I get not believing there's partying issues but if there is then of course they'd contribute to on ice performance.  |
Well, I'm not saying I just refuse to believe that partying lots and crappy play aren't connected. I just think that people can party and still perform well. Some people don't get hung over, especially in their early 20's, for example. And I feel like all NHL teams probably battle this problem because we are talking about giving 20 year old kids millions of dollars and a first class luxury lifestyle. I'm sure many teams have guys that go out and party so this wouldn't only be a Flames problem. Meaning any given night there's probably a few guys on both teams that partied the night before. That's why it's tough to know the relevancy I guess.
