When an NHL team picks you up off the waiver wire and your stint with them starts with the coach publicly impugning your fitness, it’s probably not a good sign.
That was the case with talented Canucks forward Kyle Wellwood, who was sent back to the waiver wire Friday after playing in just one regular-season game and recording no points.
It’s a shame, as I had high hopes for Wellwood. I really thought he’d have learned his lesson after he fell into the river of chocolate and the Oompa-Loompas sucked him up through that tube, but I guess not. Just goes to show, you can lead an athlete to a million-dollar contract, but you can’t make him work for it.

I’m confused… Did Wellwood break his leg falling into the river of chocolate?
And…
Is that a Oompa-Loompa standing on the right?
It appears to be a lifeguard. Not that I’m looking at her ass or anything.
Wellwood kind of looks like he’s preparing a left-handed cigarette.
