Come on now, Tkachuk could have played it about 50 different ways worse than how it actually went down. We ended up getting a haul despite not having much, if any, leverage.
Florida can be a pretty wild place. I would not choose to live in a US city like that, even if it meant making 20% more. I would never choose to live in a place where you need to carry a gun and/or live in a gated community for your own security. Or a place where huge parts of the population do not have access to adequate health care, education or even food. Call me a socialist, but if you're sick, you should be able to see a doctor, regardless of whether you are poor or rich.
