Two bad teams hurt their draft lottery odds; Stanley had highest TOI; the players that fans and team had largely written off were their biggest contributors to the win (91 and 34); Sawyer talked more about his vacation than the game and joked about MAGAbuyck flying around on Air Force One. Whatever

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school. They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

What idiot proposed poly posts in the first place? Oh.

re: hockey, Muhammad Ali, one of the greatest boxers ever to live, gave up three years in the prime of his life — years in which his fighting would have been at peak; actual money incalculable — rather than fight in an unjust war, so noping out on grandpa’s burger bash should be an easy choice

Generative AI understands that by the Canucks scoring, it means the Jets take the lead in losing the game in the race for the 1st overall pick

These players are morons, but they’re not stupid. “I can’t believe my political act is being politicized! It must be because of the haters. Didn’t you see us talk about and support the women’s team?” Your actions - especially behind closed doors - speak loudly enough for itself. Stop hiding.

Imagine getting the “privilege” of being honoured at the White House by being served McDonald’s, after just having come back from the culinary scene of Italy

No better metaphor for what association with Trump gets you than the guys who won Team USA's first gold medal since 1980 being forever remembered as the sad losers who were served cold McDonald's and bottled water at a lunch Trump didn't even bother showing up to.

Except they’re not pawns. This media framing of “these boys are being tricked and used as props” is so lame. They’re grown men with agency who know perfectly well what they’re doing. Matthew Tkachuk is on the President’s sports council, which is mandated to keep trans women out of women’s sports.

Bill Guerin has been accused of both covering up sexual harassment by a subordinate employee and verbally abusing a female subordinate employee, if you're wondering how he came to be friends with Kash Patel.

Will also remind folks that this event with good people doing good things only has less than 30 tickets left too:

Happy to make the PWHL game my next and only visit to Canada Life Centre for the rest of the season and foreseeable future. Only 300s (and not a lot of them) are left for those who may be interested.

Wonder if Hellebuyck takes offence to the part about fishing

I have no time for infantilizing grown adults who hide behind the veil of sports to mask reprehensible values

Just when I thought we hit the bottom, the trap door opens. Endless pit of infinite misery

Whoops

"Is Something Wrong with Weasel?"

t’s nice to be feted as a winner, as the U.S. men's Olympic hockey team has been. But who’s celebrating you – and why they’re doing it – matters more. Athletes would be wise to recognize that, in this climate, celebration is easily repurposed into political capital.

Besides punching down on the women's team, this president has torn down other American Olympians. Aren't these players the first to say this is a brotherhood? Does that not apply past men's hockey? www.nytimes.com/athletic/705...

the 'everything is so political' and 'everyone is so negative' comments are something else. I don't think anyone wanted this moment to be political -- but the men's team made it that. Accepting an invite to the SOTU made it that. www.huffpost.com/entry/jack-h...

Hellebuyck going to the White House means it's a GREEN LIGHT for reporters/fans to ask about Trump, the optics of supporting Trump and his fascist policies, etc. He's invited politics into the chat. Everything is on the table now. Let's see how media/fans handle it (and how quickly they let it go).

Take a fucking cue

Definitely miss Blake Wheeler in these moments.

I don’t expect Connor to make a grand statement about his politics and/or morals (nor do I expect his and mine to align, anymore), but I can at least appreciate that he’ll likely take the most obvious and easy excuse to say his team needed him instead of flying to meet Trump and attend the SOTU

Why do you have to make my call with the president POLITICAL Stop inserting POLITICS into my party with the FBI Director My boys trip with the secretary of defense has nothing to do with POLITICS Since when is it POLITICAL to rub the vice presidents tummy and give him a little smooch

Give them seats next to Epstein’s survivors

Going to the White House isn't political, says the guy who let the FBIs very own Make A Wish kid chug a beer with them in the locker room while the President called on speakerphone to shit on the Women's Team

I hope whenever Jack “just an athlete” Hughes or any other Team USA player goes to charitable events or engages in their own advocacy (in Jack’s case, LGBTQ+ and Pride campaigns), that someone follows them around with a picture of them shaking hands with Trump and his tiny little thumbs up pose

The same people who didn’t want to answer questions on the record about events in Minnesota because they don’t want to add fuel to the fire and want privacy, are the same ones willingly detouring from returning to their NHL clubs just to be used as political props for an administration of imbeciles

Would be alright if Selanne’s invitation to the 2026 Tim Horton’s Heritage Classic gets lost in the mail.

in public, the men's hockey team has been supportive of the women's team, going to games, cheering them on, saying they were inspired by the OT golden goal must be gutting to feel that support and then get first-hand evidence that behind closed doors, when it's just The Boys, they're laughing at you

Genuinely curious about which players from Canadian teams are smart enough to politely decline while saying something like "My team is in a playoff hunt and they need me, that's where all my focus is now" and which ones are... not that smart.

Extremely predictable (in fact, predicted by basically everyone) but still a little shocking that Team USA had its best Winter Olympics ever and the Trump administration didn’t celebrate any of the winners until the men’s hockey team, which they are celebrating A LOT

This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube. As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.

Sometimes wish there was a Left equivalent media machine that could turn Kash Patel flying overseas to party with the US hockey team while Nancy Guthrie is still missing into a weeks-long scandal but alas we don’t and there’s 9,000,000 other things

I, too, wish I could have a 3x Vezina, 3x NHL All-Star, 2x Jennings (solo), 1x Hart, 179.85 GSAx (1st place, 60 more than 2nd) since 2017-18 goaltender vindicate my fringe roster decisions by only allowing 1 goal against vs 5.61 xG in the Gold Medal game

You are a Fool. Absolute buffoonery encapsulated in one skeet.

The reason they keep bludgeoning you and players to “keep politics out of sport” is so they can amplify the vocal minority within it, and silence the others for fear of disturbing the “locker room culture”

Staring at the schedule like I’m Ryan Gosling in Blade Runner 2049

So many feel good moments for some players in such a quality hockey game even if the end result wasn't the one I desired. It will be unbearable when the worst-people-you-know inside and outside of the locker room tear down all the goodwill.

Hellebuyck, just stay over in Europe over the next few months - enjoy the sights, the relaxation, the food. Go ice-fishing up in the Nordic countries. There's nothing to come back to in Winnipeg for the remainder of this season.

No doubter for Hockey Hall of Fame now

Hate it. But both teams had to play it and Canada made the worst mistake. Too weak on the puck in their own zones too many times. MacKinnon for both of em

We may win, but I may die.
