Sergio Busquets is old and slow. By next month he'll be retired. So how is he still so central to one of the best teams in MLS?
Wrote for The Guardian about trying to measure a famously invisible kind of greatness.

My column on Canadiens defenceman Lane Hutson, who still enjoys having a sheet of ice to himself like when he was a kid. It's a reason why he's almost always the first player on ice for a #Habs practice: montrealgazette.com/sports/hocke...
Cowan: Canadiens' Lane Hutson is still like a boy playing game he loves
Habs defenceman revels in being first player on the ice for practices after winning Calder Trophy, something that dates back to his youth.

It should be easy for educated, rational citizens to hold these two thoughts in mind: drug traffickers are the bad guys but due process of law protects us all.
Being against blowing up alleged drug traffickers at sea on the president's word does NOT make one a supporter of drug traffickers.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

It may not be permanent, but the timing for Slafkovský to spread his wings and be replaced in the nest by Bolduc might just be perfect.
