I’m the opinion that a more extroverted, “one of the guys” type player could have posted identical stats, with identical hot and cold streaks, and would not have gotten anywhere the grief. It’s a fact of life that the good communicators are more often given the “benefit of the doubt” and appreciated more than those who aren’t.

He was upset with Hamrlik and Neuvirth with comments they made during lockout and even remarked it would be hard to play with them.

I mean the caps could have lost and you wouldn’t be saying that now. Good strategy and good play makes a team win. You could say that he “motivated” his team but I don’t see how it was so impossible for him to do that without talking about Sasha on the media. To me he motivated the Hurricanes and put pressure to the Caps. Did that pressure work? Yes, because they won but that doesn’t mean it could have back fire to the Caps.

BTW people here are “give the C to Brooks” just because of his motivational speeches but has that helped the team to win the cup? No, and I don’t think Brouwer talking about ex-teammates is going to help either.

It wouldn’t surprise me if they were and it would never be announced, but curious how it gets attributed to Tripp. I just wonder if something else was said and perhaps misinterpreted or a leap was taken. Heck, if they get married, we’ll probably only know after the fact and a child has been born! Thanks again.

He didn´t understand that Tracy talked about his 200th goal in his career.

I asked Tripp Tracy about it. He eventually got back to me and said they did not say that on the air last night. So that’s unconfirmed at this point. I have no idea.

I saw something on Twitter, I think originally from Ian (?) about Semin getting engaged. Anyone else hear that? Is it accurate?
