One Heckuva Lunch Guest
I know Nathan MacKinnon is focused on the task at-hand in Italy, and it makes sense when one considers that this is his first crack at an Olympic medal of any colour in his already well-decorated career. Personally, I would leave the hockey stuff alone for a day or two before the event started because it's Italy where food, culture, and history are all around those who are there! One of the things I really enjoyed while the pandemic raged was Stanley Tucci's Searching for Italy TV show that ai...
Pre-Scout: France has earned opponent’s respect, but it’s David vs. Goliath vs. Team Canada
Sunday morning feels more like a formality than a tune-up for Team Canada as they look to seal up Group A against France. But if there’s one thing we’ve learned so far in this tournament, it’s that all 12 countries have either won a game or put a scare into their opponents. France did the…

The Golden Puppets
When the broadcast rightsholders for the Milano-Cortina Olympics were announced, I don't think anyone was surprised to see the Canadian team of CBC, TSN, and Sportsnet banding together once again to cover the Canadian angle in Italy. NBC was announced as the US rightsholder for US broadcasts which carried on their effort to be the American Olympic network, but I'm not sure that anyone knew that NBC was going to employ the residents of Sesame Street as part of their coverage. With ongoing cover...

Let's waste your Friday by building some NHL Olympic all-star teams
We’re finally watching Olympic best-on-best hockey for the first time in 12 years. And so far, it kind of rules. The last time the league sent its players to an Olympics, I wrote a piece where I picked the ten best NHL Olympians. The idea was to weight both sides equally – NHL success, and Olympic success – and rank the best of the best. It's been so long that I’d completely forgotten about that piece, and only stumbled on it recently . And it kind of made me want to revisit it. Of cours...
