A year after Atlanta Braves designated hitter Jurickson Profar served an 80-game suspension for violating MLB's performance-enhancing drugs policy ... he's staring down the barrel of yet another ban after reportedly testing positive for a PED once again.

Days after the White House shared an A.I. video of Brady Tkachuk calling Canadians "maple syrup-eating f***s" ... the Ottawa Senators' left winger is condemning the clip -- saying, "I don’t like that video because that’s just never come out of my mouth."

Tkachuk met with the media Thursday after returning from a whirlwind couple of days celebrating USA's first Olympic hockey gold in 46 years -- and while the vibes were certainly high overall, he says the AI vid was a bit of a stinker for him.

“Shut up and just enjoy what they did,” he told the critics in an interview with Babcock on Wednesday.

Eruzione pointed to his own experience in 1980, when political figures were openly supporting the team without controversy. He recalled then-Vice President Walter Mondale sitting in the stands -- and even a phone call in the locker room from the POTUS after the "Miracle on Ice" win.

“Jimmy Carter called the locker room and I spoke to him,” Eruzione said, adding the team was invited to visit the White House the very next day -- and there was zero backlash.
