Connor Zary is bang on with this take.
"When you have younger guys with talent and skill, you don't want to hold them back. You don't want to put a leash on them, right? At the end of the day, who gives a shit if they go out there an make a mistake. It's going to happen."
Once a Chief, always a Chief 🔵⚪️🟡
The Chiefs are proud to announce that Luke Dyer is returning to the organization as our new Assistant Coach.
Let’s get to work.

Dear @NHL, you are risking the lives and livelihoods of your players. @NHLPlayerSafety and its leader are clinging to a league standard that's been dead since, and likely because of, George Parros and his ilk left the ice. Will you be accountable? Players aren't safe.
Nice to see Player Safety sending a strong message.
I mean, it's a stupid message. A stupid, irresponsible message. But they're being loud and clear about it.
@NHLPlayerSafety Watched the NHL since ‘79, so I know the game. Your decision to grant AJ Green a phone hearing was the first sign you’d lost the plot. 3 games for the most dangerous hit in the game? I’d say you neither care about player safety, nor understand your role. Shame.
A 4th liner whose team is done for the year. Losing him would have zero impact.
If you can't make a stand on this player, that these hits have no place in the NHL, then you really don't feel that way at all.
Shame on @NHLPlayerSafety
“I don’t need a break, or a fresh start. I just want to be in Edmonton, playing hockey. I want to get back there again, whatever it takes. If that sounds like a robot, then I guess I’m a robot.”

I’ll say it plainly: Mark Carney is the right person for this moment, and the people losing their minds about it are proving exactly why.
Canada is not weak. Canada does not “suck.” And we don’t need to burn our institutions to the ground because a loud minority is addicted to grievance politics.
No leader is ever going to align with 100% of your beliefs, and that expectation isn’t principled, it’s childish. What matters is competence, stability, and understanding how power, markets, and geopolitics actually work.
The nonstop “Canada is broken” rhetoric, born with the convoy and kept alive by Maple MAGA, is a gift-wrapped talking point for foreign interference. Undermine trust. Stoke resentment. Convince people their country isn’t worth defending. That’s the playbook.
I’m done pretending that constant cynicism is patriotism. It isn’t. It’s destabilizing, unserious, and embarrassingly easy to manipulate.
We don’t need louder outrage. We need adults who understand the stakes, and remember what it means to be Canadian.🍁
