@The_Real_Moj Legit question, what is the usa's "sport" world wide. Baseball? Football? Hockey? Basekball?Golf?
English

Anyone else find it interesting that the mighty US has only won the WBC once? I thought it was their national pastime? #worldbaseballclassic

So, #Canucks were able to move David Kampf (WSH) and Lukas Reichel (BOS).
But Evander Kane and Teddy Blueger were not traded.
English

Patrik Allvin claims that the #Canucks didn’t get any formal offers on Teddy Blueger or Evander Kane.

@HockeyFirst1 "Superstar" players that make the $ he does, make the players they play with better, not the other way around.
English

People want to blame Petey when he plays with Kane and DeBust …..#Canucks blame Allvin Rutherford

@ThomasDrance @NiqBets26 Canucks will end up with 3rd overall pick regardless. Its the "cancuck" way
English

@NiqBets26 yeah they're both No. 1 OA prospects, but McKenna is the right pick at No. 1 imo.
Problem is whether Stenberg is ahead of McKenna for bad reasons (like U20 performance). Not like we should be deferring to the expertise of a team w. VAN's draft record.

🇮🇹 The speech that all of Italy heard. And that the world must hear.
In a country that will host the Olympic Games, Italian Senator and Vice President of the Human Rights Commission Filippo Sensi took the floor and said what should have been said out loud long ago.
He called it a disgrace that the International Olympic Committee disqualified Ukrainian skeleton athlete Vladyslav Heraskevych.
Not for doping.
Not for violating fair play.
But for… memory.
For a helmet bearing the faces of Ukrainian athletes — his friends, colleagues, champions — killed by Russia.
The IOC stated that the helmet “did not comply with regulations.”
And then Sensi asked a question that brought silence to the chamber:
Does aggressive war comply with regulations?
Is there a separate technical protocol for it?
The correct angle of a missile strike?
The permissible size of a crater?
An athlete prepares for the Olympics for years.
A Ukrainian athlete trains between air raid sirens, in shelters, under news of the dead.
He overcomes fear, exhaustion, and loss.
And he steps to the start line not only for a medal — but for the right to exist.
And he is suspended… for remembering.
Because memory is the most dangerous substance. It is hard to add to a prohibited list. But apparently, someone would very much like to.
The senator named names. Just a few among more than 650 Ukrainian athletes killed by Russia:
▪️ Yevhenii Malyshev, 19, biathlete — killed in Kharkiv.
▪️ Mariia Lebid, 15 — missile strike in Dnipro.
▪️ Dmytro Sharpar, 25, figure skater — killed in Bakhmut.
▪️ Volodymyr Androsiuk, 22, track and field athlete — also Bakhmut.
▪️ Daria Kurdel, 20 — missile strike in Kharkiv.
▪️ Alina Perehutova, 14 — standing in line for water with her mother in Mariupol.
▪️ Maksym Halinichev, 22, boxer — killed defending Luhansk region.
▪️ Viktoriia Ivashko, 9, judoka — missile strike in Kyiv.
▪️ Kateryna Diachenko, 11, gymnast — airstrike on Mariupol.
▪️ Karina Bakur, 17, world kickboxing champion — shielded her father with her body.
These were the faces Heraskevych wanted to carry with him to the start line.
So that they would “compete” alongside him.
So that their dream would not die with them.
And for that, he was punished.
Because it turns out that the faces of murdered athletes violate regulations.
But their absence on the track does not.
In his speech, Sensi said the most important thing:
The Olympic Committee did not lose an athlete.
It lost its most valuable medal — its conscience.
Sport without memory is just a show.
Sport without humanity is just decoration.
Sport that fears truth is not about peace.
The Olympic movement was born from the ideals of honor, dignity, and unity.
Yet today Ukrainian athletes must prove not only their strength — but their right to remember their fallen.
And if memory becomes a violation of regulations — then the problem is not the helmet.
The world must hear this.
Because silence is also a position.
And indifference is also a choice.
Memory cannot be disqualified.
And conscience cannot be added to a prohibited list.
🇺🇦 We remember every one of them.
And we will not allow their names to be erased.

@ThomasDrance Fair enough, however 2 months into it compared to the 4-5 years it's going to take might be a different take.
English

More than a narrow win in a dull mid-week bad weather game against a non-premium opponent, it was the supportive environment at Rogers Arena that stood out Thursday night.
It was said Vancouver couldn’t handle a rebuild. That appears to have been wrong. nytimes.com/athletic/70093…

@OverDrive1050 Leafs haven't had real leadership in the entire Matthes era. Number 1 reason they don't go anywhere come playoff time. Just the facts.

"The captain should speak 82 times in a regular season." 👀
Hayes calls out Auston Matthews to speak to the media more.

@Beggalicious @mickey_canuck Maybe by leaf fans . I am pretty sure fans of 30 or so other nhl teams dont have this as a "must watch" on their calendar!
English

@foxron72 @mickey_canuck This will arguably be the most watched game of the year?
English

@ThomasDrance Subway and spicy cheetoos. The path to 900plus goals in the Nhl!!!
English

@TSN_Sports Sounds Vancouver Canucks owner and this guy are related!!!
English

@FarhanLaljiTSN @DonTaylor5 Were those good calls to end the game? After all that was not called seems odd they decided to throw flags that last drive???
English

@DonTaylor5 That it was a 3-point OT game with a 5-1 turnover edge for Broncos was wild
