A human ridiculing another human for having emotions and being sentimental is hypocrisy at its finest.
Kind of grade school behavior.
Most people would love to be a part of a group that they value so much that leaving would affect them to that degree.
Pelletier wearing his heart on his sleeve probably experiences a level of freedom of expression that men who bottle their emotions up and avoid them even though they exist to the same degree seldom experience. Secretly they wish they could, but because they feel like they can't, they talk #### about people who display their emotions openly.

Sure, it may also show a lack of self control and discipline. There are times for emotion and times to set emotion aside. Maturity.

This is a fallacy perpetuated by a culture of negative male archetypes. Emotions are there and should be expressed freely. They should also be celebrated. The only reason people don’t express them is because of that fallacy. Which is unhealthy and holds people back from truly experiencing the world and everything is has available.

Indeed.
Being told you're uprooting your life to the other side of the continent and leaving your friends and colleagues behind seems to qualify as one of those times.

Okay, each team has their own board. The Flames need to value Cs higher on their board.
Good?
I don’t really agree. They still got to take BPA rather than forcing a pick for position. If they have a tossup then they should go centre but it shouldn’t start with having to draft one.
Well thats just not true.....each team has its own.
There is no concensus board, agreed.
Haha. Do you remember about 10 years ago? I finally get you back, but you change your stance. You have seen the light !
PS, I’m just kidding, I enjoy your posts and knowledge

Again, if you only do toss ups, you'll never get a C, because other teams are prioritizing them.
There is a reason that the Flames have been deficient at C since the 80s: they don't prioritize them as much as other teams.

Man, no wonder men have such a high prevalence of mental health issues. It’s okay to feel things.
Life's too short to put up the tough guy front into middle age. Who do you need to impress with that into your 30s, 40s, 50s...
Men like women have limbic brain structures that create knee jerk emotional responses to things and situations before our analytical brain even sorts it out.
Pretending you're not susceptible to the brain anatomy you were born with and that others shouldn't be seems delusional.
Emotional regulation has its value, but another part of maturing is getting more in touch with who you really are and what's important and not being ashamed of it. That means shedding the tough school yard attitude you probably adopted in childhood to be accepted and safe and recognizing there's no longer a use for it in adulthood.
Expressing yourself to loved ones and being open when it feels appropriate is usually what creates the most meaningful moments in life.
Guys who keep their walls up and bury themselves in work or vices in order to suppress their feelings will have the deepest regrets at the end of their life.
Chances are they probably push most people away in the process of being stone cold because people can't connect with them on anything vulnerable or real. Being "more of a man" comes with no tangible rewards at the end of the line outside of living up to an arbitrary archetype that stopped serving them decades ago.

Hathaway at Flyers practice today talks about how much Farabee and Frost are missed and how the majority of the team actually watched both Flames games with them in our lineup

Why can’t he have an emotional reaction to this? It’s not like he was in the locker room throwing a tantrum and breaking things.
He was sad about leaving. Can’t he be sad about leaving and also be mature and handle it professionally?
It’s called emotional maturity when you realize that two things can be true at once. (or even more than two)
Not saying he can't. Just saying I wouldn't consider it a sign of strength or maturity to have an emotional outburst for most people in most situations. I can't really make that call for someone like Pelletier who's in a situation I cannot fathom realistically. So I guess , who cares?

You can’t fathom a sad situation?
