      Yeah they cancelled the one that was suppose to happen in 2020? Regardless of that, it was still said that's the kind of format that they want to go by for now on. Imo I could care less if the next national tournament is after 2025. As long as they continue from where they left from the World Cup of hockey than I'm good. Normal size rinks are for the best imo

I think it was brave from MacKinnon to share so openly about his harder patches of his career and super interesting also.

      A year Later after watching the playoffs that man is my favorite D man in the league, I would put him on any line against any team and any player at any time and have 10000% confidence. Rare fucking breed. Reaves in size and a offensive hunger to skate with the puck like Bobby Orr, strong in the corners on the boards and in front of the net like Big Buff. His number will be retired by the Jackets if he stays.
      I cant wait to see Jones face Canada in a gold medal game this decade, I wouldnt feel like it was a real win or loss unless he was there to face us.

    So I'm geeking at MacKinnon giving a candid interview and about the 20 minute mark I slowly began realizing who was interviewing him.

    What he said about when he wasn’t doing well on the ice how it affects how you view yourself as a person, it’s so true. Whenever I struggled at a practice or game I would get real down until the next time I skated. I thought myself as less of a person or I had less value as a person. It’s tough to get over but being young you don’t really know how small sports is in life. Yes it can be a career. But it’s still only a career for a fraction of ppl for a portion of their life.
