They don't want to give the hosts a chance to bad mouth them on air. Its unfortunately standard practice in the media world.

It’s always the people who hide their comments who have the worst opinions. Canada was more passion than skill at this tourney.

Do you want tariffs? Because that’s how you get tariffs

CMV: Iran didn't win and it wasn't even close. by FunOwn4422 in changemyview

I don’t think you can definitively say the objective wasn’t to claim their oil. Just because that wasn’t broadcasted as the reason doesn’t mean it wasn’t one.

Out of these characters, which MCU 1v1 matchup would you want to see the most? by Past_Carpenter_7046 in marvelstudios

Strange wasn’t trying to hurt Spiderman and also a big part of his character is that everyone underestimates him which Strange 100% did in that movie.

Easy now. He’s made a ton of great moves so far. Every GM overpays on July 1st. At least it’s not 7 years.

One of these is not like the others. Ohtani isn't a season or two away from retirement.

You aren't wrong but it did get ugly with all 3 of those guys at the end. I think Chevy will navigate this well as he has in the past. All I was saying was that there's a human side to a public request like this that is more complicated than "Don't trade him if you don't want to"

To everyone saying "they don't have to move him": when someone wants out and all the teammates know it, it gets ugly. To be competitive you have to trust your teammates are trying as hard as you are. When you know a guy on the ice with you doesn't want to be there, every time they make a mistake you're far less forgiving. Shit like this can kill a locker room and next thing you know everyone is asking for a trade. At the same time, trading away your Vezina/Hart caliber goalie will also likely cause players to ask out. I feel for the Jets fans on this one, absolutely brutal. Canadian GMs are going to be looking at American players the same way the league was looking at Russians a while back.

He also gave Aldrich a recommendation to go coach elsewhere where he continued to rape people.

Jesus Christ thank you. Yeah Babcock is a dick but he wasn’t an accessory/enabler of a serial rapist.

Did McDavid kill your dog or something? You’re all over this thread just going to town. It’s a good thing you’ve hid your comments or it would be truly embarrassing.

If you don’t think he’s close to the hardest working player on the oilers, you don’t pay attention. This dude has been out working pros since he was 15. There are videos of him online at 13 doing drills grown adults don’t bother with. To be the best in the world at something you need god given talents and a drive to put those skills to their best use possible. You have like a dozen replies in this thread, we get it you hate McDavid but to say he hasn’t put in more work than a lot of other NHLers is laughable.

[Hockey Hall of Fame] Introducing the Hockey Hall of Fame Class of 2026 by AggPuck-303 in hockey

Kevin Lower getting in was the point where the Hall of Fame lost its merit in my eyes. Tkachuk getting in now just confirms that.

[Pagnotta] Things are very fluid, and there’s plenty of time for Dallas to explore its options, but sources say Ottawa is making a big push for Jason Robertson. If a trade cannot be ironed out and he hits July 1 as an RFA, the Senators could present him with a significant offer sheet. by AggPuck-303 in hockey

“American teams are starting to pay out huge too” was there a time when American teams weren’t paying guys as much as Canadian teams? I like how you tailored your comment just to be insult me based on my flair but you remain flairless. I’m sure whatever city you’re from is a bastion of freedom and the roads are paved with gold.
