- Another view as McDavid dekes out Slavin. Fastest hands in the West.
00:00 - Don Cherry was not complaining about immigration. He was complaining about immigrants who come here for a better life, but don’t respect Canadian traditions, such as the Poppy. At least that is how I heard it. Others evidently disagree.Ron MacLean calls Poppygate Don Cherry's "exit strategy" after illness | The Kingston Whig Standard thewhig.com/news/ron-macle…
- Corey Perry, the master of “creating space” for himself
00:00 - It's a national shame that this great Canadian was ever derided and cancelled. It says a lot about how sanctimonious some Canadians became this past decade.Don't forget your poppy!
- Kate, the hero we need
00:00 - Over my dead body. You?A petition to rename Wayne Gretzky Drive in Edmonton has gathered over 11,000 signatures, questioning his loyalty to Canada. Suggested alternatives include Terry Fox Drive and Joey Moss Drive.

00:00 - I also like this angle of the best sports moment of the year to date.
00:00 - Fastest end-to-end goal in NHL history, no? Stretch pass, relay, and McDavid again going Full Connor McDavid. It never gets old.

- Still kind of mind-blowing that the third biggest contract of the NHL free-agency frenzy went to: Cody Ceci. $18 million.
- The majesty and precision of the most dangerous shooter in hockey. Leon Draisaitl and The Executioner’s Shot.
