Learn how to trash talk

I was watching the NHL network the other day and they had a segment where they played sound bites of all the players that were wearing a mic during the game. The one clip that stands out in my mind is Jordin Tootoo telling Chris Chelios, 'You only have one more year left then you're done. I've got 10 years left.'. Talking trash is a part of sports. As Terry Tate says, 'sometimes it's about the mind games.' But if your going to talk trash do it right.

Seriously, telling a 45 year old his career is almost over. Oh, snap.

Chelios is about as high on my hockey dislike as Gary Bettman, the Leafs and American beer, but he has had an amazing career, and chances are he's going to the Hall of Fame. So, this Blog hurts me write. Tootoo needs to give his head a shake. So far this season, Chelios has 9 points, Tootoo 5. Chelios was drafted before Tootoo was born,and will have better career stats in every category then Tootoo besides penalty minutes (which is still yet to be determined). So Tootoo, next time you try to stir things up, don't talk career length with a HOF bound player, when you're going to be on the bubble for the rest of your career.
