I'm not sureI agree with this decision.
I totally understand his reasoning behind his previous decisions to not attend or participate.
This one not so much.
The last one was two fingeers up at the NHL. No probs there., Totally and absolutely justified. (imho) This one however, seems to be two fingers up at the fans.
Boo hoo hoo! He's becoming an old man!
Ah, come on!
Ovi got voted in, not just as a player, but as a CAPTAIN of the Met division for a reason The reason is that he has fANS all over your country and all over the world. People like me and many others.
People from other teams voted him in. AS CAPTAIN.
He is betraying all of us. Every hockey fan. Every ice hockey fan.
IF there is some genuine reason that he can't play.. an undisclosed injury or something, then fair enough, but otherwise....
This ain't about putting one to the NHL, this time, this year it's about the FANS. He needs to wind his neck in and remember who exactly pays his wages! His house, his cars..........
