That one still rankles. Not just the off-side call that shouldn't have been a goal, but then they score on the PP that they shouldn't have gotten if the call had been correct. Bleh.

That's sad. Both that they never sought out how to do some basics to take care of themselves and that no one has knocked it into their heads at an earlier age. Makes them come off as even more entitled and unlikeable than before reading that.

Basically players who are shit at taking care of themselves with basics. A dude not knowing how to boil water being the worst of the lot.
Even a sheltered or low IQ dufus, in this day and age, should know that anything they don't know how to do is explained in a YT video.

Knowing what some of Nate's college classmates are like, it is not shocking to me at all.
At least Nate went to college knowing how to make Mac & Cheese and Ramen Noodles.
Not me. Being coddled to the point that you struggle to be self sufficient is no way to grow up, IMO.

More the idea of never knowing a day of lack. I'd try it out and see what it is all about for a day or two.Knowing what some of Nate's college classmates are like, it is not shocking to me at all.

A lot of young people are inept when it comes to looking things up. They are used to being fed content by scrolling or tapping, not searching for information. My 94 year old grandmother does a better job than a lot of people in their teens or twenties.

So this means that Rasmus Sandin and Timothy Liljegren.....two of the future stalwarts of Toronto's Cup-Winning Defense..................are now elsewhere.

Shoulda got one game in
I can see it being more about style and fit than anything else. So yes, a body and yet also maybe more fit and the cap savings starting now.

I just can't imagine he'll play at this level for long. He's shown he can be a 1C who is great defensively. I'd be tempted to take a flyer on him. I know the cost and contract are spooky, but if he gets back to form- we have a top-10 C to pair with Tage as our other top-6 C option.

He certainly wouldn't be the first player to get crushed by the weight of self-imposed (and outside) expectations due to signing a new mega-deal.
He's too talented to not come around.......even if it takes him a full year.
