VIDEO: Hammel shows up Rizzo at Blackhawks game
Jason Hammel is better at hockey than his Chicago Cubs teammate Anthony Rizzo.
After Rizzo was unsuccessful at potting a goal from center ice during a Chicago Blackhawks game Jan. 12, Hammel made it look easy during Chicago's contest Sunday against the St. Louis Blues.

Not only did Hammel best his teammate with his attempt, but he took to social media to gloat about his accomplishment.

Rizzo, however, had a finely put-together response after seeing the video.
Wow you make shooting right handed look so easy dude... https://t.co/l8aCyHEfNp

Who knows if the banter will continue or if Rizzo got the last laugh.
