Connor Hellebuyck Page 2 - Sports News, Headlines & Highlights
No NHL stars, but plenty of drama for Team USA men's hockey
It’s obvious that the inclusion of the NHL at the 2022 Winter Olympics would’ve given a facelift to the United States men’s hockey roster competing in Beijing. Leaving Auston Matthews, Connor Hellebuyck and plenty of others at home takes away some of the best in the world. The Americans are far from...
SEE IT: Connor McDavid just eviscerated the Winnipeg Jets
So here’s Connor McDavid once again dragging the Oilers to a point, and eventually a second one, all by himself:...
Connor McDavid and Mike Trout: one and the same
Two guys walk into a bar. They’re both dressed to the nines with glamorous accolades and praise, yet they hang their heads low. They sit a few seats apart and order the same drink. The two get to talking....
