Hi everyone,
I just want to apologized for the situation going on right now.
We just need to find a place for me where i can develop and be the best hockey player I can be.
I came to North America 3 years ago coming from a home in Russia where I never had a bed, a shower or heat...I work everyday to be the best hockey player I can be so I can provide for my family, have a better life... Because hockey is all I have, my passion, who I am.
I am so grateful I played in Québec with one of the best coach in the world, amazing fans, people and city. I got to play against great players who are now doing amazing in the NHL. I'm also so proud I was drafted in the NHL by the Buffalo Sabres organization. I love the city and people there. I love my neighborhood and I love the guys. They also have owners who want everyone to be happy and love their team so much.
Now I would just ask all of you guys to respect me and the time I'm taking to think about my career. It might be hard to understand but it is even harder for a teenager.
Grigo

He's too young for the AHL?

The tail can’t wag the dog; the dog wags the tail.

You got to make the best of whatever situation you’re in. If he learns at a young age, it’s even better. But you will learn to adapt and to adjust, and if you don’t, someone else is always going to take your job.

Ahhhhhh! That blogger uses apostrophes terribly! Who's instead of whose, season's instead of seasons. How can I trust that? Also when did a tweet become a legit source? Anyone can tweet anything right?

Assuming that's true though, I can't help but wonder if this proves Grigorenko is a total fucking pain in the ass. I mean, why would Quebec NOT want to have this stud player who scores 1.5 ppg in the QMJL on their team? Is it because they have what's best for HIM in mind? Doubt it. Either he's such a dick in the locker room they want him out, or he's such a pain about deserving more to management that they're tired of dealing with his agent. Either way, this just makes me think even less than I already did of him, and I already thought he seemed like a fuckstick.

Also when did a tweet become a legit source? Anyone can tweet anything right?

Well, they aren't by default, but they can be the fastest source of breaking legitimate news if you carefully consider the source.
Many professional sports writers will tweet out news as soon as they hear it then pen an article to the same, more verbose, effect in the hours following.

For example, Bob McKenzie and Darren Dreger are very reliable sources. You know if a person is actually legitimate if they have a blue checkmark next to their name (it means their account is verified.) There are some that don't have the checkmark, but are still legit sources.
