting for him!

Helge Grans made his NHL debut last night for Philadelphia and had an awesome game, 16:01 TOI, an assist, and a +2.

Just another feather in Yanetti's cap really

great drafting

dogshit development and deployment

At this point it's much more surprising when someone leaves and DOESNT have more success in a more prominent role elsewhere
