Where's the "black eye"? He's giving parents good solid advice... Did you read the article?

Well it is more of a black eye for hockey parents then it is for minor hockey but the two go hand in hand anytime there is a controversy. He just seems to be another mouthpiece "celebrity" dumping on parents. For him to say what is right and what is wrong has no mre value then if I said it. If a kid dreams of playing in the NHL and his parents are going to do everything they can(within reason) to make that happen good for them. Parents have to look out for what is best for their kid because no one else looks out for them.
He was also the first to criticize the coaching of USA hockey after they lossed in the 2006 Olympics as his wife was cut from the team earlier in the year (thanks wikipedia).
