Good to see Crosby being Crosby out there. I guess practice was pretty chippy today, from the coaches.

If geno bolts for russia, then comes back and plays for another team (while saying he would play for another team) then jumps ship and plays for another half dozen teams, badmouths some former teams, sleeps with 18 year old women, all while gambling on a south american gaming website.... then yes.

I don't see the problem with banging 18 year old models...

Madden was talking about it today. Porter played exactly 41 regular season games for the team. Apparently it's automatic if a player plays half the season. There literally was no more room for anybody else so Sund, Pouliot and Bennett got left off.

I thought if you played in a play-off game your name went on the Cup. Guess I was mistaken.

Jagr's invisible in the playoffs. 13 playoff goals since he left the Penguins, 68 games. 1 goal in his last 39 playoff games.

He's the Barry Bonds of hockey.

I mean yes being mad for him not playing for us again when he came back is justified and that he badmouth former teams is bad (didn't know he did that ) but who cares if he sleeps with 18 year olds and gambles honestly...

You need to play in the final series to have your name automatically placed on the Cup.

In my experience as a teacher, teenagers who get involved with much older partners typically have deep emotional issues and experienced a dysfunctional childhood.

It's predatorial to take advantage of those kinds of kids.

I agree with the things you say especially since I am a teacher too (younger kids though so I luckly don't have those problems). But Jagr is like a god in his country so it probably has more to do with his status than the womens preference for age. what I mean with that is that I think they like him cuz he is a idol or something. not cuz he is a older guy

I can see that in America, but does that ring true in European countries?

If I had to guess it was probably up to the team. They probably felt Porter and Dupuis had more to do with their success than Sundqvist, Pouliot or Bennett. I'm no fan of Porter, but I think I agree with his inclusion over those other 3. Madden was saying he didn't believe Duper deserved his name on the cup.....saying it was a sentimental choice over contribution. That's probably true, but none of those young guys did very much either.

As a teacher Martox, do you have to speak English to the students (how old are we talking the kids are?)? If so what percentage of time is split between English & Swedish?

Well it's funny because she actually tried to blackmail him after taking the picture of him sleeping next to her saying that she was going to put it on social media. Little did she know he gave exactly 0 (frank)s and just posted the picture himself.

I'm not laughing. Most Swedish people know the English language better than those who have it as their first language. That is sad.

we hold the lessons in swedish. english lessons will be in full english at about 5th grade (in most schools). because of games and such the kids knows ALOT of english before they have even gone a single lesson of english though makes my work easier

True story. There's a Norwegian in my program and she speaks super eloquently. Americans, as a whole, suck when it comes to learning other languages. Europeans do not.
