Wow, guess the story is he wasn't ****ing around wanting $14mm/yr and the Avalanche said no.... didn't see that coming.

Wow...

Knew it was a possibility after the season if Mikko didn't budge a bit on the numbers, but wow. Sure didn't see a midseason trade coming. Kind of an end to an era.

Canada is coming for that Four Nations title.

US/Canada with 3 fights in the first 10 seconds LMAO

Old time freaking hockey, love it!! That was wild, like a scene out of Slap Shot!

Better save some of these for the final next week

Why didn't the Chiefs play with this much passion last week?

Mcdavid is ridiculous

Championship fatigue per unnamed coach

Binnington definitely shouldn’t be starting for this team

Great game so far. I try to imagine another country in the world someday being better at football than the USA is. That's what Canada has been feeling and is only going to feel more of as years go on unfortunately for them. World Juniors You could argue the USA has passed them

Better comparison would be the world closing the gap on the USA in basketball (which has happened significantly in the past few decades)

Literally only two countries in the world play American football and one is tiny in compared to the others, so the USA will never lose ground on that

This game is fantastic.

Sure. I was just making a point of what it would feel like, not what could happen. Basketball is a fair comparison even though it's not the heart and soul anymore. It definitely is embarrassing when USA basketball loses.
