Really?
It's a joke.
It's all just a joke.
I don't think any of us here really wish him ill-will. We just like to tease about him, for pretty ****ing obvious reasons.

Not surprising after he SCORCHED the Western Conference last year with 4 points. That red light was never off when he was on the ice. Surprised they didn't go for the 8 year term.
I just saw this picture... had to post it!
This is the DR era vs the Soon to be Fletcher era in one!

20 points in 61 games? I'm so devastated. Certainly living up to that 9th overall pick now isn't he?

Considering how much DR wrecked him I think it's really good to see him making a career of it, finally.
This. The fact he's still playing in the NHL despite what happened is great to see. Hell, he's six goals away from Koivu despite playing fourth line minutes.
He has as many points as Fontaine. Never going to be a great player but a good depth player.
Couldn't be happier for the guy.
Solid pro and great character guy, exactly what every team is looking for in their bottom six..Good for him.

How's your burger?
Really happy for him. Gonna go out and buy an Affliction t-shirt and sport it all day so I can show some support for my boy, Shep!

Good for Shep. On a different note, that is not what I would have assumed a company named "Brocade" did.
The Sheppard talk in the Gaborik thread had me wondering... what has been happening with the Wild's all time best popcorn maker?
Apparently still plugging away at his hockey career in the DEL. Playing for the Cologne Sharks.

Went on to finish with only 2 points in 37 additional games. That was the James we knew.

Yeah, say what you will about how much it sucks to "bust" as a prospect when you've been dreaming of NHL glory your entire childhood, those busts still get a pretty sweet career in some pretty cool locations.
It's not so hot if you have a stable relationship, nvm kids, and are having to pick up and move every season, if not during the season. The exotic nature of the places you live in gets old quickly, as a lot of times all you want is to get home, sleep, eat, and get ready for the next game.
Hey, he's not up on a roof in mid winter or anything, but being a gypsy isn't for everyone. I've known the odd bottom of the lineup ECHL guys, and every season it's a new team. You have to have a really understanding gf, or boss( these guys usually have to have an off season gig), flexible living arrangements.
