andersonkaren+FollowLondon 2012: The Dirtiest Race Ever?Anyone else still haunted by the 2012 women’s 1500m final? The drama in London was unreal, but the real story unfolded years later.

Sherri West+FollowBedard Snubbed: Is He Elite Yet?So, Connor “The Kid” Bedard didn’t crack Team Canada’s first Olympic picks—no shocker after the 4 Nations snub.

What do you think—fair snub or too soon to judge? #ConnorBedard #TeamCanada #Olympics #Sports #IceHockey20Share
