"My father turned on the news. They said, '[The Russians] are in the city.' I asked my parents what are we going to do. They said we are going to fight. My dad took an axe, my mom got the knives from the kitchen, and I got hockey sticks... I think this is what it means to be Ukrainian. This is our home and we will fight for it."

I still think of Gleb Krivoshapkin's words in our TSN feature on Ukrainian hockey. They resonate today more than ever. 🇺🇦

@HunterHodies Trocchek I’m fine with, Kreider shouldn’t have been and eh could go either way for the two if they’re replaced by someone with similar skill set. No point in having someone like Caufield as your 12th forward

@HunterHodies Best Steelers OC since Arians 🥱

[Markus @markus8771]

@HunterHodies I guess maybe his thinking is they only have 1 left and want try and save it for a possible fg attempt? Only thing I can think of

[Markus @markus8771]

@NotJustFootball @PFTCommenter Add it to the list

[Markus @markus8771]

@HunterHodies I’d argue there’s some logic behind it considering there’s no football to compete with but doing it on NBA opening night also destroys logic

[Markus @markus8771]

@HunterHodies If they’re asking for like a 6th sure why not he’s better than Van Jefferson

[Markus @markus8771]

@HunterHodies Giving him a boost not that unheard of a move

@HunterHodies 100% agree but don’t you think if any other player had second most points in playoffs, second most minutes of ice time and is playing in big situations they’d at least be top 10 in Conn Smythe consideration?

[Markus @markus8771]

@HunterHodies He’s second in points so far. I get he had a couple games where has wasn’t his normal dominant self but I feel like we just hold him to such a high standard that if he’s not producing at an elite clip every night people are disappointed in him

[Markus @markus8771]

@HunterHodies That’s fair I just enjoy watching Mcdavid, Draistal and their PP so more oilers hockey is always entertaining

[Markus @markus8771]

@HunterHodies I would guess it’s because the league has not disciplined similar plays in the past and people come to expect that. That is not me saying he shouldn’t be suspended 100% think he should be it’s just the league is so inconsistent

[Markus @markus8771]

@HunterHodies I should tweet more often during penguins games

[Markus @markus8771]

@HunterHodies I’ll take credit for that goal 😂
