Some people are saying that Russia is not in this Best on Best hockey tournament because of politics. That's just not the case. It's their Right Wing. I mean check out the Russian Right Winger below. They are clearly rotten on the right side. This Putin guy clearly just sets them back. #FourNations

Sean Hill scored the first goal in Anaheim Mighty Ducks' history on October 8th, 1993. #FlyTogether

There is nothing like Best on Best hockey. Everybody can moan about it being some mid-season money grab, (and it is) and then when it starts, the moaning stops. They're always fun! 🇨🇦🇸🇪🇫🇮🇺🇸 #fournations ...Oh, and Fuck Russia.

Some country swag in time for the 4 Nations Face-Off? Gotta make some Sweden and Finland too. 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇸🇪🇫🇮 #FourNations www.redbubble.com/people/hocke...

Paul Morris - the voice of Maple Leaf Gardens from 1961 until its closure in 1999. Mr. Morris was there to inform, not to entertain, and that's why he was so loved. RIP Mr. Morris. Godspeed. Some photos should have sound. Paul Morris' should. Here's a snippet of his distinct voice.

Update: Poilievre, O'Leary and Smith go unclaimed. Each has signed a contract to play in the KHL. All three are expected to thrive as they're better suited to the Russian game.

Breaking: Canada has traded Wayne Gretzky to the United States for Washington, Oregon, and California. Sources tell me Canada does not appear to be done dealing. Expect more trades soon. Pierre Poilievre, Kevin O'Leary & Danielle Smith have been placed on waivers.

This is from 1979. Canada was a great country then. It's a great country now. If you want to undermine those working to preserve it, fuck you. To those in 🇨🇦&🇺🇸 and around the 🌏 fighting fascism: Our numbers will only 📈 We didn't start it, let's finish it. We have to. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOY0...

Tonight's card: 1973-74 OPC - Gilles Meloche

Geoff Sanderson won the fastest skater competition at the 1997 NHL All Star Game. His son can really skate too.

Mark Recchi won the Stanley Cup 3x. In 1991 with Pittsburgh, 2006 with Carolina and his last year, in 2011, with Boston. Mark Recchi then announced on national TV that he was hanging them up. What a way to go out.

Mark Hardy gives M4P 1T6ike Keane a rough ride. (But Keane got right back up - because of course. Pound for pound, as tough as they come.

Hall of Famers Maurice Richard and Marcel Pronovost. Of course, The Rocket's number nine is retired but I really wish the Wings would retire Pronovosts' number three.

The Windsor Spitfires have had some sweet logos to go with their great name. Which ones is the best?

Good morning.

Tonight's card: 1963-64 Parkhurst - Carl Brewer.

1978. All aboard the Skalbania-Pocklington express for Winnipeg? Edmonton? Wayne Gretzky, Eddie Mio and Peter Driscoll pack their bags and leave for colder but greener pastures.

Rick Dudley rockig the sweatband on his noggin. Dudley was a 2x 30-goal man in the NHL and a 2x 40-goal man in the WHA. He was also an ELITE lacrosse player.
