Those last two on the list above are going to be tough to eliminate.

When a missile strike on a sponsor's oil facility less than a mile away DURING A RACE WEEKEND didn't even delay the Saudi GP, nothing is going to get rid of them.

They've handed out too many sweeteners.

Ty Voit leads the OHL in scoring. Ty Voit should be on the Canadian team. Ty Voit.

Last time I watch the world juniors Theo Fleury started a riot. It’s been a while.

So it seems that some of those categorical denials may have been a tad premature

I read it and there was apparently an "older, well dressed man" at the bar who kind of facilitated at least the introduction of the victim to the main guy. And there was also someone within Hockey Canada who tipped the main guy off that a police report was filed, prompting him to further contact the victim and try to coerce her to "make it go away". You would have to imagine the same person. Whoever that person is should get an extra special ass-whooping.

Also the report kinda blows the whole "It wasn't necessarily just the World Junior Team in London at that time" narrative. It was WJ team members and only WJ team members. Several of which were not at the original bar and called to the room.

To hell with every last one of them.

will they release names once done? they were underaged for sure, so I am not sure they can? I am surprised they have not leaked out yet.

Who was the adult buying drinks? coach? manager?

remove them from the league even if they are superstars. take away their privilege's of playing in the NHL forever

I hope so, even if in a roundabout way by voiding contracts and banning from league. They have to set an example.

They seem to be attempting to lay it all on Formenton, but the report drags around 8 more into it. Whther they physically took part or not, anyone in that room who did not go to police themselves should lose the right to play in the NHL.

the people who kept quiet are also complicit even if not taking physical action. This whole thing is horrific. Again I think Canada should be suspended from the tourney for one year minimum. I dont care that todays players had nothing to do with it. The entire program needs a punishment. the 2018 Canadian team should also have their Gold Medals taken back

Watching the Mecum Auction from Kissimme, FL and they often have collections that they sell off at once. Some person decides they need to let their entire collection go at once. Last few cars:

Dodge Shadow Shelby

Dodge Executive Limo (That they added a photo of Lee Iacocca to the back window)

And Dodge Dakota Sport Convertible

Someone actualy collected those on purpose.

Of course, then you're stuck with a Hyundai or Kia...

My first car was a Chevy Sprint (the 3 cylinder shit-box from the 80's).
The locking mechanism was such that direct pressure from the top would activate the cylinder.
(I worked at a car dealership during my post secondary, so go pretty familiar with using a slim jim on different kinds of cars)

I impressed the hell out of some kids in college by breaking into my car using a classmate's ruler in about 5 seconds.

Around here, they were crashing them into gun stores and looting them.

Ford is getting back into F1 starting 2026 in the most ford way possible. By letting someone else do all the work and sticking their name on it. Which is the best possible outcome, because if Ford actually built the engines they would be Found On Road, Dead.



Red Bull didn't go through with a deal to use Porsche engines because Porsche wanted "too much" control. As in actually being a part of developing it.

So I've been reading that the 2023 Toyota Prius will have a little under 200 hp. As for how it looks, well pretty sharp if you ask me...

F1 car reveals are happening this week, and Mercedes has gone back to the bad boys look:

Hope it regains the pace it had before they went back to silver. I want Lewis to win one more and bail.

A lot of F1 teams are cutting paint off their cars to shave weight. If you zoom in, you see the majority of this car is raw carbon fiber.
