The Comeback


Theo worked hard his entire life to make it to the NHL just to walk away from the sport in 2003. Theo wouldn’t be seen in the sport for another 6 years, to pass the time he partied, drank, and did drugs. In 2009 he decided to make a comeback. Working his ass off to get back into shape for training camp. Since he had cleaned up and stopped drinking and doing drugs this was his best chance yet. Theo went on to have a great pre season and showed everyone he was a real contender for making it on the team Theo said. On page 328, “The first four lines switch up red, white, gold and black jerseys. The fifth line wears blue. When i walked in a couple days before the final game and there was a blue jersey in my stall, I knew it was just a matter of time”. This is probably the saddest part in the entire book, you know, if you can really consider this sad. The amount of time and effort he put into his comeback just to get cut kinda sucks. I think they should have signed on a one year contract because either way they probably would not have won the stanley cup that year.
