Joshua Ho-Sang, Center/Right-wing, 1st Round

[rockhouse15]

That would certainly be a step in the right direction, but that statistic would definitely have it's flaws because Corsi measures your team's possession while you're on the ice, not how many times you individually have the puck. What would be really cool is if we had data for every time a player touched a puck and then things like how that possession ended (e.g; shot, pass, turnover) and how long the possession was.

But even that would require context into each play. If Ho-Sang carried the puck all the way up the ice made two moves and passed it back door only for his teammate to whiff and lose the puck I wouldn't be mad. If he held the puck for the same amount of time and missed 2 wide open guys because he was busy deking d-men I would be upset. Both plays would be registered the same but have such different interpretations.

What an immature loser!!!

Doesn't he know he's a 19 year old 1st round hot shot hockey star. He's supposed to be getting drunk in the summer and nailing college chicks 2 at a time.

What the hell is this idiot doing sacrificing his time in the summer, traveling to another country, and helping out poor kids and families build new schools?

I definatley see where he gets portrayed as being a selfish individual.
Kudos to hockey Canada for seeing what everyone else can't see and keeping this cancer away from thier golden boys.

Although they may be slacking because they did invite this knucklehead to their team canada camp.

Future Evander Kane! He'll never be a 200' player and team leader like Ryan O'Reilly.

Doesn't he know hockey players are supposed to spend their summer's making calls from their phones made of stacks of $100 bills and at Tim Horton's drive throughs? Another perfect example why he will never be an NHL player.

I hope Tavares throws his track jacket in the shower when he gets back. Classless.

 

[seafoam]

Absolutely classless.

I'm tired of this organization drafting selfish. rich kids, with egos bigger than a Tim Horton's drive thru window.

Don't tarnish the good name of a terrible American beer. If it wasn't a case of Molson then I don't know what it is real anymore

Who needs a drive-thru window when you can drive through a window?

Not to rain on everybody's parade, but the fact that Ho-Sang did charity work this summer doesn't mean a whole lot on his attitude toward the game, his team, etc.


As a college professor, I've had lots of kids in my classes who had quite a bit of growing up to do - but still did nice things like Habitat for Humanity.


Not that I have concerns about Ho-Sang's attitude, I just don't think that "feel good" stories like this tell us anything about he player.

Did Kvasha piss in your cornflakes this morning Darth?

Go easy on Darth - he still thinks Duchene and Hall = Tavares.

And the Kane who is taking summer classes at Darths college showed up late all week.

I don't know, RoR strikes me as the perfect crossbreed of part hipster dufus and part cheap drunk, who just might enjoy his watery PBR. Although he could have splurged for Molson Ice, since he was celebrating his new contract.

This is my problem with Ho Sang. First he is sitting on his teammates LAP at the prospects game. This player must have been so embarrassed that he may never play hockey again out of FEAR. He goes to play a game of hockey and this piece of **** sits on his lap. He celebrates when he scores. What's next? He thinks it is ok to just "have fun" while playing hockey?

No no no no no no no.. I'll tell you what is acceptable. Him quitting hockey.

Lap? Celebrating? You know where this ******* belongs? Brooklyn. He would never be able to act like this at the wonderful Nassau Coliseum that supported fantastic players such as Jon Sim and Oleg Kvasha.

I know I personally won't be satisfied until he's deported back to Canada and refused entry into the United States ever again for having such a bad attitude. Write your local politicians now! Our own Kate Murray is already championing this cause!

If one of your chapters is not titled "The History of the 6'6" Russian Enigma" I will be somewhere from mildly to fairly disappointed.
