@CarsonHayek@CrossSwordsPod You know there’s a bunch of Canadians players playing for Buffalo too - you think they’ll lose on purpose to help Habs too?
It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Johan Nilsson, the founder of Elite Prospects and the person whose curiosity and passion for hockey planted the seed for everything we have built together.
Born on the 9th of April 1981, Johan founded Elite Prospects in December 1999 at just 18 years old. What started as a vision driven by a deep love of hockey grew into the world’s leading hockey platform, a testament to the kind of person he was. Johan had a rare combination of qualities: sharp intellect, deep knowledge, and a kindness that made everyone around him feel valued.
He could dive into the most complex problems with calm and clarity, and he brought that same thoughtfulness to the people he worked with every day. For the past nine years, Johan faced a battle with colon cancer with the same calm and strength that defined everything he did.
His love of hockey was never just about the game. It was about understanding it fully, honestly, and in all its detail. That drive is woven into the DNA of Elite Prospects, and it will continue to shape the future of what we do.
To know Johan was to be quietly inspired by him. We are all immensely grateful that we got to work alongside someone like him. Our deepest condolences go to his family and loved ones. He will be greatly missed, by all of us and by the global hockey community. Johan leaves behind his beloved wife and two children, aged two and eight.
@waitbutwhy So you mean Red = 100% sure you live, Blue = might die and more than 50% of people pressed that blue button?
I guess AI will takeover 100% sure

@MissyIsMaga@BillAckman Warfare ain’t God’s work - it is and will always be human work. When does the killing stop? Certainly not as long as people use ideology to promote it.
(1/10) @realDonaldTrump cited me as supporting his attack on Iran and expressing regret we didn’t do it during the Biden Administration. Except I didn’t.
@JFreshHockey Switch the goalies and Canada wins in a landslide. Need another D man that can transition like Makar - Schaefer looks the part. Parayko just isn’t good enough, loved how he defended but puck just died on his stick way too often. Nate and Connor dry up - we lose.
Video from December 2024 shows Alex Pretti, the man who was fatally shot by federal officers in Minneapolis, honoring a veteran with a powerful final tribute. The veteran's son weighs in on Pretti's death, saying he was one of Minneapolis' "best citizens" and treated his father with dignity.
