This is a coaching problem. There’s no reason why Nurse, Fillier, Watts shouldn’t be the most used line in Poulin’s absence.

They’ve been by far the best line in all 3 games. The only line that has shown any ability to pass the puck in this game.

They’re not substantially older than the US team… They are not moving the puck well at all, creating the illusion of poor team speed. But player to player skating is not the issue.

They’re completely disconnected as a team. Their passing has been off in all 3 games so far.

Maybe all these kids will grow up to be radical leftists… that would be the only good thing to potentially come out of this atrocity

I would also accept the first home game against the Yankees…. For obvious reasons.

He should either go up on opening day… or the first time the Royals come to town.

Anything after that is a disgrace.
February 6, 2026 at 9:39 PM
Probably best to sit this one out…

It’s not Russia’s athletes fault their dictator can’t keep his hands off Ukraine either… but they’re banned all the same.

If you wear the flag, you represent the country… Maybe if enough athletes get booed some of the men might join the women in speaking out against the administration.

*months after correct Yankees Rant*. Fixed it for you.

Counter argument: Pitting young hockey stars against each other eventually gave us Heated Rivalry... In a round-about way... So, maybe.... No?

Your joke didn't land... It's not everyone else's fault.

Eat the crow and move on. This is BlueSky not Twitter... We don't do this here.

So, essentially you're saying that the only thing that has saved the American healthcare system from political corruption is corporate greed....

The fall of the American empire is long overdue...

Are there flaws in our healthcare system? Of course there are. Healthcare is complex, and unpredictable. It would be weird if there weren't flaws...

But there's a reason why every top nation on earth has it. The benefits outweigh the costs by a mile... even purely from an economic sense.

The result will be a further limiting of the people who can access those hospitals' services, a reduction in the quality of those resources, or a loss of the high end talent that will attract the top paying consumers.

Either way, the loser here becomes the hospitals that don"t opt in.
December 11, 2025 at 12:36 AM
The overarching flaw in your theory is that hospitals won't opt in because it will hurt their bottom line...

Somehow, I think losing 90+% of your consumer base by not opting in is probably going to hurt their bottom line a bit. Either those hospitals will have to raise prices or cut costs...

As a Canadian, I can tell you your entire premise is ill-conceived.

Our tax structure is not 8-12 percentage points higher. In fact, the lowest tax brackets actually pay LESS in federal taxes than Americans.

Our Doctors and Nurses are well compensated, despite your insinuation....

Why is this written like it's a different Joey Gallo? lol

Yeah, but Dylan Cease!

I wouldn't buy that comp either... but with the way contracts are changing. Teams are paying for what you're going to do as opposed to what you have done more and more.

There's an argument to be made there if you're an agent. Especially given how thin the catcher market always is.
December 10, 2025 at 7:07 PM
I agree. Adley's camp is going to give the comp on Cal Raleigh too. It's right there... switch hitting catcher with power from both sides.

On the other hand, I won't mind Adley leaving the AL East. As inconsistent as he's been... He consistently crushes the Jays
December 10, 2025 at 7:01 PM
Until they trade Adley for a front line starter.
December 10, 2025 at 6:57 PM
Not to mention the fact that the Dodgers didn't really even overpay.

Either way you could argue the Mets could afford to beat any offer, but the quibbling over whether or not they should overpay isn't even a consideration here... Maybe David Stearns really believes in Devin Williams?
