Or perhaps that is a reason to retire his number. Did he make mistakes, yip. Did he face "challenges", yip. In the stuff I have seen of #14 now, he is contrite abour his actions while playing. He is a talent, there is no doubt. I stayed in Calgary and played though some very dark times......
Playing on those teams would have made me turn to drugs and alcohol, nevermind having to deal with 3-4 years of buggery........
