It is when you are under contract to a NHL team. Seriously, you don't see the problem there and Ho-Sang trying to stick it to his team?

Ho-Sang is no worse than Avery or Downie and how many opportunities did they get to be pieces of #### at the NHL level? Yet the moment a Ho-Sang or Aliu does shows signs they are essentially black balled.

Avery and Downie were #######s, but they were #######s that played their role on the team as instructed. They took the coach's direction and executed their jobs as asked. That is what got them to the show. That is what Ho-Sang refuses to do. He is un-coachable and has authority issues. This is on Ho-Sang.

You do know that when someone complains about the "race card" (which for the record is a pretty vile thing to call an argument for being treated like an equal), the problem is almost always the person complaining about he race card.

You're the one who played the race card. I have based my comments on Ho-Sang strictly on his attitude and refusal to play hockey as expected of him. You turned this into a race thing. It isn't a race thing, it is an attitude thing. Ho-Sang has been a problem child his whole life. Race has nothing to do with it. His ego is the problem.

"But one thing stands out. There’s a lone IceDog lagging behind, a slender kid in black sneakers, compression shorts and a grey sweatshirt, its hood pulled over his bulky headphones, his hands tucked into the sleeves like a chilly child’s at the skating rink. His effort level hovers somewhere slightly south of interested as he half-heartedly does his thing several steps behind the rest of the group. When the routine is through, his teammates file off to the dressing room to get ready for the game, but he stays on the concourse, walking around and fiddling with his phone while the Zamboni makes its rounds on the ice below. About an hour later, when the IceDogs spill out for their pre-game skate,
he’ll be the last one on the ice and the first one off of it, after stickhandling for a bit, taking a couple shots on an empty net and mostly ambling around.
The rest of the team stays out until the buzzer goes."
"His name is Josh Ho-Sang. Just 19 and widely regarded as one of the most naturally gifted players in the Ontario Hockey League, he might go down as one of the NHL Draft’s greatest steals, at 28th overall, where the New York Islanders selected him last year. He might be part of a dynamic, reinvigorated franchise that is moving to Brooklyn next season and building one of the NHL’s most feared cores of young players. He might be a truly special, unfathomably skilled talent for years to come. Or he might be a cautionary tale. He might end up squandering his exceptional talent,
as many coaches have warned him along the way, if he doesn’t conform and stop stubbornly doing things his way. He might be a spectacular disaster."
It's always been about attitude with this kid, and nothing has changed.
