Awesome article but I would expect nothing less from Mike Bossy...the ultimate gentleman on and off the ice.
I particularly liked the part where he said that your coach will not want to talk to you and when he does, he will tell you not to worry about defense...you were brought here to score goals.
That is what I would like to hear about Gaudreau. While I don't want to see any player always be defensively poor, I also hate the nit picking when he perhaps makes a back pass that gets intercepted. That is going to happen more often with talented offensive players and in the long run, you get a lot more with offense from them than defense.
Same thing with Iginla...all the nit picking about him as a player for the last 5 years or so...that he just cherry picks.
Look at the whole picture. Al Arbor did.
