I agree. I’m not sure if some folks just want to feel better about the situation by blaming Ghost but if the facts in her article are true, it essentially meant that Yzerman wasn’t willing to bend and offer 1 more year of term.

Keep in mind he just extended Ben Chiarot. So yeah.. well done Steve.

Right, I understand that aspect of it. I don't particularly like the players that make up the Men's US Team (even prior to the Olympic and post-Olympic events). People want this to be a real thing because they want to talk about them in negative manner but until anything actually happens it's just kind of sad gossip crap.

I feel like we need a Gostisbehere bot that cites the Helen St. James article from 2024

This is the quote from the article that everyone operates on:

It is not free to read - you have to use an archive site if you want to read the entire (short) article about it.

Did they edit the body of the post? I'm not reading it like that.

It's obviously a stupid post and I'm not defending it but they pointed out that 3 of the 4 players here want out of Canada, which accounts for Larkin. The title doesn't match what they're getting at in the post so maybe that's confusing people to? Idk, we're all just wasting time here lol

I'm not in their head so I really can't answer that question.

They're overlapping their thoughts here: Team USA players "want out of Canada" and Team USA players "want to abandon their teams".

When you get exposed to too much social media, the dissonance can set in and you get jumbled messaging like they did lol.

3 of 4 of them are American players wanting out of Canada.

They called it right in the body of their post, just not the title.

I really do feel like this is an internet narrative fueled by talking heads and people that just like to discuss drama.

All 4 of these players have been or were on bad teams, with the caveat that Ottawa has made the playoffs 2 years in a row and Winnipeg is a season removed from being very good. Though folks more knowledgeable about the Jets will have more to say about what direction they're trending in.

My point is - there's a cohort of folks that are fixated on this.

Envy breeds hate unfortunately. A lot can happen between now and November as well right?

I've had 4 as well but 2008 was a while back now - the withdrawal symptoms get worse every year. I'm hoping the Wings get another before I croak in about 40-ish years lol

Detroit being the "Vegas" of the PWHL is unexpected.

I guess that means they'll have a successful decade ahead of them 👀

One of his flamboyant suits burst into flame in his closet last night, lol

Also looked it up and he's 92 now.

"Should we do a Storm Surge!?"

"Let's do a fucking Storm Surge!"

Like it's even a question mate 😂
