hát ez alapján nem úgy tűnik..

There’s been some question about his attitude both on and off the ice. Now when I say “off the ice”, we need to make something clear: When people start talking about off-ice issues, we immediately start thinking of lifestyle concerns. That’s not what we’re talking about here. The concerns that NHL scouts have with Ryan Merkley is not what he does away from the rink, it’s what he does in the rink: On the ice and off the ice – as in, on the bench, in the dressing room, those types of things… (What we’re talking about here is) we have an extremely immature hockey player with a massive amount of offensive ability. He’s been described as petulant, and at times I think he’s made his own life in hockey difficult…he’s had poor self-awareness, and a real lack of accountability.

By this account it seems Merkley isn’t a poor character guy or particularly abrasive person in a broad sense, and McKenzie points out his billet family and folks in Guelph have all kinds of good things to say about him. He comes across as a standard interview as far as hockey players go.

But I think most people know, or knew, someone on their sports team growing up who probably fits the description above. Someone who flips out when things go awry, blames everyone else, takes misconducts. It can be a bad scene.
