a hockey player who's a boozebag? Who'da thought? The kid will clean up, he's got too much talent to piss it away - hopefully anyways. I said it last time this kid's name came up - We may just have another Dan Cleary on our hands. The only difference is that Cleary was Canadian, and, more specifically, a Newfie, so he had an excuse, hahahahahahaha

I understand he's got talent so I'm assuming the Canucks will give him a tryout . . . . . . if he can step over all the bad publicity about his incidents . . .then it's all gravy from there
