Zuccarello was better than anyone on the USA side of the ice yesterday. This USA team kinda blows. Who is their star?

Jack Eichel, Dylan Larkin, Johnny Gaudreau, and Auston Matthews.

I know "its the Olympics" but that whole attitude is arbitrary - its the same players and same teams - what you call it is semantics.


this was the "Tortorella benching Byfuglien" moment of your blog.

Man, we can't all agree on everything but Keanu was awesome. That said, I am a huge fan of both cats and George Michael, so it was right up my alley. - James Tanner

This explains so much.

Ofc not. See it whatever way you like. he goes 0 points -2 in pre games. noone says anything but if he had 5 points and a +2 people would go like "mc david is the best that has ever happend to hockey" even though they say they don't care about pre tournament games stats. also yes I am a little salty today

I've read you reaching for some nonexistent reasons to marginalize mcdavid a couple times now.
It's kinda funny actually . And fairly transparent at this point .
Pre tournament warmup games!!? Seriously!?



He's an absolute stud/generational talent. Full stop .

No one cares or puts any stock whatsoever into World Cup exhibition games .

I mean someone has to be the one to try to show mc david sucks even though he is awesome. so boring if everyone goes around saying mcdavid is the best in the world and most hate on sid you may not believe it but I am a oilers fan and mcdavid fan. but I guess I'll stop

I think you're underrating the Jays quite a bit here. I agree its been rough lately and I agree there are some better teams. However, no one can run out a lineup of Travis-Donaldson-Bautista-EE-Tulo-Martin-Saunders.

I mean, if your worst hitting players are Upton and Pilar, you're a crazy offensive powerhouse. Saunders is their 7th best hitter!! That lineup is sick and no one can touch it.

Now, I do worry about the starters and the Bullpen, but whatever, I think this last two weeks was just kinda something every team goes through - can't hit and can't get lucky.

Plus, Donaldson was 0 for 23 then missed three games. He seems fine now (hopefully) and that right there is the difference. If JD is even batting .200 over that losing streak they don't lose all those games. Not to mention some of them were just brutal luck *(swept by the Yankees in 3 games they easily could have won by doing nothing different).

I think the Jays will win the World Series.

I see you're just as delusional about baseball as you are about everything else.

MINUS: You would think that if a billion dollar business (the NHL) put on a million dollar tournament where the players combined to be worth probably a billion dollars in combined net-worth, that they'd be able to afford a competent graphic designer to design their trophy and logo

Speaking of horrible logos. Have you seen the logo for the 2017 all star game?

no doubt.

As good as the Jays are they are a one-dimensional club. Only two guys hitting over 280-300 consistently? And Gibbonswon't let the guys get out of their funks by changing the lineup card 9 out of every ten games.

Jays goin nowhere.

Go Mariners!!

Maybe your blogger can read this piece and watch a little more tape before attempting to give a cogent opinion net time he asked to rate NHL centres...
