Dave Lozo’s Feb 7, 2014 Twitter Ramble About Jeff Carter

This is long deleted, but it came up today, and I saved it all back then. This was 21 tweets at the time:

This whole “Is Taylor Hall smart?” slash “media access” debate got me thinking about player reputations. Allow me to tell a story.

For years, especially while he was in Philly, I heard from a lot of people that Jeff Carter was either dumb, a dick, or both. He came to MSG 3 or 4 or 5 times a year and I never talked to him. He was never around postgame. I’d always go to both locker rooms, never saw him there.

When he was left off Team Canada in 2010, we wanted to talk to him at MSG pregame. Refused to talk. To many, it wasn’t a big deal because he was allegedly a dick, an idiot or both, so no loss. Again, not my opinion, just what people who talked to him had said.

So he gets dealt to LA, goes to the Cup Final. He’s in NJ. I’m on the series. I say I’ll talk to him. “Good luck,” was the sentiment because of the whole idiot/dick thing. Asked him a couple questions. He was good. Not a dick, not dumb. Good. I wondered why people thought this about him. But, one interaction, two questions. Maybe I’m wrong. Others telling me this stuff seem to know him better.
