Ryan WhitneyAndrei Vasilevskiy is the greatest 'clutch' goaltender in NHL history
Vasilevskiy in the last, I think eight games where you could knock a team out being eight and oh, giving up two goals. That has to be up there in terms of mindblowing stats in terms of a guy at the biggest moment being better than anyone else has ever been.

HankThe Celtics will still win the NBA Finals because they perform best when their backs are against the wall
I still think [the Celtics] are going to win the series. I do think that the last 10 minutes of game four and five, there was just some infuriating plays... But I do think that it's very relatable of the Celtics to just put everything off until the end... They're procrastinating. And then when their backs are against the wall, that's when they perform the best.
Big CatNeither the Warriors nor the Celtics are truly great teams compared to historical NBA champions
Is there a chance that neither of these teams are that great? I keep thinking that one team's going to assert themselves one or the other. And it's like, both these teams are very good. I'm saying neither of these teams are like, great... whoever wins this, I'm not going to walk away and be like, that team was one of the best championship teams I've ever seen.
HankNBA teams from the 1990s would be killed by the Warriors because they didn't do cardio
Any team from the nineties that had to deal with the fucking pick and rolls and like the movement that the Warriors do, like they would die. NBA players didn't run. They didn't do cardio in the nineties. They would be killed on the court.

View profileRyan WhitneyConnor 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.
Ryan WhitneySidney 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.
Ryan WhitneyTeam 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.
