There's a lot of things that come with learning the ropes of being an NHL player that have very little to do with actually playing hockey.
That might sound a little weird, but think about it: aside from being a great player on the ice, there's a lot that comes with being a hockey player that doesn't have to do with hockey at all. Dealing with fans, keeping up the celebrity status, being able to chat with media…the list goes on, but like we said, there's a lot that comes with being a professional hockey player.
Cole Caufield settled right in with the whole hockey part of being an NHL player. Fresh off winning a World Juniors Gold as well as a Hobey Baker, Caufield has got right to work with the Montreal Canadiens' Cinderella story of a Playoff run with four goals in ten games.
While he looks like he has the hockey thing pretty well down pat, today, Cole Caufield showed that he is also highly skilled in a department that some NHL players never master: the art of subtle cockiness and swagger. Some guys take it too far, and some don’t have it at all, but Cole Caufield hit it right in the sweet spot of cool confidence and cockiness after Lehner mentioned his 'scouting report. '
We'll see which one of these two gamers can out-poker face the other tonight!
