RIP ✌️buyers' market✌️ Nic Roy trade grades with @domluszczyszyn.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/709...

New TAHS — 25 good minutes with Chris Johnston on trade deadline intel. - What's up with the Colton Parayko trade? - Could Robert Thomas still be moved? - Is the Sergei Bobrovsky talk serious? Plus bits on the Maple Leafs, Red Wings, Mammoth, etc. 👇👇👇 pod.fo/e/39d741

NEW TAHS Please, Buffalo, don’t give up on Robert Thomas Plus six other teams we’re begging to do something pod.fo/e/39cbdb

been quietly boycotting The Pitt until it's revealed that one of the nurses lives with a half-mile radius of Big Jim's.

imagine waking up to see that someone started an illegal war while wearing your favorite hat. that’d suck so bad

I’ve done it accidentally and for free, joke’s on me

New TAHS The Olympic party is over, and there's still cleaning to do, largely because the players who politicized the Olympics continue to act as if they didn't. podfollow.com/the-athletic... — with @shaynagoldman.bsky.social and @russohockey.bsky.social

“And I say, no no no. You’re going to win again. You’re going to win big. You’re gonna win bigger than ever, and to prove that point — to prove that point — here with us tonight is a group of winners who just made the entire nation proud: the men’s gold medal Olympic hockey team.”

"People are asking me — please, please, please Mr. President, we’re winning too much. We can’t take it anymore. We’re not used to winning in our country. Until you came along, we’re just always losing, but now, we’re winning too much. www.nytimes.com/athletic/706...

NEWS: Twenty of the 25 members of the U.S. men’s Olympic hockey team plan to attend the State of the Union, according to USA Hockey. Kyle Connor, Jake Guentzel, Jackson LaCombe, Brock Nelson, Jake Oettinger are the five who aren't going. www.nytimes.com/athletic/706...

NEWS: Jack and Quinn Hughes are trying some degree of damage control over the what Jack called “backlash” to their response to Trump's remark about the U.S. women's team. Sifting through that, along with what the rest of the day in D.C. will bring. www.nytimes.com/athletic/706...

not sure how the "it's not politics" crowd is going to square having hockey players attend the "cheer the politicians i like and boo the ones i don't" gala. should be an interesting and memorable evening!

already happened — honestly think it’s MacKinnon

NEWS: The U.S. women will not be attending the State of the Union. Full statement in the story. Trump had previously said the White House was "going to have to bring the women’s team" in a celebratory call the U.S. men. www.nytimes.com/athletic/706...

I am coming back around on like 3x3 OT because goals come on skill plays, and any individual mistake can be the thing that blows it. They don't end on fluky goals.

100%. McDavid made an ill-advised solo effort and turned it over (his second in OT). Makar made a bad gamble that sprung a 3v1. MacKinnon did … I have no idea what, and lost a puck battle to Werenski. Forget Binnington, Canada’s three best players completely screwed the pooch on the deciding play.

The Canadian skaters were better for most of the gold-medal game. Very true. They also got completely worked over at the most crucial moment, and they can't blame Connor Hellebuyck for that. That wasn't getting goalied. It was getting outplayed. youtube.com/shorts/NK_-rRdM3z4?si=hRWLx5vjIrughydp

NEW: Forty-six years later, USA Hockey finally has a new story to tell. And the way this game was going, it was a little miraculous, too. My column from Milan on Hellebuyck, Hughes and hockey history: www.nytimes.com/athletic/706...

Jack Hughes, golden boy — and I am still astounded by how poorly Canada played the game-winning sequence. That plus much much more on the TAHS gold reaction pod with @mbultman.bsky.social @jessegranger.bsky.social and @marklazerus.bsky.social in Milan. YouTube: www.youtube.com/live/W6xhNTN...

The NBC broadcast didn’t show a replay of MacKinnon whiffing on the open net, so I went back and watched it … Legit astounding.

making the silver medalists hang around to receive a stuffed animal is truly sadistic. reads like a humiliation ritual.

Handshakes are over, time for all those dudes to individually apologize to Sidney Crosby.

Players have to keep their gloves on and try to work one of those six-button Sega Genesis controllers, it is wild

Brady mains Goro

If the game is still tied after 20 minutes of 3-on-3, they wheel a TV out to center ice and play Mortal Kombat II until a champion is crowned.

Could be something, could be nothing, but Quinn Hughes, when it was 4-on-4, very casually stopped McDavid from getting in clear on Hellebuyck.

they’re disrespecting him, most of all

Good on Celebrini for shooting the puck there.

the idea that this game could be settled by 3-on-3 is sickening and perverse

smart of Makar there not to stickhandle directly into Hellebuyck

that’s the last thing you can do

absolutely not

no

You simply must tip your cap

Special Saturday TAHS The U.S. and Canada men's teams are above criticism. No matter what happens tomorrow, you simply must tip your cap. Also, me and @downgoesbrown.bsky.social talk about the bronze-medal game. Pretty boring, and Finland loves that. pod.fo/e/394086

About to go live on YouTube with @seangentille.bsky.social with bronze medal game reactions plus gold medal showdown thoughts. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jS7_...

crazy that Brock Nelson is the first person in his family to play hockey. no one ever brings it up

Watching Tom Wilson on that Canada goal. It appears that Spencer Carbery had a pretty accurate read. 👇👇 www.nytimes.com/athletic/705...

Nick Suzuki had a heavily burdened mind playing late in the third period of Canada's quarterfinals, down a goal, feeling repsonsible for it. And yet, he still had clarity of mind when it mattered most and delivered the biggest goal of his life. www.nytimes.com/athletic/705...

U.S women's hockey won gold. Going live with @shaynagoldman.bsky.social and @haileysalvian.bsky.social in mere moments. www.youtube.com/live/pGJptgi...

JT Miller lost a board battle to Zibanejad that led directly to the goal, btw. Pretty funny!

"Just sitting around the house tonight w my dog. Felt like I should be doing something important, but couldn't put my finger on it." - Jason Robertson

if crosby misses any amount of time due to ... whatever happened there, the discourse is going to be absolutely suffocating. prepare yourselves for it.

peacock constantly running a commercial featuring a) Mr. Beast and b) constant Slack chimes - pure diabolism. very evil and very nasty!

if NHL playoff games were decided by three-on-three OT, mitch marner's life would be very different.

is there a nickname for the McDavid-MacKinnon-Celebrini line? Is there a phrase to describe it?
