Not every single player that represented and helped Canada win on the global stage was an angel or liked the Canucks but they showed up for their country, contributed their blood, sweat and tears and did it without compensation. For that they have my eternal respect. It's an honour to be picked....we really owe him nothing. I base how I feel about people on how they treat others, what they're like, etc. NOT on accomplishments in sports. You make it sound like he served in the army....he represented his country in a hockey tournament. It's an opportunity not a chore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying you have to respect the person but you have to respect the achievement. It maybe an honour to be chosen but also one for which these kids aren't compensated. They also have to hear the savage attacks from the media and fans if God forbid they make a mistake like Virtanen did or in the case of Comtois because he missed a penalty shot. I hear Ian Mitchell was crying after the game and apologized for letting down Canada. We have built these games to have immense, national level significance and the players go out and play like it and put their heart and soul into it. There is also little upside for those playing other than representing one's country. If you are playing for Team Canada then you likely already are a drafted player so in the majority of cases this isn't a case where a kid is trying to raise his stock. I am a bit of a sucker for going out there and doing something purely for the selfless love for one's country. I suppose in that manner it is similar to the military but of course, nothing close to the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoneypuckOverlord Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 FYI guys, the roxy is a known hangout for Canuck players and visiting road players. I had friends that saw naslund, bertuzzi, Cooke among players you can bump into at the roxy. That said I’m surprised a fat guy like him will still drop by the roxy of all places.

The writer made a mistake- it was actually stolen from Roxy Burger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I hope he never gets it back, and I try not wish negative things on other people but since this doesn't cause physical harm to him. F it. I hope he never sees it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
