Let’s be honest. You didn’t know who this player was before yesterday. It doesn’t even sound like you do today outside of his name, age, and position. That’s fair, because I’d bet few of us did.
So, who did? Vegas knew. Calgary knew.
Most people, when faced with an opinion based on a complete lack of knowledge, are happy to listen what those more in the know than they are have to say about it and adjust their opinion accordingly. That includes Calgary, other players/coaches/trainers/etc, media guys, and so on.
There’s nothing admirable about sticking your head in the sand and claiming everyone who disagrees with you, given the complete lack of substance your opinion is based on, is either carrying water for the Flames or whatever. It makes you look stubborn at best and stupid at worst. There’s nothing interesting or worthy of praise for forming an “opinion on your own” when people who know more than you do are suggesting the opinion isn’t a very good once. Like, good for you? You formed an opinion? Toddlers have opinions, should we clap because you came up with one, too?
