We never run out of excuses to explain this guy. Well for one I don't really know about when other players have had babies so I don't know if it affects them or not. The only players I follow are Flyers. Also I don't care to try to figure out if Ryan Getzlaf's dips in production throughout his career correlate with his children being babies. It is not unreasonable to think this could be part of the problem. This could be a contributing factor for a noticeable decline , not an excuse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always seems to come AFTER the first punch has been thrown. Why wasnt it worth it BEFORE the fight happened? And just once, I'd like to know when it is worth it First: I am not an fight recorder. I have pulled multiple people from the ocean that were in trouble, I have taken a couple of shots trying to protect a stranger who was getting a beating outside of a club. -Getting hit wasn't worth it. I have asked if women were okay when a man is raising his voice to them in public-more than once. However in the times when I have been eyewitness to crimes or beatings, and haven't helped it has been because I wasn't paying attention to the situation. In one instance I saw a guy running with maybe 5 boxes of sneakers in a mall, before it dawned on me that he was stealing those shoes... he was past the point where I could do anything. People do tend to just lead their lives and keep their heads down or they figure someone else will take care of it. https://www.nytimes.com/1964/03/27/archives/37-who-saw-murder-didnt-call-the-police-apathy-at-stabbing-of.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, I don't know about you, but I see several people trying to intervene. And whatever video evidence there is would likely help more than hinder prosecution. "Kyle" clearly has his beer muscles working overtime. Where the H-E-double-hockey-sticks is building security and WHY is this allowed to spill over into a bathroom? BOTH these guys should have been ejected from the arena and held for police. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the way he is playing right now is due to lack of sleep because of a baby, then he is clearly not the person to be in a leadership position. The flyers should find a way to part with him and make sure they no longer sign players with asparations of having a family 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
