(NHL. Tommy Pham Jersey .com)Here are some of the best moments from the letter,"Immediately after getting picked—youre going second, by the way—forget the handshakes and interviews and convince your new team, the Devils, to trade up before Quebec chooses a smallish guy named Joe Sakic. Youll thank me later.""In a few months, on the night before your first game in our hometown, Toronto, dont meet all your friends at the high school dance. You are a damn professional athlete! Actually, nah, nevermind. Thats awesome, and will provide endless entertainment for your teammates when youre stupid enough to tell them where you were.""Soon, your teammates will “initiate” you. They will warn you, and when they do, hide all the heat rub in the dressing room. Should you fail to hide it all, do NOT run to the shower. Water makes it hotter.""Call home more often even if it means paying $3 a minute in quarters at a pay phone. This is one of the last times in your life when you wont be inundated with LOLs, :)s, LMAOs and TTYLs. Its ok that you have no idea what any of those acronyms mean. When youre 45, you still wont understand them all.""Near the end of your career, you will fight a tough guy named Donald Brashear, after he takes some liberties with your captain. You will finish third in the fight, but do it anyway. Many establishments still give you free beer for this.""You will be suspended several times. Dont say anything too stupid about the poor League Disciplinarian afterwards. Youll see why one day.""- Brendan Shanahan / The Players TribuneTo see the entire letter by Brendan Shanahan, you can read that here.(Quotes courtesy The Players Tribune) Anthony Banda Jersey . - The New England Patriots needed help on defence so they added three experienced players at midseason. Peter Fairbanks Jersey . A-Rod is also disqualified from any post-season play. So at the tender age of 38, he will miss all of next season.
