He was not happy after the fact. His face, the way he carried himself … he was embarrassed. Seriously, would ANY competitive pro athlete not be embarrassed by being picked last on national TV by his peers? No big deal? You don’t make it to the top if you feel that way. You can laugh and pretend, and try to shrug it off, but NOBODY wants to be chosen last.

I heard him earlier in the day talking about how he might go last and he was very casual about it all. He understands where he is and that being last with that group is no big deal. He handled it great.

I know, I was picked last for basketball when I was 13. Last time I ever played b-ball. Who cares, I was smarter than all 50 of those guys combined.

Anyway, since the hockey players I know of spend north of 100k on their cars, I was thinking of a great way for Couture to deflect the embarrassment of being last picked (and he did look embarrassed, shocked, pissed). Tell the interviewer-host that you plan to donate the car to a war veteran who is struggling to stay afloat after returning home. Plenty of them out there.

Instead of being embarrassed, you could wear it as a badge of honor. Unless you’re a complete ahole, you could actually feel pretty good about being picked last.
