I hate Mark Jankowski? News to me. Quote me. You can find quotes of me saying I disagreed with the decision making surrounding the pick but I also said I have no issue with the player and hope for the best for him. Let's not go down that road anyways.
Reading the article just confirmed what I thought. Seems like a respectable guy who cares a lot about his family. Made a difficult decision that was in his best interests and his families best interests. Was a decision that clearly him and Steve Y had talked about multiple times before the Olympic situation. Everyone reaches boiling points in life or gets fed up or frustrated. Normal human emotions. I think he could have handled the Olympic situation a bit differently but I see no reason to act like that somehow makes him some terrible person. Amazing hockey player.
