I bet ya it (frank)in isn't.

He is not contractually obligated to listen to team doctors. He's contractually obligated to either accept their information or prove that his method is better, or not play at all. His "antics" center around wanting the correct surgery for his whole life.

Sorry, I'm irritated at the blatant insensitivity.

the right story teller can change the world. Hopefully Rick helped change the hockey world.

was super impressed with how he handled the interview...that and as a candian he had that soft-spoken disposition to properly conduct a very sensitive interview...

couldn't see howard cossell doing an interview like that...

"This is howard cossell with kyle beach...beachy, just what was it like in the psychological mayhem of majestic proportions when brad aldrich was parading the stanley cup around in epic executive elation?"

Don't apologize if you mean it.



Yeah I think it sucks for Jack as a person to not be able to get treatment. I 100% believe he signed away his right to make that decision for himself

rochester was also a bad team last year


usually goalies on bad teams have bad numbers



look at the dip in hasek's numbers in 95-96

While true, there's analytics that provide goals saved above expectation. Dustin Tokarski, on a supposedly "bad" team, is at 2.3. That makes him 12th in the league. Carter Hutton is at -10.1, MAF is at -9.1 and Darcy Kuemper is at -3.3. That's good for last, second last and fourth last in the league. Darcy Kuemper is on a very good team.

I haven't looked at UPL but I bet it's in Hutton range.

Very creative writing. Do you write for a living or is it a hobby?

I mean on a scale of 1-sh1t it's like a 2. It's irresponsible and definitely a dui but in the grand scheme of life it's not a massive deal. it could have been, but it wasn't.

I am not defending his actions.

- TheSabresTaco

It kinda is when you have aspirations of being captain of a franchise you just signed the largest contract they’ve ever given out.

He was a phony

Excellent breakdown of what constitutes quality defense that many don't look for or see, including several video clips.

As far as captain material, it's definitely a bad look. I hated him before he came to this team and I hated him at that point too.

apparently brett favre wasn't making enough from his copper fit commercials and he got caught up in a welfare fraud scheme:

https://www.msn.com/en-us.../ar-AAQ3S1n?ocid=msedgntp


"According to a May 2020 audit, the state of Mississippi allowed millions of dollars in anti-poverty funds to be used for football tickets, religious concerts, lobbyists and fitness programs for state lawmakers. Favre was paid by the state's nonprofit Community Education Center for speaking appearances he never made."
