I read that val article too, I just think he's having a rough time with the change, he just needs some time ya know?
Did he make the comment or not is the question, I guess, did that journalist trick him into it or flat out uses the situation (russian baby rookie being rightfully bounced around on the lines a bit, no one can check the interview since it’s done in russian, etc)?
I mean, I totally agree that he has generally a difficult time and has been working his ass off starting like the minute after the draft, given what’s written in the articles, and that everyone should just chill out and wait, but at the same time I’m so annoyed that this is written about him and no one knows for sure. Like, we can of course never know for sure, but it’s so frustrating that we know so very little. If Val really was that unhappy, even if he isn’t anymore, I’d have liked to have some, idk, indicator?
It kind of all comes together for me here, the way the Stars handle the fans-players relation, the way there is generally so little information on anything and you find out more listening to Razor comment on stuff he talked to the players about in breaks during a game than from the actual Stars website, and now there is this journalist walking right over Nichu and I’d love to defend him but idk how, and the DBD article has all the points, but it’s just… no information. *sighs*
Frustrating. The whole thing. But especially this.
