The fact that Edmonton hasn't been able to overcome their goaltending and defensive play to win the Cup when when they reach the final has rested on McDavid's shoulders in the eyes of some. That said, anybody that actually watches the games knows that McDavid and Draisaitl are often dragging...

Hahahaha :)

We're having a conversation dripping in sarcasm. Connor McDavid is the best hockey player in the world by almost everyone's estimation and some people don't even think it's very close. He's arguably the fastest skater in the NHL. He has insane coordination, especially when you consider the...

I appreciate your OSU vs Oregon comp but I actually think the Americans are legitimately better defensively as a group. I think Makar is clearly the best defender in the world, but if I was making a top 6 out of Canadian and American defensemen I'd take Makar and Morrisey for Canada and Hughes...

As we saw in 4-Nations, however, the American D-core, in combination with Helle when he's at his best, are the closest thing there is to a neutralizing factor for Canada's offense. I think I'd take Canada 7/10 times in a 10 game series, but the Americans would win some games and and some of the...

I agree. Slow foot speed. No coordination. Poor hands. Low compete and terrible hockey IQ.

Marner is definitely soft, as a diehard Leafs fan his style of play tortured my soul... However, he's actually a high end penalty killer (objecfively) there is no doubt that the dude is a net benefit to the team due to his insane setup skills when paired with the caliber of goal scorer that...

Already looking forward to our game against the Americans on the men's side. Canada looked deadly today too against a very underrated Czech squad featuring Pastrnak, Necas, Hertl, Hronek and company. Thought Dostal played great for the Czechs in net. Macklin Celebrini looked great in his...

Burrell is fine, but like many of the highly rated Illinois WR's to come out lately, I think he's a little bit overrated... Much like Cam Wiliams, Malik Elzy, Kam Brown, Tyler Morris, A.J. Henning, etc... I'm going to reserve judgement on Talyn Taylor until we see more of him, because I still...

Always hope I'm wrong when I bet against ND, but I'm just not feelin' the program momentum with the coaching turnover that I did coming off the natty appearance two seasons ago. I think ND finishes 2nd and 3rd a frustrating amount in this cycle, yet still winds up with a quality, top 5-7 class...

With the coaching turnover in this cycle I think we're going to have to wait to see some new names pop up, as some guys we had hoped to land will fade away as options. ND isn't coming off a national championship appearance either, with all thay recruiting momentum as their backs. I think people...

The U.S. women have taken an impressive leap in hockey. While the Canadian men still generally outclass their U.S. rivals (although it's closer than ever), the U.S. women have surpassed the Canadian women over the last half decade and have now supplanted the Canadian women as unarguably the...

The good thing is that the media has been reporting for 3+ weeks that Landow could be leaving for the NFL. If they know, it also means that Freeman and the ND administration already know, allowing them to have already been working in the background to fill the role quickly and to create a high...

He's not wrong. The track actually hits pretty hard. What didn't hit was the horrendous timing of the ridiculous lipsycing Kid Rock deployed in that "performance". Cringy. And all politics aside, I was interested in Kid Rock when Devil Without a Cause dropped back in the 1998-1999? Time frame...

Nothing wrong with being short and sweet. I don't have the monopoly on ideas!

I think the answer is to cut 10lbs off Mullins and have him play more run snaps on the edge in the Tuihalamaka role, then prepare for a mixture of Dunham, Sneed and KVA coming off the edge in sub package pass rushing roles. Basically, Traore, Young and Keeley become a 3-for-2 rotation as every...

Wishing Lindsey Vonn all the best after another fall, seconds into her finals run. Airlifted to the hospital to see how much more damage those legs have sustained. I always appreciate an athlete willing to risk it in support of their dreams. At 41 I hope she's able to heal up well and enjoy the...

Yeah, there are other strange changes as well. Ausberry has been listed at 6'0, then 6'2 and now back to 6'0.

A lot of the best Nigerian kids have enough money to make their way to USA, Canada, Germany, etc... Often very good academically and very raw, but insanely high upside. I'm not saying that it wouldn't be valuable to start an academy over in a place like Lagos, but you get a high volume of...

All the Nigerians... You see the flag in the profile and tou make the gamble. If a kid with this upside is the "bottom" of your class, you're recruiting correctly.
