And that's without thinking much, The reality is that the NFL has more than twice as many players at any given time, and overall goes thorugh 3 or 4 times as many players as the turnover is so high in pro ball. So when you factor in the difference scope and the difference in demographics the NHL is far from lilly white.
Haha ya I actually paused before I wrote it, as I knew I'd get some names thrown back at me(Dan Kordic and Theo Fleury being others). I'm not tryin to slag the league or anything, as like I mentioned before, its my bread & butter. I just meant there seems to be a different type of attitude in your average NHL player than you find in NFL, NBA, MLB, etc. Which is why I mentioned how even Jim Rome was saying he notices a considerable difference when he interviews an NHL'er compared to the other sports.
