Players tribune: Winnipeg is good

[Press Level]

Fake news.

Good article. He's not wrong. We all like to make fun of places like Edmonton and Winnipeg. But Paul Maurice was absolutely right when he said it's a privilege to play in the NHL, to travel around to all these cities and live the life they do. No one should be complaining about...anything when it comes to the NHL travel life.

I remember reading Johnny's and thinking "that doesn't sound like him one tiny bit".

I get the goose pimples too Patrik. It's why in most places my online moniker is White Out. It's a great home town tradition.

It's funny you say that because there was a scene in 24/7 where he was packing for a road trip and grinned at the camera as he packed his PS3.

The MTS Centre really is a great building to catch a game. Those fans are into it. I've been lucky to see a few games there now. Actually, I'll be there next week to see Laine take on Ovi. Should be a helluva game.

Ha, way to take the fun out of it. I mean, we all knew that's probably what happens but better not to post quotes from actual contributing players saying they're not involved in the writing at all.

EDIT: I'm referring to the tweeter not you missteeks.

Well the article reads exactly like someone being interviewed, so hardly a surprise it's how it was done.

Well after the author took out the “uhh” from between every third word, of course it didn’t sound like Johnny!
