Grønvold disappoints everyone - even his nana - by his training camp performance

[VattghernCZ 1,062]

Grønvold's officially a bust.

 

How else would you describe a 4th overall pick not starting their D+1 season capped at 400 TPA, but rather only in 390s? Sure, he'll get there in week 1, when he sobers up, but what he's shown at the training camp is just unacceptable!

 

He's failed to put on the obligatory 15 pounds of muscle - he's been pounding beers instead, weighing in only 13 pounds heavier than in his last season. 

 

He refused to take the boxing classes his agent recommended, saying he wanted to pOwEr skAte and waTch tHe tApE. Which means he's a) not doing what he's told and b) a big sissy. In fact, when he was at his parents' place in Vancouver, his dad pulled a few strings and got Wolves' legend Guntis Gavilrovs to spar with Grønvold. Instead of throwing punches, Grønvold just asked for an autograph and bought Guntis a crate of bear jerky!

 

And the body checking! Going full speed, he's barely able to run through an 18-milimeter plywood sheet. His scrotum starts retracting when he even sees a brick wall! He's supposed to be a tough guy, right? Bull-!

 

There's a tons of work for Grønvold to become a real hockey player. Is he up for it?
