Quinn Hughes after ruining the Wild's prospect pool:
A couple of Bill Guerin quotes about Quinn Hughes today, who didn’t sound all that confident: “There’s nothing to talk about right now. What am I going to do, say ‘Please, please, please?’” On the hypothetical in which QH still hasn’t made a decision after a while: “I haven't really decided, at some point in time I'll have to try to figure things out and see what’s best for the team. I know one thing’s for sure: having Quinn on our team is what’s best for the team. And, you know, I don't know. I’ll be completely honest with you, I don’t know. I don't know what’s going to happen. I don't know what I’m going to do. There’s no date. What we're doing right now is focusing on our team and trying to win hockey games. That’s really it. I think some people want to make this more complicated than it really is — being the media. And it’s not that complicated." #NJDevils #MNWild

Kyle Kulinski on Trump: “He’s a blackmailed pedophile. That’s what we’re looking at here, a man who is completely and utterly owned. Trump sues everybody for any reason, but weird, he’s never sued anybody who called him a pedophile. Strange! He wages lawsuits over polling data he doesn’t like, but he never sues anybody that calls him a pedophile. What does that tell you?”

Toronto Sports Network is jealous that someone on a different Canadian team is getting attention for his interviews. Nope. Can't have that. We need to keep giving all the media attention to those boring interviews by Matthews, Tavares, and the rest of the Leafs.

Oh look, more evidence that pettersson was tough to coach, work and play with, and had a bad reputation and low stock around the league—exactly what those criticizing him have been saying all along. But I guess it's good he's finally producing now when there's zero pressure. – at Richmond, British Columbia
To be clear, it was Satiar that talked about Pettersson's reputation. Here's the full quote.

Riddle me this #Canucks fans: for 2 years a big chunk of the fanbase stand by EP40 after he gets the bag ($11.6) and then falls off precipitously Fans dogpile QH43 after giving everything he had on the ice, bc he lets up for a couple gms at the end due to the epic disfunction…

How are the 19 year olds doing in the AHL? Well, Braeden Cootes is an absolute gamer.

Anyone else noticing that the rage baiting political posts have almost completely stopped since Ukraine hit those Russian data centres? Another reminder that a lot of what you see on here is not reality

"Many well-to-do British Columbians have been quietly winning $10-a-day spots for years, while others at the poverty line suffer on wait lists. It’s how the system was (stupidly) designed," says @RobShaw_BC. "That successive NDP administrations defended this ridiculousness, and refused to change it, is the real scandal." #bcpoli
The @bcndp's failure to create the universal $10 a day child care system it promised in 3 elections over 8 years has caught up to it this election in a sharp, pointed way. My latest in @BIVnews: biv.com/news/commentary/rob-…

Vancouver fans shitting on Tocchet will always be weird to me. Philly sucks. Have you seen that line up? The Petterson fans blaming Tocchet for him being useless for past 2.5 years is like Trump blaming Biden. Petterson fan boys is a fn cult. Weirdos.
The Flyers have now lost all of their first 4 games (0-2-2) to start the season, and have been outscored 17-5... What's going on in Philly? 😬

Tragic news. A bear attacked the father of Penguins forward Andrei Kuzmenko while fishing in Tuva. He passed away in the hospital. Deepest condolences to Andrei and his family.

Certainly woulda never happened back in 1997. Guy like Messier would have never demanded the team he signed with fire a coach and replace him with Mike Keenan.
Whoa. My colleague Mark Messier on the Oilers hiring Mike Babcock as head coach, during the ESPN NHL Opening Night media call today. "I am just horrified about the whole thing, to be honest with you."

The Pettersson disinformation campaign needs to be exposed. This screenshot is making the rounds today after the @DailyHiveVan report on the Zadorov interview, saying it was NOT JT’s fault. It is not in the article and seems completely fabricated, why would that be? 🤔 #Canucks

Players are starting to spill out what actually happened and Petey fans don’t believe it because they all apparently know better.

Young Canucks, please do not adhere to the standards Pettersson has put forward.
#Canucks Elias Pettersson on setting the standard for the younger guys: ". Me and Brock and Demmer have been here the longest, so it's up to us to set the standard of work and all those things."

The worst part of the last 10 years really isn't Trump. It's realizing how many people are just like him.

A man in Prince George caught a kid starting a fire on the side of the street late at night and made him put it out himself 🙌

Hunter Biden: "As it relates to Donald Trump, fuck him. Fuck his sons. Fuck his daughter. All of 'em. The whole family down to the grandchildren. I hope their names will live in ignominy. What would you expect me to say? What would you expect me to say about a man that treats my father, my mother, my sister that way? They stole her diary and published. They said my dad is a pedophile. Fuck them. They have done the most awful things to my family."
