We often see these guys as robots whenever they do their cookie cutter hockey interviews... refreshing to see a professional athlete show his human side like that.
In case you missed this one going around Twitter - very real, very human. I love this clip

A lot of kids grow up dreaming of playing in the NHL. Yet the older I've gotten, and now with a family of my own, I've found myself thinking just how much time these guys spend on the road -- or even away from "home" altogether if they're a little older and get traded but don't want to uproot the family. I can only imagine how difficult that would be, and then to do your best to tune it out entirely on a nightly basis to perform while under a microscope.
There are obvious perks to being a professional athlete, but a good reminder that there often are downsides to being one of the select few who live out that dream.
