it's said that Trump kills everything he touches...however, hockey jocks are on social media...if they can read, which is doubtful, they know Trump is evil personified...and yet they willing walked into the Oval Office and joked with the degenerate that covets their medals...

I understand 5 of the players have a conscience and refused the invite...good for them...

I would have liked to see more. Jack Hughes surprised me, he spoke positively about LGBT reach out by the NHL. Of course, him skipping would have been huge as he scored the GWG.

In addition to Jake, Kyle, Jake G, Brock and Jackson earn my respect. The other guys fuck them. This isn't normal times.

Did someone donate their medal so the Make a Wish president could feel like the elite athlete he’ll never be or never was?

Just because you conned some simple-minded jock into handing you his medal, doesn't mean you "earned" it. We know you're no more worthy of that medal than you are of a Nobel Peace Prize medal.

for a team that was seriously outplayed (shots on goal for instance - Canada 41, USA 26).
