The Nuge is living off of that one 100pt season as McDavid's jockstrap.

Two of the coaches at 4 Nations (Cassidy and Deboer) previously coached Thompson in Vegas and at least one of them didn't get along with him.

The Tenderness only belongs on one roster and that's the #### stain called Edmonton.

Guys like him are used to having to prove they belong. It's helps drive them to be even better than they already are. The cool thing though is when they succeed it tends to resonate more with fans than when the bigger guys do it. Big guys are expected to be good. They're big. They have no excuse for not being good. Little guys aren't expected to be able to do anything. They don't even get the chance half the time, so when they do succeed people want to see them more than the boring big guys. TLDR: Wolf will kick enough ass that fans/media will eventually put him on the team, whether managemnt wants to or not.

Ha!

Chucky is out for the first 3-4 months of the season, it looks like. That's around mid-January, and the Olympics are at the begining of February.

Spoiler!

No fighting in the Olympics so he won’t get stuffed in a locker by Team Canada again

United States 'planning and expecting' to have Tkachuk in 2026 Olympics

“I think he represents, in a lot of ways, the identity of the team and what we are trying to become as a group,” U.S. coach Mike Sullivan said. “He's a fierce competitor. He has incredible care for his teammates.

“We certainly missed him in the 4 Nations final.”

Florida Panthers GM Bill Zito is part of the U.S. management group and is at the camp here in Michigan, but (USA GM) Guerin said he has not pressed him regarding Tkachuk’s status.

“I don't push Billy, it's his player,” Guerin said. “But Matthew is a huge part of what we're trying to do here and he's on (the roster) until he's not.”

...

“(Thachuk) called me and just kind of told me what was going on,” Guerin said. “It wouldn't be great for him get on a plane and fly right now. He didn't have to be here.

“He was upbeat. He's always upbeat.”
