Mentioned here before Mike Sullivan has been close friend of my brother and mine going back to 1981. Mike and my brother were in each other's wedding parties.

Thrilled for him and his son in law Charlie McCavoy. Been a brutal 9 months for Charlie with staph infection at 4 Nations then taking slap shot to the face earlier this year.

Team USA is basking in Canadian tears
I did not know that. Sully is a good guy. As a Penguins fan, I really appreciated his time in the burgh. I appreciate him even more now. This will be his legacy. Good for him.

At the same time, I'm very happy the Pens got rid of him lol

Hats off to them …but it’s many multiple iterations of a niche sport. And one of those iteration is equal to USA winning at hockey? I don’t think so!
TBH, the Olympics are chock full of niche sports—both winter and summer. It's kind of the point of the whole thing to bring all those sports together.

Table tennis and badminton. When I was a kid, I played table tennis in the basement when the weather was bad. I played badminton in the back yard during cookouts. But they’re Olympic sports which only a couple countries truly care about.

Maybe one of the best scoring D. One of the D better at D is Jacob Slavin
Makar's elite at all levels. He's not Karlsson or Letang where he's strictly an offensive D.
Not saying he's Nicklas Lidstrom defensively but no one is

You said he is the best defensively. I’m saying he isn’t. We don’t have to agree.

But did you ever play Jarts?

I have an original nearly mint condition set in my possession.

I said he's the best D in the league. The comment I replied to didn't say defensive defenseman. It's said best D in the league. There's zero argument about who's the best defenseman in the game.
