You know his story with Burrows, right?
- lumlums

No clue

Yeah I get the AB thing, but he just sounded like someone wanting his 15min of fame. He took advantage of the game on Sat and the hype. Whats sad is he he's paid for his opinion.
- Kaynine

If you get a chance I recommend his book. It's not easy reading, but it definitely explains a lot. That said, he needs to figure out a way to be more professional now that he's entered the media, otherwise the gig will be much shorter than he anticipated...

the tl;dr version is that Pat was physically abused by his father as a kid - Burr used this against him and would chirp that he was going to "smack him around just like his father did" whenever they played...

Guddy's an interesting player, thing's you like, some not so much. The analytical guys hate him. He brings things to the table the team lacks. Jury's still out.

Good summary. So what do you do about his contract being up? Lock him up long term. Or string out a shorty and risk losing to UFA?

When the article came out in the players tribune and he mentioned Burrows comments, Burrows supposedly apologized. Burrows wasn't much of a class act back then.

Wasn't the first time a player said things maybe they shouldn't ...won't be the last

Yeah I saw that. I assume for PO'S that was probably too little too late; at least that's what I'm assuming from his comments afterwards.

If you get the chance, give his book the a read. It's not easy material, but it's one that should be told.

It does say for how mentally tough he must be. It's not easy to make it as a pro but to have that kind of pressure and abuse at such an early age....

Oh yeah i heard that
- Redmile247

Yeah. Essentially years of abuse gave PO'S PTSD (and a whole host of other issues to deal with). I'd have to imagine that it's difficult to forgive anyone who brings those memories back.

True

For sure, though of course repressing that kind of abuse could cause just as many problems as the abuse itself did. I don't like him as an analyst, but I applaud that he's taking time and effort to talk about what happened and to bring awareness to the issue.

I think the nonesense is never ending in here

Is that why you come? To add to it when do the Flames play the Canucks again

Hopefully Red and white - Brother Lums will be on the continent and so I'm getting him tickets to come with me to the Canada vs Switzerland world juniors warm-up game

Don't see any blue in that. Those colors are all the same team... plus the Flames. Way to pick a side. Explains your Canuck HB thread tour all the better

I'm a born and raised Englishman/Manchester United fan, so everything I had as a kid was white and red or red and white... Moving to Canada and becoming a Leafs fan and having to wear the same colours as Chelsea and Manchester City took some getting used to

- Redmile247

Pffft. That's red and black.

Plus white isn't even a bloody colour anyway...

Sbisa put that puck to an open area. It was the only spot to go with it cause the wall was closed off. I actually blame Markstrom more because he knew where Hall was, he should have been yelling to PL before the puck went to him.
- Kaynine

He did yell at PL. Its been stated by many.

So if you are not a kid anymore and you are used to the blue now; so, what kind of answer is that for game day

If you're in the PNW now might as well join Redmile and go back to the red and white. HB Flame's thread needs you.
