Til the End of Time said:This is sort of off topic, but relates to Schremp.
A new teammate on my college ice hockey team and I were talking about the lockout and stuff a few days ago. We then discussed Crosby, and what it would be like to play with him. My teammate then asked me if I had heard of Robbie Schremp, and I simply responded yes. He then proceeded to tell me what a "psycho" he was. Apparently the two of them had player against each other in Syracuse in PeeWee's. Obviously this was awhile ago, and Schremp was the best player by far, but also a headcase. In one game, Schremp's team was killing my friend's team, like 10-0, but when the team finally scored their first goal, Schremp went nuts.
Now, I am not simply trying to bash Schremp, as I think he was the third most talented player in the draft. I have no ill will towards him. But I just thought it was interesting that a person would go to such great lengths telling how Schremp was a headcase without me even asking about it, and I wanted to share my story. They played together awhile ago, and Schremp easily could have changed his tune my now.
Take it for what it's worth.
I had a couple first hand experiences with schremp on both draft days. And like you said nobody is doubting that the kid can play and has great skills. But he definately has issues. Issues alot of teams were willing to draft someone else not to deal with them.
