Man, I'm tired of hearing about the 'weather' excuse. I don't doubt what Winters is saying, he has a pulse on the players and this has obviously been an 'issue' for a long time; but a) Calgary isn't THAT bad for weather (this isn't Yellowknife or Iqaluit for God's sake), and b) for a game where millionaires make their living playing on ICE for a living, it sure does seem ironic they complain about it being 'cold; and c) hockey players seem to start families at young ages quite regularly, so the family-first thing being a negative is also a weird viewpoint.
