30 Thoughts: Ducks a logical fit for Lightning’s Drouin – Sportsnet.ca
The Ducks are starved for offence and they have the pieces to make a move for Drouin, how the Predators landed Johansen, Ovechkin’s goal-scoring dominance, and much more in this week’s 30 Thoughts.

Stuff I’m not linking
I really don’t care what a columnist from Chicago thinks. Nor should you. Nor should it have to be addressed. That’s petty. At the end of the day, there aren’t 3,000 shootings a year here… nor is the mayor lying about police brutality… nor is the team supported by a band of drunks who show up in arrest records wherever they go. I’m okay with what we have. I sleep well. And I don’t have to worry about this team paying $10m a year to a scumbag who still attends frat parties, or this team erecting a statue of a man who beat up his spouse(s), or this team being supported by a bunch of Polish-Irish jerks wearing war bonnets. I’m good.

“We drive into this big complex, and there are hundreds of these brand-new apartments. Perfectly paved streets. Rows of street lamps. And there’s not a single living soul that I can see. No cars. No nothing. I’m like, “Wait a second, this is the actual Olympic village.”
“Which is awesome, except for the fact that the Olympics are over.”
