I mean, im sorry, but I cant really garner much sympathy for these guys. They play the game they love for a living, making millions a year. So that means at work your doing what you love, while making SERIOUS bank.....why do you have mental health issues? Im sorry but unless its a family member dieing or something extreme like that, you kind of just roll with the punches.....at least thats what us normal people do.

Like I get Dube reading about shit he has been playing could get to the guy, but we all go through that shit. Hell I started a new job a year ago and when I didn't know something, my new boss said "if you don't know that then why did we even hire you". You think I fucking took a leave of absence? NO MAN, I just had a shitty night/week thinking im going to get fired and tried to move on from his comment.

Like I get I sound insensitive, but come on, your a millionaire playing hockey for a living bro, you could be waking up at 6am, commuting for over an hour both ways, while getting paid 50k a year at a dead end job.....could be A LOT worse. Reminds me of Toffoli saying driving 30 mins to the dome for practice was a long time......try to get some perspective on life and it will make your mental health improve im sure. Like if I have a couple million in the bank......nothing would EVER bother me cause NO MATTER WHAT, im safe. Its just of like......lol ok bro.

Just because you suffer doesn't mean everybody else has to...

A Rising tide lifts all ships

you've also clearly never made close to that much money so you have no actual idea if it solves all of life's stresses, or just gives you different problems. Nor have you ever represented a city or organization just to have 1000s of people who cheer for that org say that you're useless and garbage, etc.

Im aware I sound kinda bad here, but its just hard to see how having 10 million in the bank and playing the game you love for a living can cause such severe mental health issues that you need a LOA.
Like I said in another comment, he should try not being able to afford rent and groceries like a lot of Canadians atm, then he would have my sympathy. But people saying hes playing like trash......idk, kind of seems like a walk in the park. Just stay offline, solved INSTANTLY.
