NHLers reveal which movies made them cry

Athletes are notoriously tough and some say hockey players are the toughest of all. For those who think otherwise, here is some evidence to support your claim: Kevin Bieksa cried watching the movie Draft Day, starring Kevin Costner.

Theres no shame in crying, but the reactions of some players to a simple question and some of the staunch denials that there has ever been a film which has made them cry makes for some good comedy, intentional or otherwise:

We dont believe you, Claude Giroux. No matter how tough the Philadelphia Flyers captain may be, even teammate Wayne Simmonds admitted he shed a few tears during The Notebook.

Full points go to Nathan MacKinnon and Seth Jones, two of the NHLs brightest young stars, for going all out with their answers, though. Were glad to see two of the top-five draft picks in 2013 get on the same page when it comes to Marley & Me, but were not so sure about The Vow. It appears Jones likes to keep up with his soap opera movies, as Tyler Seguin would say.

The best reaction in the whole video goes to Justin Faulk, though. The Carolina Hurricanes defenseman hardly had to wait a beat before spitting out that Hardball, which stars Keanu Reaves, made him shed a few tears, including the revelation that, that ones not fun.

Yet another in the NHL Puck Personality video series, these videos continue to be great for a laugh and a look into the lives of some of the leagues talents. Now, if only we could find a movie that would make Giroux weep.

I haven't actually seen "Draft Day", and while it wasn't supposed to have been a good film, it wasn't listed as being all that bad...

That being said, this scene always gets me a bit misty: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HM-E2H1ChJM

you could be making 5M+ in the MLB cleaning toilet bowls, with the amount those players get paid o:

In America, you get food to eat

Won't have to run through the jungle and scuff up your feet

You just sing about Jesus, drink wine all day

It's great to be an American

Ain't no lions or tigers, ain't no mamba snake

Just the sweet watermelon and the buckwheat cake

Everybody is as happy as a man can be

Climb aboard little wog, sail away with me

Sail away, sail away

We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay

Sail away, sail away

We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay

In America, every man is free

To take care of his home and his family

You'll be as happy as a monkey in a monkey tree

You all gonna be an American

Sail away, sail away

We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay

Sail away, sail away

We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay

Songwriters

WOLSTENHOLME, STUART

You find as you get older you get whimpier when it comes to this sort of thing.

When I was younger only a super powerful movie could get me like Schindler's List or ...... Lion King (shaddup)

But now? hell a car commercial where a father reunites with his kid could do me in...

I've found this to be true for quite a few people I know. However, for me, it is the exact opposite.

While I'm very much in touch with my feelings (and others), I was far more emotional when I was younger. Then, in 2008, when I 26, a significant family event happened which really hardened my heart. Since then, I'm still very much empathetic and helpful towards others; however, when it comes to my own feelings, I've turned into the stereotypical guy who doesn't cry.
