I don’t really feel sorry for him tbh. One team has to win and one team has to lose. I’m sure it would have been even more heartbreaking for the Panthers to lose on their second straight trip to the finals and after being up 3 games to none.

You're the one saying Jordan at the same age hadn't won anything... completely ignoring the fact that he entered his league at 21 and not 18. Your "gotcha" attempt didn't work. Take the L.

RE bolded... that's not what I'm suggesting at all.
It absolutely worked because that is what I said, and it’s 100% stone cold fact. You simply forgot or didn’t know Jordan didn’t win until he was 28 and you looked dumb as hell with your comment. Your mental gymnastics desperately trying to save face don’t change that.

It’s unfortunate that him ripping into his teammates sounds like a temper tantrum.

Who would possibly be inspired by this embarrassing attempt at a pep talk?

Especially considering the player delivering it never gives 110%.

Leaf fans have no business commenting negatively in this thread with our ex Captain and his personality of stone. Love to see the thunder in the Oilers Captain, any Captain for that matter.

I don't feel sorry for him, but I do believe he deserves to win one at some point. Someone with that much talent shouldn't have to have their storied career marred by that asterisk. I'm not even an Edmonton fan in any way. Some people just wanna hate for the sake of hating.

That's what it sounded like to me as well. It felt like temper tantrum that everyone in the locker room has heard too many times and just tune it out.

Meh doesnt seem like he really has the rooms attention. Drop some F bombs to sound angry isnt enough.

And im sure he lost his voice, but again, doesnt "sound" like someone you take seriously or who speaks up often.

I think most of us know there is a difference between a frustration laden post loss rant and an inspirational pre game prep talk.

Feels like some are confusing the two.

There are alot of posters in this thread who don't have a competitive bone in their body and it shows.

"I don't like the curse words" lol
