A little fanatical but respectable. Although I feel like living in absolutes isn't a very healthy thing to do.

Drinking alcohol even in modest portions isn't good for you. And, gambling for health?

I don't think we got enough information about lifestyle choices to have any cause for concern

Actually science would suggest that drinking alcohol in modest portions is good for you.
Here's What Happens When You Drink Red Wine Every Night

I'll avoid the gambling topic but in general living in absolutes typically isn't all that healthy for you. I'd wager more people into addiction rather than being able to drink a small glass of wine everyday though so there's that.

As a human being you need outlets to deal with stress.

Seems to be more about the antioxidants.

Anyway, you're just speculating that Provorov doesn't have outlets for stress. I don't see the purpose of it.

Nice job just sweeping that answer to your statement under the rug.

Who cares if I am just speculating anyways and besides it was more of a general statement.

I enjoy alcohol. I think others enjoy alcohol enough to want to see positive benefits to their habit. The link between good health and drinking moderately is tenuous...

It's a probably a great idea to avoid the devil drink as a professional athlete.

Yeh, I love a drink, but my little sister is tee-total and I always tell her not to bow to peer pressure, it is probably realistically better overall not to drink at all. It is a depressant, reduces functionality, slows blood flow... and is effectively a poison your body tries to fight.

I mean, I know this and still choose to drink.



Though I don't drink coffee, rarely drink soft drinks and don't eat potato chips at all... they are all choices based on me seeing no reason for them because I don't need them and the negatives outweigh the positives.

Provy is one of my favorite players...but im worried hes regressing.... somebody please convince me his uneven play of late is just an insignificant slump.

I don't think he has played as well in February as he did in January... where he was just perfect... but realistically he has only had a couple af sub-par games in the last ~10.

Love these interviews (seem so real and candid), and appreciate the translation!

I remember the first one I read, thinking wow - this kid has unreal discipline, focus and mental strength - a rarity at his age. Seeing it continue (and translate on ice), blows my mind.

The future is bright, and we've been lucky to say the least with the mass of talent the past few seasons. It's enough to make me want to clear up some "travel restrictions", so that I can come join the party in the 20's...

The thing I like is that even though he seems like a robot in these interviews - a great robot - he smiles a lot on the ice, too. He's just a really good dude.

Yeah, it's some of the components that are naturally present in red wine that are believed to have some heart-related benefits, not the actual alcohol which is a carcinogen.

No shocker he is playing so well. Only going to get better and with an attitude like that he will be a Captain one day.

I love the interviewer bringing up Philadelphia cream cheese as if that's the city's greatest treasure. That's like asking a foreigner in the KHL if they love Russian nesting dolls.

Heh, reading between the lines you could make a guess that Provo doesn't eat any cheese either. Robots run on water and protein bars (no sugar).

Anyone else think Pantene Pro-V's responses are a little too perfect? If you need proof for validation, look no further than his perfect hair!

Seriously, this guy is the epitome of perfection in every possible way. He CANNOT be real! I'm nearly twice his age but half the man he is (based off his responses).

Oh, he's got a stress release.

Why do you think he spends so much time in the gym?
