OK, so I love Hossa. He's one of my favorite players. However, I hate that he is on the Penguins...and that he may not be in October.
Regardless, my question, and issue is with rental players.
Gone are the days where a team was truly a team. Guys knew each other inside and out...not only would they battle together for an entire season, but often season after season together.
I remember (in the 70s) how insulted we (Boston fans) would get when a guy went to another team. Those days are gone too, eh?
So, although I am happy for my boy Marian, I am somewhat pissed that teams can pad their rosters just a month before playoffs begin. I know this isn't new- but I was reminded of the reality yesterday when the Penguins slapped the Flyers.
Thoughts? I also wonder- how is it that a player (Hossa) can truly celebrate a Cup with people he just met ?
