I walked into a bookstore the other day and saw that Max Domi had a book and I wondered to myself: why isn't everyone calling Domi a selfish player that's in it for himself like they did when PK did that charity thing with the hospital?
The extent to which people went out of their way to say that Subban's charity was all about PK was shocking, yet no one has an issue with Domi releasing a book, hanging out with celebrities and supposedly poo-pooing over his contract.
Domi isn't as attention seeking as Subban is, but he's still pretty much spotlight seeker. Why aren't we calling Domi a selfish diva worried about his brand?
There was a piece on La presse calling Domi selfish for being mad he was at wing just two days ago.

Yeah. There's absolutely nothing wrong with what's going on. Progressism is the way in every single case.
In your case, I think progressisms could be the way. Lets dial it back a bit, stop being offended by change and lets discuss this like adults. You have taken a stand against these change, it is fine, you can have that opinion, but you should be ready to be called out when you're wrong, and here Ill say it, you're wrong.
If you are referring to the Babcock story, I think it's overblown, I think people calling Babcock a terrible human being for that story are maybe overreacting, but you are straight up defending the story.
Do you know what Babcock said when asked about it by Friedman ?
I was trying to focus on work ethic with Mitch - focusing on role models - it ended up not being a good idea. I apologized at the time,” Babcock said.
You realize that even Babcock didn't think it was a good idea ?
There's no ego in there. It's just a dumb, bad move.
I'm a frequent listener of spittin chiclets. I don't necessarily admire the crew, but I do enjoy the real world insight from those that play in the league. One thing that shocked me was the casualness around using cocaine. Ryan Whitney went on a little spiel saying basically that he didn't think that doing coke 4 or 5 times a year wasn't necessarily any worse than getting piss drunk 2-3 times a week. As if there has to be a choice between one or the other.
A few years back I ran into an old high school buddy. We had a good night at the bar together and ended up back at my place. Buddy starts cutting up lines on my coffee table. I had always been curious about the drug and started asking, basically asking to try it. He looked at me straight in the face and said "don't". I've always thought that hard drugs were nothing to be tinkered with, but I'm not sure if all the NHL vets feel the same way.
TLDR, glad to see the league and sport are making progress.
It's not exactly wrong, IMO. Alcohol probably has an even higher potential of ruining lives because its widely accepted, and even encouraged. How many times do we hear people say in GDTs that theyll get drunk because the team sucks or whatever and everyone laughs it off ? We even have a resident poster that I won't name that gets shit faced and posts his blood alcohol level and its fine for most people. I was kind of a party guy when I was in my early 20s and alcohol ruined many relationship, and Im lucky to still have my closest friend because I was a complete trainwreck to myself and to them. Whitney isn't wrong when he says that, he's wrong when he's saying getting shit-faced is something normal.
