Keith YandleThe 2026 Gold Medal will grow US hockey by bringing in kids from non-traditional states

I choose to win with class. Does it hurt for Canada that I graciously said hockey is our fourth like the fourth sport we're best at? We're football, baseball, basketball... and then hockey.

Big CatOlympic coaches should receive medals along with the athletes
Did you know that the coaches don't get medals? That's bullshit. Bizarre. [PFT: They get the stuffed animal though.] Oh man. [Big Cat:] Could you imagine being a Canadian and that is your sport and it's everything... and then afterwards they're like, 'Hey, here's a Labu Booo.'

Keith YandleSidney Crosby is like Tom Brady — built differently and can play at a high level for as long as he wants
People think Sid's like on his way out. Like you gotta put him in the same category as Tom Brady. Like these guys, they're built differently. They can play for however long they want and put up great numbers. Like he just had his 21st season of over a point a game, which is unheard of.
