I really do admire guys like Phil and Kirk, they don't look like the typical athlete but they are great at what they do, it inspires those of us who don't have a wealth of athletic ability and its fun to talk about because they do look like the average guy. I doubt there's anyone really disparaging Phil. Yes and no, I know some of it's tongue in cheek but it still rubs me the wrong way. But I've been on hockey media and forums long enough to know some folks just like bagging on guys. It's a bit different though because folks aren't bagging on his play so much as tapping into what's essentially a meme based on his appearance. That's how the internet goes but it's unfortunate. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E.g, if we signed him here, I'd want a hot dog emoji for him to show support of positive posts about him. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
