No, be fair.  He’s got a good arm and throws a really nice ball.  It seldom goes where it should, but it gets there nice.

And Martavis Bryant 18 games for smoking pot.  Makes sense.

And he threw the deuce.

Here’s the thing. I think Hasek is the best goalie ever. If he’s not, it’s probably Roy or Sawchuk. CuJo, Lundqvist at their best were as good as Brodeur. Vernon was really good, but not at their level.

I think you’ve just solved the Israel/Palestine problem.  

Edit:  Won the Art Ross twice.  (Also three Lady Byngs, but whatever.)

True, and I frankly don’t care if the NHL goes to the Olympics, but I disagree with the notion that it didn’t grow the game. Perhaps not enough for the NHL owners to sacrifice their players in the middle of a season, but the exposure for hockey, not necessarily just the NHL, was real.  

This is a Hot Take because it is a steaming pile of shit. Are his numbers inflated because of the brutal, defensive 90s? Sure, they were. But if you ever watched him play, and you know anything about hockey, you’d see that he was an all-time great who consistently delivered great performances in big games. Slam-dunk…

He’s being inducted in the builder category. He was in charge when the decision was made to go to the Olympics which surely grew the game.

You can make the argument that Fleury was better, I’m fine either way, but Fleury never won any major award while St. Louis had a Hart, and an Art Ross.  Makes sense to me.  Also a much bigger factor in his Cup win as opposed to Fleury, who was just a kid when he won his.  

Incorrect. Only four male players can be inducted in any year.

Only Bobby Orr can challenge Gretzky for GOAT.  Lemieux has to accept being fourth best of all time.  

I think you should get most of your twenties to dress up for sporting events. But once you hit your thirties you look silly even wearing the team jersey to a game, and doubly so if you’re wearing it to watch at a bar.

It worked for Ray Lewis and the Ravens, but maybe that’s because their idiot was actually good.  

Yeah, if you put on a push-up bra and your tightest tank top you kind of lose the right to complain that people are looking at your tits. 

Agreed. Except if it’s my mother, a very smart woman who sometimes doesn’t get jokes. Watching her while somebody explains to her why everyone laughed at the joke and slowly getting it before laughing is hilarious every time. It’s extra funny if she decides it wasn’t very funny after all.  

That’s the great logic here.

Oh, they have an ideology all right.

I always say when this nonsense comes up that we all call on experts all the time. Your kid breaks his leg, you go to a doctor. Somebody stiffs you in business, you call a lawyer. Your car breaks down, you go to a mechanic. We all think structural engineers should handle bridge building.

Seriously. I’ve never seen the show before, because I don’t have FS1, and because I heard Cowherd on the radio many years ago and have common sense. I couldn’t believe how he was perched up there. It looks like a SNL parody sketch or something.
