Hockey Players are Different

This was published yesterday but we only just came across it today. From Adam Burish, winger for the Chicago Blackhawks, in his Chicago Sun-Times blog Dropping the Gloves:
You will not see a hockey player call his own press conference in his front yard with his shirt off, doing sit-ups, and saying how great he is. You will not see a hockey player tell the media how stupid practice is, and how stupid his coach is for not starting him. And you will not see a hockey player bring a gun into a club and accidentally shoot himself.
I know some people will say, ‘well what about Sean Avery.’ Sean Avery recently said he doesn’t understand why other players in the league seem to take his “sloppy seconds,” in reference to another hockey player who is dating his ex-girlfriend. Stupid, I know, but is that the worst thing you’ve heard an athlete say? I don’t think so. In no other sport will you see a team hand out the type of punishment Sean Avery received for it.

Good on ya, mate. Excellent posting saying the same kind of thing I was talking about when I wrote a lengthy little ditty about Ray Emery when I was attempting to be a fledgling blogger. But nobody really paid attention to it so I just starting posting comments to real bloggers on here.
Nice find Alanah...bet you’re pretty happy now that Lu is getting closer to returning. Maybe he and “Moses” Mats Sundin will get you back to the top of the Northwest!
