If laich's stroy is true, he is to be commended for stopping after what had to be the most deflating loss of his career.

Great story. People never think of those types of things when they're critical of athletes. They're usually are really decent people

Thats a good story, really cool. I wonder why they left out the part where Laich was the one who slashed their tires in the first place.

On Versus last night they had the Junior Seau show on where he does odd sports jobs and it was one where he worked with the Capitals. It seems like they are a really good bunch of guys.

I watched that show when it originally aired... Actually DVR'd it. I thought I'd save it like it was a good luck charm or something when Jr. mentioned the Caps winning the cup- I deleted it last night :mad:

Jesus....what happened to this thread......


oyyyy

For your benefit, I'll say that Laich demonstrated some serious altrusim there. I don't know that I would have done what he did under normal circumstances, and I'm almost certain I wouldn't have after losing a game 7.

Who does that? Seriously. Why would you stab a man who was trying to help you? That's so pointless. So cruel.

And if you see a man bleeding on the sidewalk, you should not only call 911, but you should see if you can patch up the wound, and, if necessary, perform CPR. Now I said I probably wouldn't have helped the folks with the blown tire, but this man's life was at stake. Something should have been done. It's just inhuman not to do something.
