No But holy s*** the nards of steel on yzerman. He couldve played it safe and waived Erne or Hellberg or something, but no, he waives one of his most talented forwards, then refuses to elborate. Hes toying with the league at this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Walman6million 250 Report post Posted January 5, 2023 What exactly does the PAP entail? They dont say what the program is as its private for each player. All i was able to gather is that the league has an open phone line for players in the program to call, and counselors available in every city. So what was Vrana doing this entire time? Intense inpatient rehab? Or Zoom calling a counselor once a week?... I did some stalking of Jakub's longtime GF, and she has been vacationing in the mediteranean since October up until mid December... kinda odd to abandon your longtime BF during his time of need to vacation alone. Also kind of odd that her trip to the med seems to line up with Jakubs time away from the team. Now shes a model, so her travelling for fashion shoots isnt unheard of. But from what I can tell is she hasnt appeared in any magazines since 2020... What im trying to say here is, I think Jakub has been "getting sober" in Greece, Sardinia, Rome, and Sicily for the past 2 months. Hmmmm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmmmm The PAP entails the player not admitting he has a problem, owning up to it, working his ass off to correct it, or being dedicated to the team, apparently.

Walman6million 250 Report post Posted January 12, 2023 Ben Simon scratched Vrana in the AHL... At least Mantha is being scratched in the NHL... It's the veterans rule, but all this means is Simon valued Lashoff over Vrana in his lineup. This is too much. This kid is toast. 1 Rick D reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonas Mahonas 1,872 Report post Posted January 12, 2023 the interviews have stopped with Vrana. not a good sign. norally, players of his calibur should be talking to our media softball crew about their progress. He's really blowing it. Looks like the end of the line. He's putting himself on ice. The magic 8-ball says "decidedly no". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im good without the apologies. Im happy to see that his head seems to be in the right place = cleaning his s*** up and ditching the blow. I dont have anything against coke and hookers. But if youre in the NHL, that cant be your thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
