Everyone knows it, everyone says it, NHL has to go back to business
Get the front offices back on center stage and let them make the selections. Get back to what it used to be, it was so good that way
Alberta separatists trying to become a landlocked independent state surrounded by Canadians who would have zero sympathy for them and an American state that would want to beat them into submission as a client-state is one of the funniest bad ideas in all of recorded history.
Thrilled to learn I’ve entered the survivorship program around my cancer diagnosis
Years and years of monitoring ahead, so knock on wood
But gotta take that W of a news day
The @NHL must revert to a 1-8 playoff system. Playing 82 games and then having two rounds of guaranteed divisional matchups is one of the dumbest formats in sports history.
Where is Gary Bettman on this? Where is the leadership and common sense?
Gold isn’t guaranteed. It’s earned.
Canada didn’t get it done yesterday. That stings. It should.
But here’s the truth about representing Team Canada. The standard doesn’t drop. The work just ramps up.
Use the loss. Sit with it. Then get back to it.
That’s how you respond in the National Hockey League.
That’s how you prepare for the World Cup of Hockey 2028.
That’s how you show up at the 2030 Winter Olympics.
Adversity isn’t the end of the story. It’s fuel.

For all of those who have been blaming Canada for "not making a deal," welcome to reality.
The countries who negotiated "deals" are now getting whacked with higher tariffs, unilaterally and arbitrarily.
They did nothing to provoke that. He's just angry with the United States Supreme Court.
The tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum are in violation of our earlier deal: CUSMA.
Deals don't matter when negotiating with a counterparty who doesn't respect them.
We still have to do our best to preserve what we can of CUSMA and "negotiate," but with eyes wide open.
That means dispensing with the naïve belief that we can return to normal trade relations anytime soon.
If you want to understand the depth of the Blue Jays' lineup and why they've scored the most runs of any team in playoff history, this is as telling a fact as you'll find: Ernie Clement, who just set an MLB record for hits in a single postseason with 30, bats eighth for Toronto.
