It ' s the entire south side , pretty fun to be in the middle of <| sep |> to think there are people stupid enough to buy apple shit <| sep |> I ' m sorry , but . no . Perspective flash For every Alexander Daigle there are 100 , 000 players who bust their ass and just aren ' t quite good enough . You don ' t know Steve Bernier . You don ' t know his agent . You don ' t know his workout plan . You don ' t know what coaches have told him his deficiences are and you don ' t know what he ' s done to work on that . You don ' t know anything about him and slamming him , while pretending you know secrets about him , is a dick move . Most NHL players spend their entire life from age 5 practicing , working out , learning , attending camps , 6 am practices before school , hours shooting at an empty net . It is literally the only thing they know how to do . It ' s all they ' ve ever known . Players retire from the NHL at age 3240 and truly have no idea what to d o t o l i f e a f t e r h o c k e y i s a n a b r u p t r ealitycheckfornhlplayersc 778095 with their time . Players , especially fringe players like Steve Bernier , fight for every scrap of ice time they can get , every ounce of negotiating power for their next contract . It ' s lazy , disrespectful , and ignorant to say he doesn ' t want it enough .
