No Canadian NHL team will win the Stanley Cup this year

I don't think Canada is going to win the Stanley cup. You're a maple leafs hater. You're an Edmonton Oilers alum... I just think the Leafs have this vibe about them... I don't know if [the Oilers] can figure it out.

The Colorado Avalanche won the 2022 Stanley Cup. No Canadian team reached the final.

Eighty-three percent of the time the winner of Game 5 in a 2-2 series wins the series

If you look at it, that that is a correct, but the more important stat is 83% of the time that a series is tied 2-2, that winner of game five goes on to win the series.

According to historical NBA data, the winner of Game 5 in a 2-2 series has historically won the series about 82-84% of the time.

The Heat and Suns will both win their Game 6 matchups

I would bet that both of these teams that won tonight [Heat and Suns] are probably going to win game six.

The Heat defeated the 76ers in Game 6 (99-90), but the Suns lost to the Mavericks in Game 6 (113-86).

Skip Bayless definitely has burner accounts on Twitter

This is proof. Skip Bayless has burners. I've got a mission now for the next three weeks, which would be to find, skip Bayless's burners and see what the takes that he puts out on the burn. The ones that like, he doesn't think are ready for prime time yet the ones that he's testing out.

This is a widespread belief based on Skip occasionally replying to himself or referencing his own tweets, but it has never been formally proven or 'unmasked' like Kevin Durant's burners.

Connor McDavid is playing the best hockey of his career in this Olympic tournament

I don't know if McDavid's ever been this good... It's incredible. Like I think he gave guys maybe six or seven grade A scoring chances. He had seven shots on his own. Then the Finnish coach today said, yeah, McDavid is the best player in this tournament by a mile.

McDavid's brilliance is widely acknowledged, though 'best ever' is always debatable.

Sidney Crosby's Olympic injury is likely an MCL sprain

He was trying to stabilize on his right leg and it just, it opened up, which to me speaks MCL sprain... I'm hoping it's not too bad and it's just a grade one, maybe two MCL sprain.

Crosby's injury status was a major storyline during the 2026 Olympics.

Team USA has a better defensive corps than Canada, but Canada has significantly better forwards

The D's better overall. I believe their forwards are significantly better than ours... Crosby being out, it's scary. And if he's out, that's a big difference... On D our D's better, their forwards are better.

A widely held scouting assessment of the two 2026 Olympic rosters.
