He has been so good I would hate to have seen him leave so early
Yay 😀
happy he decided to work through his home sickness and glad his friends and family are supportive of him through this
Why can I only upvote once?
Oh thank the fucking lord

Good job. Good work. Good Goal next.

“Comrade, you stay yes? If you do, we will all celebrate by scoring against team of Bears”
Tonight gets even better! Love it!
Winning cures all.
Poor kid. I remember being a young 20year old that ran off to another country. It’s rough. Even tho I had friend support, that first few months was scary and exciting at the same time. The call for home hurts sometimes. I get it. Glad he decided to stick it out for a bit longer 🙂
I’m happy not just because he’s a good player who is valuable, but he genuinely seems like a good kid who only wants to do his best. We need guys like this in the team, man.
I’m so glad that he’s decided to stay. I certainly wouldn’t have blamed him for leaving, but hot damn the kid has talent and he busts his ass every shift out on the ice.
This man is a treasure we must protect him at all costs
To anyone who has upended their life, that first year is really hard. Even more so with a language barrier and culture shock.

Aw yis!!
Sometimes all you gotta do is ask for help, genuinely.
Well that’s just nice
American Thanksgiving will do that
You know there’s something toxic about Columbus when players are fleeing to Russia. The paycheck must have hit.
Hope he’s able to make Columbus a home
