  1. The Beach incident is a nothing burger. Why is everyone willing to live a lie just to appease the woke mob? Grow a pair.

  2. Macklin seems like a great kid with a good head on his shoulders, keen to see how his career plays out, unreal interview!

  3. Celibrini seems like a really nice, well spoken kid. With that in mind, a thought from this interview:

    It's sad to me that almost every kid that makes it to the NHL comes from a rich family now. At least the Canadian kids. Just listening to him talk about his upbringing, and the opportunities and support he had. And I don't begrudge him, or his family that. I'm working hard in my life so that my (future) kids will have it better than I had it. So I'm not trying to dismiss his talent or work ethic, or what he's parents did help get him where he is today. That's the goal, what else do you work for if not to support your family and give your kids opportunities.

    It just strikes me that you don't hear about too many sons-of-plumbers or mechanics or other working class, or even middle class, families anymore.

    Hardly an original take from me. Hockey Canada knows the affordability of this sport has been an issue for a long time that just gets worse and worse. And now with summer ice, year round special coaching and skills development for the kids, it's just widening that gap. Have to think that there's a huge untapped pool of potential superstars out there who's parents just can't keep up. Just was pretty striking listening to him talk about his upbringing and family (and he's far from the only one). But again, seems like a very grounded, well spoken, nice young kid, which is a credit to the family as well.

  4. Okposo would make a great coach or commentator/analyst.. such a nice, well spoken guy.. happy to see him finally get the Cup!

  5. Okposo played like every shift he wanted to outdo his last one. Kind of like doing push-ups where you say "im going to do one more than the most I've ever done, and then you do". I felt like he played his heart out and he didn't score, but he really did grind the other team down. He was way more effective than numbers can show and I was glad he was a part of that run.

  6. Pasha needs to wake up from his psychedelic trip he took during the 2022-23 season. The Devils are a completely soft team that would do absolutely nothing in playoff hockey, this past season was the exact showing of what they truly are. They’re on offensively skilled team with weak defense and their goaltending was terrible yet now they finally got their new goalie in Markstrom but a goalie doesn’t wipe away your massive blue line struggles & I love Brendan Dillon but he’s not going to be the saving grace of your blue line. The Devils are a soft team with soft star players and all that team can currently add up to is being a team that makes the playoffs but gets destroyed by a much deeper team. The Devils are the Metro Division’s version of the Leafs.
