The Pittsburgh Penguins might miss the 2018 playoffs

That's how it looks right now [that the Penguins won't make the playoffs]. I refuse to believe it because even though they're in last or second to last in the division, they're only like five or six points out... But they look like they're in a bad place right now.

The Penguins turned their season around and made the playoffs as the 2nd seed in the Metropolitan Division.

The divisional round is the best weekend of football

I would like to contend that the divisional round is the best weekend of football. Saturday and Sunday. It is a full weekend of football, and you're going to miss this. Actually, just one week when there are just two games left.

This is a subjective opinion on which weekend is the best to watch.

The Falcons will win the NFC

I've been on the Falcon bandwagon. I am on their bandwagon of thinking that they could win the NFC. I said it a couple months ago. I am going down with the ship, so I'm taking the Falcons. I'm taking them all the way to the Super Bowl.

The Falcons lost to the Eagles in the Divisional Round (this very weekend), making this prediction incorrect.

The Eagles will cover +2.5 against the Falcons

I like the Falcons too. But I'm going to take the Eagles. Hank's on the Eagles plus two and a half.

The Eagles won the game 15-10, easily covering the +2.5 spread.

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.
