Brooks Laich changes a tire after losing Game 7

I know this isn't directly 'Hawks related, but I thought it was definitely worth reading and sharing, and you can toss it in the "Hockey Players are Different" file.

Simply extraordinary

I’m trying to imagine an NBA player doing this under these (or any) circmstances…Nope. Can’t do it.

Excerpt:

Laich, who scored the team’s only goal in Game 7, apologized to them for the Caps losing.

Part of me still doesn’t believe this actually happened.

Gentlemen! I have invented...this thing!

Bill Wennington would do it.

(there is a joke in there if you look hard enough)

Well, folks, I want to thank you for being here for the recording of my live comedy album. Funny material and laughter will be dubbed in later.

Have you never seen how pissed many Candians get when you refer to "America"?

I’m sure you have, no?

So is Brooks Laich

It's my ass. It's huge. Smell it. Focus on it. Stare into it's unending beauty. It will be your undoing.

Come on now,

there were a bunch of NBA players that would have stoped, and asked how much for the girl…

I am highly impressed with Laich. How many regular 40,000/year shmucks passed them by and didn’t even think about stopping?

Good point

I’m trying to imagine ~~an NBA player~~ 99.999% of humanity doing this under these (or any) circmstances…Nope. Can’t do it.

and the bastard didn’t even stop! I was helping a “little old man” with a flat, and the guy ran over my foot with both tires. The only reason I knew who he was, is because the old guy knew him by the licence plate.
Actually made me think twice before stopping to help another person.

Holy shat.

It totally blows my mind that people could ever do something like that.

"Defense! Defense! Common! Do you call that blowing!?"

Holy ambiguous comments Batman!

LOL Which one?
That someone would stop and help someone?
Or that someone would “hit and run”?
Kidding, really!

Good Blues Brother's reference.

Good man, that Laich. Classy stuff right there.

Starts young...

Just goes to show how most, if not all, hockey players are among the best behaved, well mannered professional players out there. I remember a meeting we had when I first played hockey in high school on our off-ice behavior and manners. We were instructed how to behave and stay out of trouble, as well keep up academically. Also always being dressed well for games, home and away, playing or not. Garry Meier was talking about that today on his WGN broadcast from the UC; and Shithead (sorry I meant Gary Bettman) re-iterated the point, he was attending the game tonight.

whatta a beaut

Don Cherry shoulda had him on during Coach’s Corner for his class (and Canadian) loved that he picked up the car back onto the carjack and that he kept calling the road “the ice” check Puck Daddy out for the article
