To the italics - on the surface it should be expected to be thrown back however there is a big difference between an obnoxious fan and a $10 million All-Star. One of those two should understand restraint. I would bet you the executive management team for the Las Vegas Golden Knights doesnโt feel good about what he said.
To the bold, Iโm not sure honesty is the best policy when it comes to an emotional based statement like that.
On a side-note, I have a goddamn perma-grin, and iโm fairly sure last night had something to do with it.
