Discuss the St. Louis Blues, the NHL, or whatever.

After all of this talk about character during the draft and people claiming you are what you are?ksbluesfan wrote:Last October, I talked to a guy from Calgary about MacInnis. He painted a very different picture of Al than the one we know. According to this guy, Al was well known for starting fights at bars and getting hammered after the games. He started to tell me a story about an incident between his mom and Al, but we got distracted.
The former management teams for the Blues didn't emphasize character. Good thing, eh? If they did, we never would have had Gilmour, Hull, Shanahan, MacInnis, the Plagers, Gassoff, etc.ViPeRx007 wrote:After all of this talk about character during the draft and people claiming you are what you are?ksbluesfan wrote:Last October, I talked to a guy from Calgary about MacInnis.

No way!
I'm guessing when he was in Calgary. He had a reputation for being a bit of a liquored up meathead when he was there. I guess he cleaned up his act a little after he went to St. Louis.Jack T Adams wrote:When did he get a DUI?cprice12 wrote:WestCoastWingsFan wrote:During the '04 playoffs I met a bitter Flames fan who actually said Mac wouldn't get into the Hall bc of his drunk driving arrest.
I've said it before, I'll say it again: Character doesn't win Cups. If you pass on quality players bc you don't like their personailties, it'll come back to bite you in the ass.ksbluesfan wrote:The former management teams for the Blues didn't emphasize character.

Yeah, he seemed very family-orientated in St. Louis. The last guy I would picture getting liquored up.WestCoastWingsFan wrote:I'm guessing when he was in Calgary.
