I mean gosh darn it, some of us might be poorer than they are, or older, or less accomplished, or uglier, or even less educated, or heck, all of the above! But we're more professional than they are. We handle our business, like professional men do. And, at the end of the day, that's all that matters.
At least... I... well... maybe not all that matters, but it probably counts for something! Yeah. Being more professional: when nothing else is going your way, at least it counts for something.

Look, I know you're making a joke, but professionalism does matter. People remember how you handle things, and opportunities are extended to those who handle things professionally far more often than those who do not.
The Flames organization often looks for "character" in their players. Professionalisms is a key aspect of that character. It's in short supply these days.
