I agree, let's not worship athletes. But pretty sure Daddy didn't buy an NHL career.

The interest in athlete's private lives is bizarre to me. If you don't think athletes should be worshipped, why get worked about their life outside of hockey? Seems contradictory to me.

I had a chuckle at that.

Daddy bought him an NHL career, good one bud.

TIL I could've had an NHL career if only my parents shelled out 30-40K a year.

Haha yeah that's something else I always got a kick out of with him, he has such an expressive face. I think it might be the Gaudreau late tying goal in that same game, but there was a hilarious one of him from those playoffs being SUPER fired up on the bench over it.
