Eric sounds like an honest guy.. great interview
For years this has been missing…. lifting and putting on muscle. In a single off-season a player can add 15 lbs of muscle if they work hard. Couturier has NEVER worked out, to his detriment and the teams. He's become injury prone largely because of his inability to absorb the hits. He never blossomed imo. Drysdale, im very impressed. Keep it up, add 10 more. Why the team doesnt mandate lifting Ill never understand. Hockey is behind the other team sports this way.
Coots was not the last one. An elite star known as Nolan Patrick also did it.
ESPN should have brought back Gary Thorne. Having Sean McDonough as their top PxP guy is ridiculous. He is great doing football and baseball, but when it comes to Hockey he’s horrible. A majority of the time he sounds like he’d rather be anywhere else other than at the game he’s calling.
