Ok guys i made it safely back home, and i have a ton of videos that i will go through much later, BUT i needed to post this one, cause it was a Moment ^_^
more bad news today and i feel as if i have been squashed and ground into the dirt until i no longer exist, so sorry if im not up for blogging during tonight's game
The way this makes it sound and the reaction of the comments is so silly. Like as much as i hate certain wingers in the n*h*l we know geno respects the guy's skill and wouldn't consider 'winger' a demotion. And even ignoring that guy i hate, there's other guys on the wing who are stars - just look at artemi's season mr #3 in points. Geno was just saying he plays center and not wing - two different roles. Putting geno on the wing regularly would look about as silly as watching the rare occasion when poor artemi tries to take a face off if troch gets himself kicked out lol. Like there's shuffling lines and ice time, but shuffling roles in a game feels like a much more significant difference. It also completely ignores the main function of a center - to be the play maker which i imagine requires a lot more awareness of the game as a whole, and leadership, and that thing called 'hockey sense' or whatever. Geno has that - he's proven it over and over through decades at this point - that doesnt go away even if speed or endurance shifts with age.
Tldr - geno had every right to 'bristle' at that suggestion
