I bet you that every single woman on that US team would trade all their world championship golds for one Olympic gold. 

No. It’s important we be reminded that evil has a human face, and that it can be anyone, white, black, middle-eastern, Asian, male or female.  

This guy trained with a white-supremacist group and wore a MAGA hat.  This might have some legs and hurt Trump a bit.  

It’s funny, guys like this get groped more than actresses in Hollywood. A lot of women, and more than a few men, just feel compelled to put hands on them either out of curiosity or awe, like he’s a safe bear you can touch. I think giant men make us all feel and act like safe and secure children.

Until I finished writing it, I had no idea I had that much opinion on Kyrie Irving.  

True story. A friend of mine has been playing rec hockey for years, and always wore a full face shield. At the start of a season several years ago, he decided to go with a half shield. Took a puck in the mouth early in the game, lost four teeth and needed dozens of stitches to close up a massive gash in his lip.

We’re pretty chill.  You could have worse overlords.  

I’d be okay with some kind of salary cap evolution because I do like the idea of being able to keep a great team together for a few years. How about a franchise tag of some sort?

Every single country in the tournament has their best tied up in the NHL. All the Canadian players on this year’s team play in the same pro leagues (KHL, German, Swiss, Swedish) as the players on the Euro teams.  It’s the same for everyone and this tournament only exposes the depth of talent that each country has at…

Then you don’t really understand that Slovenia is Slovenia. They might have one guy who would be on Canada’s C or D level team. Think depth of talent and you’ll understand why there are favourites and underdogs.

Hossa is never playing in the NHL again.  This is certain from what I’ve read.  But yeah, he’d be about the best player in the whole tournament, give or take a Datsyuk or Kovalchuk.

I’m with you on a lot of this ongoing debate, but as a fan of a team that lost every good player for years to rich teams as soon as they deserved to get paid, the salary cap reinvigorated my enthusiasm for the NHL. There is nothing more futile than cheering for a team that usually misses the playoffs and can never do…

Half the Canadian team are KHLers themselves.

Yeah, but Bill Lee, for all his self-promotion, is actually a pretty bright and interesting guy. Kyrie Irving is an annoying contrarian who doesn’t have near the intellectual chops to make it interesting.

I was nearly 30 when Columbine happened. It sickened and disturbed me more than I could have imagined.

You’ve convinced me.  Anywhere in the U.S. that has a hog problem, you can have assault rifles.  Nobody else can.  Good?

Wow, that’s an obscure reference.  Good job.

From Dictionary.com:

When asked if it’s true that last night’s sex was disappointing Belichick said, “we’re on to doggy-style.”

They probably don’t need to. There’s a bobsleigh mega-store in an outlet mall in Pyeongchang.
