Jack and Quinn Hughes are the two best three-on-three players in the NHL

I think that Jack and Quinn, honest to God are maybe at their positions the best three on three player. I'll throw Mc David in there too, obviously, but like for a forward and for a defenseman, like they have to be the two best in three on three, like in the NHL.

Subjective evaluation of skill by a professional player.

Duke is the best team in the country and it would be an all-time failure if they don't win the title

This is the best team in the country. It would be an all time epic failure if Duke doesn't win the national title. They are the first time I believe that a team has reached plus 40 in Ken Palm since 1999. Duke... This team has it all.

Duke was #1 overall seed and blew a 19-point halftime lead to lose 73-72 to UConn in Elite Eight. It was an all-time failure — Duke was 134-0 when leading by 15+ at half in tournament history.

If Duke loses this year, they will be a dynasty of chokers

If they lose this year, that would without question be the best two year... they'd be a dynasty of chokers. Like back to back all time choking losses in the NCAA tournament. I hope that doesn't happen, PFT. We would've never seen anything close to this before.

Duke blew a 19-point halftime lead in 2026 Elite Eight to UConn, one year after a 2025 Final Four collapse. Two consecutive years as top team with epic collapses validates 'dynasty of chokers.'

Duke not winning the national title would be the most consequential sports story of all time

I think it would be the biggest sports story of all time. If Duke did not win the national title this year. All time. I think all time story... Duke not winning at all this year would be the biggest, the most consequential sports story of all time. Not our lifetimes of all time.

Duke's Elite Eight collapse was a massive story but calling it 'the most consequential sports story of all time' is hyperbolic by nature. Subjective claim.

The 2026 US Olympic Hockey team will be remembered for generations

I'm sure in 40, 50 years they'll, they'll, they'll love for us to, to come talk to that, that group of players. But it, it really was a life-changing tournament. ... they'll be talking about our team for, for generations.

While likely true in sports history, it is ultimately a subjective measure of legacy.
