from Adam Proteau of The Hockey News,
The guy never has had the red carpet of life rolled out for him. For virtually his entire hockey career, he’s been dissed, dismissed, doubted and degraded. Even the person who engraved his name on the Stanley Cup engraved his surname as ‘Lagace’.
But like the famous movie producer Robert Evans, the kid has found a way to stay in the picture.
“You get used to it,” Legace told THN.com. “It’s been that way my whole life. ‘He’s too fat, he’s too small, he’s too this or that.’ So you get used to having to prove yourself every day. And that’s fine with me; that’s made me a better person and a better goalie.”

sniff, sniff...it makes me think of that old Barry Manilow song (not that there are any new Barry Manilow songs to think of) that goes…
“I’m ready to take a chance again
Ready to put my love on the line
With you...”
Then later…
“You get what you get when you go for it.”
Man, they just don’t make ‘em like that any more! (I think it was from the Chevy Chase/Goldie Hawn classic, Foul Play.)
In all seriousness, best wishes to Manny on staging a comeback—as long as it isn’t in Detroit.

“I feel like going home and hanging myself,” Legace responded. “It’s hard to take.”
