I don’t follow the MLS, but it sounds like this guy is just an okay player and unlikely to play at a higher level some day. I wonder if he had a shot at one of the big leagues in Europe if he would have come out. It blows my mind that guys still need to protect their careers by staying in the closet. 

Usually that “Alberta man” is actually from the Maritimes working up around Fort Mac.

She’ll get paid off Kobe style before anything comes out. 

Yeah, that struck me too.  A reasonable response would be “fuck you”.  Instead she goes with “but I want to be on camera in five years, waaah!”

So these are the “some Mexicans” that Trump presumed were “good people”. Now it all makes sense.

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.
