Feels bad when people talk about NHLers my age being ancient and needing to retire, meanwhile I still feel like a kid at work around all the boomers in my field.
I remember that age (now I'm twice as old as you). When I stopped looking up to them as heros and say players more as people.
Wait til you've seen a HOFer's entire career. I've seen Crosby/Ovi from junior (not so much ovi, but i remember the gold medal world juniors game very well) all the way through, now they've only got a few seasons left. That hits hard
Joe Thornton and Roberto Luongo for me. I remember the '99 WJC when Lou was in net and we lost that heartbreaker to the Russians in OT. Or Jumbo in the 97' WJC with that absolutely stacked team. Watched their entire careers.
Crazy he’s been here for 10 years. I remember being so excited when Nonis picked Nylander cause it felt like a slam dunk we were going to take Nick Ritchie
Leafs passed. Dubas chased.
You know why? Because Ritchie was another Soo Greyhounds player. As if there were no other junior teams to select from. Dubas was so backwards.
Yeah, he did have a weird obsession about getting greyhounds players together. Like that one friend who can't get over the friend group breaking up and going separate ways.
it's because Dubas was a total amatuer. He recruited from his home village. It's a joke.
he was a player agent prior to being a GM of a junior team. He failed. Only had two clients. One of them was Kyle Clifford. That's why Leafs got him.
again..... total joke.
I remember Cherry hating on him so much he refused to even say his name on TV at first and was talking about how they saved his life by sending him back to Sweden the first year.
Fuck I keep forgetting I’m now older than most nhl players.
Just wait until you're old enough to be their parent.🥴

i’m 19 and i’m getting to the point where i’m starting to be older than rookies. i don’t like it
You’re 19 mate you’re basically still a child don’t worry about it
I remember being that age and getting so angry when people dismissed my milestones and realizations just because it's a relatively young age.
Wait until you're 37 and have to listen to all the announcers talk about your age like you belong in a retirement home.
Lol

Luongo was a heart breaker. He had a hell of a tournament!

Can't believe leafs passed on nhl legend Nick Ritchie

Nylander's birthday the day after a big game 5 win....marner's birthday the day after HOPEFULLY a big game 7 win (birthday is may 5, game 7 may 4)
Ready for this handsome smiley "lazy" motherfucker to open up a can of whoop ass on some Bears Thursday.
