🚨BRUTAL🚨
Team USA slugger Kyle Schwarber received a silver medal from the commissioner and RIPPED IT OFF before he got to the dugout.
It is awful that the Team USA players are being forced to accept the second-place medals on the field after the loss.
@reporterchris You didn’t do anything when knies got choked slammed in the playoffs by Bennett! You didn’t do anything when Tavares got hit by Perry! You didn’t do anything when Stolarz got elbowed just stop with the stunned surprise
Craig Berube says he's revisited the #leafs lack of response to the Auston Matthews hit almost daily with his team since it happened last Thursday:
"Sometimes it's a wake up call."
@BehnWilsonNHL@NHLFlyers@FlyersAlumni I appreciate your reply. The point I want to make is that, generally, players who fight don't pick fights with players who don't fight. Schultz and Bridgman both 'picked' on Salming, who was not a fighter. That's 'offside' for me, a longtome hockey observer. #thecode
Came across these photos of the late Mel Bridgman, my former @NHLFlyers teammate and great friend, in an old family album recently. They show a different side of him than when he was on the ice and I wanted to share. #MelBridgman#Flyers@FlyersAlumni
@FirstUp1050@CarloColaiacovo Hit them right in the pride. The ultimate (albeit, too late) wake up call. We can only hope it bleeds into next season. Sad that the group couldn’t come together earlier. That’s an indictment on everyone involved with this team. It needs to be addressed in the off-season & beyond
"There was a sense of embarrassment inside that locker room."
This morning on #FirstUp, @CarloColaiacovo explained why this #LeafsForever team has stepped up and played a strong brand of hockey since Gudas' hit on Matthews. Do you agree? Let us know 👇
@nottheqb@AJScholz24@FanDuel@DraftKings Don’t be afraid to add players from lower ranked teams if those skaters are on hot streaks. They may be playing for their next contracts and/or feeling no pressure.
Hey #PuckCast listeners, @AJScholz24 & I are recording the next episode of our pod today, so look for it to drop around noon EDT. We talk about the Gudas and Malkin suspensions and check out hot players, new injury notes and get you ready for dfs play @fanduel and @DraftKings
You cant tell me that there was no way Bo Groulx could have played a few games for this team in the middle of the season when the games actually mattered and Calle Jarnkrok was still playing every night #LeafsForever
It’s time for Prime Minister @MarkJCarney to join me and millions of our fellow Canadians in supporting the appointment of Don Cherry to the Order of Canada, one of our nation’s highest honours.
This shouldn’t even be up for debate. Don Cherry is a Canadian icon, a hockey legend and is loved by Albertans. He’s not just one of the greats, his word and opinion about our national sport is still treated as hockey gospel by millions of Canadians.
His contributions to Canadian sport and culture are undeniable, and the work he did to honour our nation’s veterans was an invaluable contribution to our country. He will forever hold a special place in the hearts of Canadians.
So, put the puck in the net and give Grapes the recognition he deserves.

@shirleyturnbull@ABDanielleSmith@MarkJCarney He was paid for being outspoken. Some people agreed with him others didn’t, but everyone listened because of his platform. He is a very proud Canadian. That’s undeniable.
@statsman22@ABDanielleSmith@MarkJCarney Of his time, perhaps. Would not make the cut today. He was controversial, and he was fired from his job because of it. He could be an immigrant himself for all the good that would do him. It doesn't negate the fact that not all Canadians feel the way you do.
@HugoMonster96@ABDanielleSmith@MarkJCarney His late wife was an immigrant, born in Italy. You are off base and probably a little jealous of his fame. You’re also unaware of his many good deeds. He’s only guilty of being a proud Canadian.
The Order of Canada honours people who bring Canadians together. Don Cherry’s legacy includes decades of commentary that often targeted immigrants and marginalized groups. That record sits uneasily with an honour meant to reflect the country’s commitment to inclusion and respect. Considering Alberta is marred by immigration policy and secession politics, I don't believe AB Premier @ABDanielleSmith should be the one advocating for Don to receive Canada's highest award for inclusion. Let Canadians decide.
@ABDanielleSmith@MarkJCarney He was a ranting racist who sometimes had valid arguments about hockey. His job was to stir emotions and get people arguing.
He was the 1990s version of today's social media influencer. Ragebait worked far better than reasonable discussion, and he knew it.
