Why should he have to? I know I wouldn't leave my kids.

He's already left his kid...he's making these statements about not being able to fly...as he's flying around Russia while his kid is in Slovakia. I get that it's different distances, but he's not even traveling with the KHL team to play out of an obligation or something like that...he's not allowed to play...he's just going along on the trip to hang around and practice for the next week. This is not like the Isles are tearing him away from the bedside. I'm sure I'd be a lot more sympathetic if this was the only roadblock the guy had tried to throw up to avoid coming here, but all together, it sounds like the end of the last Pirates of the Caribbean movie (yeah, I watched it) when Penelope Cruz doesn't want to get stranded on the island and fires off a rapid succession of excuses on why she can't be left there...each sounding more serious than the last. You could drive Lubo's race car through the holes in all his stories if he didn't smash it up.

Maybe he doesn't want to report to the Isles... for at least 2 weeks. The truth is somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic.. I am sure of it.

Hey I think he's stalling as long as he can to come somewhere he doesn't want to... That's fine, but I don't doubt for a second his kid has a cold & that's enough for me.

I didn't know that the Isles signed the kid as well. I thought LV was the only one.

All of the other players have no problem with it. All players have to leave there kids and wife at home, they are not allowed to travel with the team.

Guess we are not going to agree on this buddy. He should be here, he ahs a contract, all of the sick family members that all of the other players have, are not happy they left to play hockey either.

Just an excuse.

He will be here... the team is fine with it

but they leave them (their family) to go play hockey on the same continent.. They aren't trying to make their sick kids travel over seas...

you would think by now okposo would have more then 1 move when he drives the net. I figured by now he would have 4 or 5 moves that don't work :no:
