I'm A Little Over The World Cup Of Hockey, I Think
The best-of-three finals of the World Cup of Hockey are not over, but the tournament may as well be.

Team USA Is Mad About Phil Kessel's Tweet
Team USA flamed out in two games at the World Cup of Hockey, but one American hockey player did win last night: Phil Kessel. The Stanley Cup Champion, who was left off the roster and had hand surgery in July, displayed his pettiness (in a good way) after John Tortorella’s squad lost to Canada, 4-2....
Team USA Sucked
The thing to remember is that last night wasn’t the failure. It was a failure, sure, falling 4-2 to Canada in a game that felt like a prolonged and particularly sadistic euthanization that eliminated Team USA from the World Cup after just two games. But Canada’s better. They have better players, and...
