Hello everyone,
From the book 99: Stories of the game by Wayne Gretzky.
"If you ask anybody who’s won a Stanley Cup, he will tell you it’s the ultimate team accomplishment. Everybody has to participate. It’s not like other sports where some of the best players play three-quarters of the game. Every guy on the team has to play his heart out to win the Stanley Cup."
Does the phrase in question imply that those best players play more than necessary, i.e. they play (in terms of efforts made) for themselves and for the rest of the team? Or does it mply the opposite, i.e. that they do not make all the efforts they could make?
Thank you.
