That was a good read. Makes me wonder if Gio had a similar experience.

A shame Whitney had to play for the Oilers. He's always been one of the NHL's funny men. Probably my favourite PT article so far!

Great read. Again. I can't recall a single bad article from Payer's Tribune so far.

P.S. Truly hope TSN is not thinking of buying them out...

Ditto, and I hadn't read the Kuznetsov one right after. Also, a great read and a fitting combination of stories.

I thought it was a fuel dump myself, but people that know more about things like that can feel free to correct me

I would agree. The only on I didn't find very good was the Trottier one. Only time I had a hard time finishing an article.
