Simmons Says: Don't take anthem-booing personally, Team USA. It's aimed at your country's leader

The two best hockey players in Canada , outside of Edmonton , happen to be American .

The president of the Montreal Canadiens , Jeff Gorton , is American , and the general manager of the Edmonton Oilers , Stan Bowman , wasn’t born in the USA , just raised there.

How can anyone across Canada hate anything about American hockey when just about every night of every season we’re cheering for American players.

The MLB Network rates the top 100 players in baseball before every season begins.

The Blue Jays have just two on the list: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. , Bo Bichette and George Springer .

The Dodgers open camp with nine of the top 10 players in the game, followed by the Atlanta Braves with seven .

There’s still such a long way to go for hockey on mainstream American television, even with ESPN and TNT doing such great work on the 4 Nations tournament.

It seems all we talk about in football these days are quarterbacks and the legacy of quarterbacks.

There is no award for a defensive line or a defensive co-ordinator but there should have been last week .
