San Jose Sharks forward Evander Kane has criticized the NHL department of player safety – shortly after he was suspended three games for elbowing.

I’m hoping Cody Fajardo (fuh-JAR-dough) has a big year in 2020. 🙂
The CFL’s Randy Ambrosie getting krazy again talking nonsense with his version of playoff realignment. All they need is a 8 game tournament based on.
1 vs 8,
2 vs 7,
3 vs 6,
4 vs 5.
9th team too bad you don’t qualify for the dance.
I would disagree. There are already too many losers (teams with losing records) in the playoffs. In fact, I think crossovers should only occur if the team has a winning record. Otherwise you don’t deserve to be there any more than the other division’s third place team.
Agreed, It’s high time some of these pathetic CFL organizations/teams start pulling up their own socks, put on their big boy pants and be accountable to their on field product.
