What a douche.
‘The time is nigh’ and ‘Ottawa’ trigger the shit out of Karlsson and he walks out?
I’m sure he’s not happy about getting pumped by the Leafs and he’s probably anxious about his return to Ottawa Saturday but gimme a break. You’re an adult and a proffesional athlete heading back to the city you were traded from because you didn’t really want to be there anymore and they couldnt afford you. That’s it, that’s all.
The most logical question to ask Karlsson has nothing to do with the loss to Toronto and shouldn’t have been shocked by a reporter asking about his return. He walked in pissed off and bitchy and left the same way so don’t put this on the reporter.
I expected more from Karlsson and used to feel for his situation but acting like a petulant dick cancelled that out this morning. Karlsson clamming up 2 days before the Sharks visit Ottawa is understandable but walking out because you don’t feel like answering a completely normal question is a dick move.
He was -1 in 26 mins TOI last night. Maybe he’s pissed he never learned to skate backwards.
