From the Pittsburgh Tribune Review’s Rob Rossi:
Defenseman Ryan Whitney, admittedly “pretty ticked off” upon hearing Dec. 30 from Team USA general manager Brian Burke that he was not on the initial Olympic roster, channeled his anger into inspiration instead of taking it as a crushing blow.
“I have a totally different perspective of how to handle things,” Whitney said Monday of the refined approach he adopted after last season, which he opened on the sidelines with a surgically repaired foot, included successful surgery on his mother to remove a brain tumor, and ended playing for the Anaheim Ducks after the Penguins traded him as part of a package for winger Chris Kunitz last February.
“It really is just a game ... and it’s a business, but none of it is personal. There is real life to deal with.”
