Kronwall and Ericsson both have full NMCs, because of course you offer that to guys as valuable as those two

I was just thinking about how Canada is so stacked they could field a couple of teams. And then I about the two non-national teams, and an idea came to me. Let Canada have more than one team in the next tournament. Players from BC to Manitoba on one team, players from Ontario to the Maritimes on the other. Or three teams, Ontario, Quebec, and the Rest of Canada.

I think him fading down the stretch on a slippery track at the Preakness really hurt his chances. Plus it's really hard to find hoof shaped ice skates these days.

You have to buy packages of the whole thing rather than individual games, and when they start at $1500 no one cares. I just looked on their site and I can still find a group of 6 tickets in a row in the cheapest section on ticketmaster. I assume things aren't going well if that's the case. They're resorting to bus ads and stuff around Toronto. It's kinda sad.

No way IIHF will deny it, but the NHL might set the insurance rates so high it'll be even more costly for the national teams than it already is.
