Ever heard of Mario Lemieux? "My offseason training? On August 1st I stop ordering fries with my club sandwich."

https://www.nytimes.com/1984/10/22/s...nd-number.html

"''It's better that way,'' said Lemieux. ''I won't have to worry about laundry and cooking. Just hockey.''

His dietary staple, to the chagrin of those who surround him, is junk food.

''Hamburgers, french fries, pizza,'' said Lemieux, dipping the chicken wings in extra hot sauce. ''Not junk food. Fast food.''


At the end of the day the only thing that matters are results. Johnny really hasnt been showing positive results, hence the criticism. As others pointed out, Laine has instead showed improvement. If Johnny was still playing at 99 point pace no one would ever talk about skittles.




Moving on to worthwhile discussion, Stauffer (Lol) now claiming on the radio that Ekblad is definitely available. I am still v interested.
