It has been 24 years since a Canadian team entered the NHL as an expansion team,so it's time to start adding more Canadian teams. Clearly Canada has the right environment to have more teams so why not add more. Although Canada does not have the biggest Cities,they will likely increase in population by a lot.

If you prefer batting average, on base percentage, WAR and hits, then Jose Altuve is your MVP as he is leading all of those categories except batting average (he is in second). If you like an all around star who has taken his average team to first place in his division, look no further than Manny Machado whose slash line of .319/.377/.625 is nothing to scoff at.

    “If you don’t think you’re a winner, you don’t belong here,” Vince Lombardi. To me, this is the definition of the NFL playoffs. This is why I think 8 teams from each conference should be in the playoffs. I know some people like the playoffs the way they are, and others don’t really care, but I think the playoffs should expand. Expansion would mean more games in a season, allow more money for some teams and the league, and it wouldn’t be the same teams in the playoffs.
