"Except that Hossa did exactly what...Awesome.<br /><br />"Except that Hossa did exactly what we hope all of our sports heroes will do. He was playing to win, regardless of the money. In a league like the NHL where your career can be ended with a errant puck or unfortunate, crippling check, Hossa risked his career for a team that he thought would win it all. How many times do athletes leave behind heaploads of cash, this early in their career, for a chance to win it all? Hossa, for all intents and purposes--his one, "The Wings have a better chance of winning than the Penguins" comment aside--is a stand-up guy. His only crime, really, was leaving a team just before their collective peak for a team that was already there. It was a bad move in retrospect."<br /><br />I too sympathize<br /><br />-Dave BAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
