Meanwhile, Ek hires employees who are actually writers or actually care to edit their work, but I can only assume Ek is the only one making decent money off this site.

I highly doubt anyone makes decent money off the site. It's actually a very clean webpage in a good internet browser like brave.

Being on the ice for numerous Cup celebrations. But not a single photo, or even a selfie...

Let's see you hold the cup and take a selfie at the same time. Yeah, thought so.

LMAO

Nobody knows what’s happening in 3 years. These projections are whack! Even if one plays along… we are talking about Crosby , Marchand and Bergeron are still playing hockey in 3 years, these three have been the best line/line1 on 2 consecutive Olympic gold medal winning teams. If your are now projecting them on the 4th line in 3 years ….that alone should tell you how deep Canada’s roster would.

Again I mean no disrespect to the US, they are deep. But to suggest that Canadias are not 2 teams deep in forward and defense is folly. Only disadvantage is goalie depth.

I agree, Hockey Canada is more committed to woke politic quotas especially now after they've been deconstructed. It'll be built back up in a marxist way where the best players won't be the ones who make the team it'll be quotas so what you'll see is Hockey Canada fall completely off the map as a hockey power and see the likes of USA, Sweden, Finland, Russia hell even Germany surpass them as a hockey nation.


Vomit inducing? yes. But here we are.

Yeah most comments are on the ridiculous Canadian team. But the US has numerous bizarre choices that will never, ever happen.

Tage Thompson is a 2nd line winger while Kyle Connor (not Conner) isn't on the roster? Thompson would be my 4th line center over Matthew Beniers (not Berniers).

First pair is Fox and McAvoy even though both tend to play right D.

Third pair is pretty funny. Seth Jones on the left and Werenski on the right. Neither guy plays that side.

Werenski is likely your top pair d-man beside Fox. Then Hughes-McAvoy. He's a partner that can let Hughes jump into the rush and cover his mistakes. Seth Jones is not even a consideration for this roster. Final pair might be something like Slavin or Miller beside a Matt Roy. Possibly Carlsson if his game holds up.

Not long ago it was reported that Jack Campbell was the best American goalie. I argued Hellebuyck and it wasn't even close. Glad to see he's starting. Mising Demko who could challenge Knight and Oettinger. But Hellebuyck is way ahead of anyone else.

All those other countries other than Russia are well on their way to Marxism as well. The NHL tweeted about propaganda science trannies recently.

The misspellings, the number of guys double listed, I would say thank God you’re not in charge of publishing a blog let alone responsible for roster construction, but unfortunately, only one of those is true…

How about we just put these up on the fridge for now and maybe later when we’ve thought things through we let some of the other grown ups have a read…?

Other than in goal, I disagree that USA is better. But goalie matters.

Connor Brown on Team Canada is a joke.
Connor Brown on the 2nd line of Team Canada is Ek at his finest.
