BROKEN TEETH FTW

SOME SPORTS let the athletes get away with all kinds of nonsense. And, I'm not talking about Canadian curlers caught cheating red-handed. I'm talking about the Canadian skater who...

... took out Jack Hughes' teeth with a high stick.

Then, the pay back.

Overtime: Jack scoring the game winning goal for Olympic gold.

Am I dunking on our northern neighbors?

No. 

That's basketball where flopping is part of "the game".

I'd never do that.

I'm tapping into Jack's spirit.

How many times have we seen the marathoner or triathlete pull up with cramps...

... and crawl across the line?

The crit racer taken out in a corner, covered in road rash, get back out there...

... and sprint for the win?

The XC rider go overthebars, regroup and race on...

... blood be damned?

As the great Jack Hughes said...

This is all about our country right now. I love the USA. I love my teammates. It's unbelievable, the USA Hockey brotherhood is so strong... I'm so proud to be an American today.

Keep getting up...

• find meaning
• fight for something
• never, never, never give up

... even when it hurts.
