A couple of days ago, Ryan Wilson told us a story about how he once wrote that Baltimore Ravens defensive end Trevor Pryce, at the age of 32, was not capable of running a 4.5 40-yard dash. Soon after making the post (seen here) he received an e-mail from Pryce himself, challenging him to a race. Personally, I would have accepted the challenge, knowing full well I'd get crushed like a grape, simply because it would have made for a fantastic story. But, different strokes for different folks. Anyway, that story was the first thing I thought of when I saw this over at On Frozen Blog, in regards to Dmitri Kugryshev's call-out of a poster at Hockey's Future for questioning his weight training routine. The actual comment was, "less blogging, more weight training."
"I have seen that some Capitals fans - you know who you are - have suggested that I should stay in the gym instead of writing a blog. Are you right? May be. But we all have a right to have our own opinions. So, let me explain. I have been in the gym every single time when I am not playing. I am not the "bang 'em, kill 'em" type of forward. I think I am a scorer. I have said in the past that I do need better conditioning, but I still have a right to talk. Or write. (yes, I am talking to you, BrooklynCapsFan)..."That is awesome on so many levels. BrooklynCapsFan, you've really done it this time.
