Jakub is great at many things but one of the things he's not great at is handy work. You don't want to ask him to do any repairs around the house, he tried to put together a new bed frame last week and while he got eventually it looks nothing like the box.

Quote:You've proven yourself of being quite capable as a hockey player, but what is something you're absolutely terrible at? Write about your player's off-ice woes, whatever they are laughably bad at.

Adam is mostly good at art: he enjoys painting, digital painting, drawing, 3d modeling, even sewing on occasion. What he's not good at is sculpting. He once was commissioned with creating a statue of soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo, and the backlash to his work was so bad that the organization that commissioned it had to find another artist to fix it.

There is something Sven used to be quite embarrassed about. It has brought shame to his family but he has learned to live with it and is willing to share with the public. What Sven, the Swede, is just absolutely terrible at, is... assembling IKEA furniture.

He just cannot do it. He has tried multiple times, but each time there is always some screws or nails left over. Or the drawer does not slide in and out smoothly. Or the scaffolding was installed the wrong way so now he has to take it all apart and start over.

A specific memory that usually comes to mind when this is brought up is when he first moved to Vancouver to play in the SMJHL. He got an apartment a few miles from the arena, but did not have any furniture at all with him. Luckily he had at least ordered a bed to be delivered the same day he would. But it probably took about a week until he finally went out and visited the closest IKEA to start filling out his apartment to make sure it looked like someone actually lived there.

He went to IKEA with fellow draftee Sabo Tage and ordered a bunch of stuff. A couch, coffee table, dining room set, and more. Unfortunately for Sven, Sabo did not have time to stick around and help assemble the furniture. So it was up to Sven to somehow get everything together. What followed was a full week of hammering, screwing, gluing, cursing, surrendering, and hopelessness.

The couch had three big pieces that needed to be put together. Sounds simple enough, right? Nope! Sven could not find the screws needed and had to call IKEA, only to find them the next day having rolled under his bed. The dining set had to be re-assembled 4 times due to the chairs being dangerously wobbly or the table pieces not wanting to be together. The fancy electric, standing desk he bought still does not work. He put it all together following the manual, but no luck. At least it works as a table...

When Sven was traded to Carolina he decided to leave all this mess behind and buy only assembled furniture in the future. And he has never been happier.

Dom Montgomery is really bad at being bad at anything. Woodworking? Nails it. Being a good romantic partner? Very much nailing it. Having great hair? Definitely. All joking aside, he's frustratingly bad at ping pong and almost anyone can beat him.

Despite PBJ being well coordinated, and a great skater, something that he’s never been able to do well is dance. From gym dance classes, or during the major dance event’s PBJ has always shown up with two left feet.

Ryan Shepard is great at hockey, and a good all round athlete. Unfortunately the skills for these got taken out of his musical abilities. Shepard cannot make sense of how musical keys work and is horrible at carrying a tune or melody when singing.

I suck at being a caring and attentive individual. If it ain't all about numero Uno then buzz off. Also your welcome for this response.

Lallo Selman is a notoriously awful golfer, it's easily his biggest off ice woe. Rumour has it that he's so bad at golfing that he straight up just doesn't golf at all in the offseason. Makes all those golfing jokes when he gets eliminated from the playoffs kinda run dry.

Ursin Zimmermann is really bad at football. Whenever he touches the ball it's not going where he wants it to go. He barely manages to stay alive during a two touch session.

Easily the ability to motivate ones self sometimes.

With the whole covid restrictions the world and life balance is really in a weird place. You are scared to go out too much in fear of catching anything, but also dying from being cooped up so long and wanting to just get out to do the things you used to. Its time like this you have to get creative.

Maxime can never find a pen. His short term (and his long term for that matter) memory has been completely destroyed after years of abusing his nasal cavities with harsh substances. Honestly still don't know how he is allowed to be in the league let alone captain a team but obviously he's doing something right. But yeah, pens are Maxime's own worst enemy.

Adrik Baranov isn’t bad at much but he is a terrible singer. Unfortunately for his friends, family and everyone around him, he loves to sing.

As a young player, it's not a surprise that Jimmy Wagner has had his fair share of struggles with emotional expression and self inflicted pressure to preform, as outlined in one of his entries on The Player's Tribune. Since then, Jimmy has been working at his soft skills and emotional IQ as much as his hockey IQ and it's really paid off both on and off the ice. His relationships, with friends, teammates, and partners, have gotten stronger, and his performance on the ice has skyrocketed. He's become the leader of the Carolina Kraken, using some of that ability to communicate and verbalize to elevate the other Juniors players around him, and in the two and a half seasons since that article he has lived up to the original expectations of him when he came over from Austria, having racked up 131 points in 160 games, a Four Star Cup, and numerous individual awards for himself and teammates.

Now, if only he could get a little better at cooking. His apartment neighbors would probably appreciate not smelling smoke once or twice a month.

Corey Kennedy does not struggle in life about anything. He is a man of man, perfect in every way, thinking about it, he might struggle at being humble, but humble is lame people. Corey is not lame, so therefore he does not struggle.

Guy O'Shea is on his way to becoming a great hockey player but off the ice, he does struggle with forgetfulness. Mostly short term memory, he can't remember names very well. He just calls everyone buddy or hey man or whatever.
