Why do people like you, Jay Random, and others post stuff like this? Why go to this well?
Mike is where he is because of who he is and the talent and insight into the game he has. He doesn’t need randoms on a message board who never accomplished anything in the field to tell him how to do his job. He’s not a kid who needs to calm down, he’s a professional doing a job you’re unqualified for and spending his free time chatting here. There’s nothing remotely unprofessional about his takes, and even if there was, this is his free time and you’re less equipped to evaluate what a “professional” hockey take looks like than he is. You don’t have to agree with anything he says or treat his opinions any different than anyone else is, but you should at least give him the minimum amount of respect he’s earned (and he’s earned it).
Mike has chosen to make who he is and what he does public knowledge. It’s a shame some of you use it to belittle him. And the defamation stuff is just incredibly dumb. You guys are 2-4 times his age (and he’s still accomplished more in hockey than you). But you don’t act it. I love a bit of agitating myself, but you guys need to calm down on the personal stuff and acting like you’re his career coach. It’s embarrassing.
