Great documentary. It offers lots of insight into Alex's hockey life but for me it was a beautiful reminder of how important it is not to judge people. We never know the shoes a person walks. A dark side to early success is the pressure, expectation and critic that follows it. Congratulations to Alex for working through all this and for achieving happiness!

100% agree. He was 18 and the press was all over him. He ended up focusing on what really mattered to him. He enjoyed life in Switzerland, has a gorgeous wife, children, and spends time with them. At the NHL's highest levels, you sacrifice a lot of that. I'm happy he found peace.

Daigle still had good stats with the Sens, before he left the team. Some people didn't remember how bad this team was before 1996, while the goals per team in the league was under 2 per game, in the mid 1990's comparing to over 3 right now. The actual Sens team is also way better despite the ranking.
