Miikka - regardless of what he has made working here - has (apparently) a newborn child who has difficulties, and a wife who had some as well.
Well, Vlad, welcome to the real world: family comes first and it doesn't matter what you do or how rich you are. Real life comes long before money. Or obligation.
Now - reboot yourself and start seeing players as "human beings" first, and as NHL players second.

This ^ is my issue- we never know what is going on with these players. I always see them as people- kids who were babies and grew up playing hockey, dreaming of being in the N. Kipper's address to the press made me tear up far more than any other good-bye. The sincerity in his voice and motions about where his heart lies overwhelmed me. That was very hard for him, and I respect him all the more for doing it. I adore Kipper. I would have loved him as a Leaf, but I love him all the more as a Flame.
