JACK HUGHES, AN AMERICAN HERO 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅
keep milking it
We learned that team USA associates with a man that actively protects pedophiles. Which brings to question if they themselves are in to pedophilia.
On thay website whu does Dylan larkin have a usa/canada tag? Hah like what? Dudes ever only played for american teams and is an American.
From what I saw during the Olympics, Quinn Hughes played better than Makar who was prone to mistakes
Like you self-mockery (your comment about milking the Olympics): Milk it as much as you like, we are eager to listen 🙂
Dylan Larkin did great of face-offs, great back checking, and all the dirty stuff a team needs to have.
Seider – nothing more needs said.
Werenski being a +8 at the tournament is outstanding. I was hearing complaints from critics about why Sullivan was not giving him more ice time. Apparently his ice time was very low given the nature of the player(I think he only played 12 minutes in the OT game) I really don't think there's that much of a wide margin between him and Quinn and compared to Quinn being only +2 I would have to agree🤷♂ As much as we all like Makar, he seems to be a defensive liability🤷♂ Im seeing too much 'boneheadedness' in his play. That first goal by Boldy is something that should stick with him for the rest of his life. Just unacceptable and of course he was on the ice for the OT goal🤦♂..on what was no doubt the greatest 3 man team on the planet mind you so huge advantage there! I also agree Finland would have beat Canda with a healthy Barkov. Never forget Canadians soy boys 2 Oscar worthy flops that got them 2 penalties that got them 2 goals and the the only even strength goal they could muster should have been over turned for goalie interference so technically they should have been shut out! As for Larkin, watching the team if I didn't know better I would have thought he was Captain. He was everywhere. It's clear he is a leader if not the leader in the clubhouse. Good for Larks!!! Final thought, as cool as these hockey Olympics were, they would have been much better if Russia was involved. They better not EVER do that again!
Every learned learned the Larkin is in fact next in line of Yzerman, Fedorov. Larionov, Draper, Hank & Pavel for Red Wings elite two way centers & leaders. Some of us knew it, but the World knows now!!!
It’s about time Larks starting getting some recognition. They played Larks, Hughes, and Werneski against Mac, McDavid, and Makar that’s not by accident, and what happens ?
