Really interested to see how Paul Maurice plays this tomorrow.

He's currently on the #FlaPanthers AHL affiliate, the Charlotte Checkers. I know this so you don't have to, twins.

As someone who is quite familiar with the area where the Flyers practice facility is located... what is someone doing getting arrested like this in Voorhees, New Jersey? On an April Monday?

I still believe at some point, Zito moves upstairs a la Joe Sakic to let someone else do the day to day stuff (Roberto Luongo, maybe?), but he seems like someone who enjoys the day to day stuff more than a Sakic or George McPhee. #FlaPanthers

MLB took control of the minor leagues in 2020. Since then, one new company has purchased more than a quarter of all minor league affiliates.
Who are these guys? Why are they doing this? And what does it mean for the future of minor league baseball?

It's a Bergeron-less field for the Selke Trophy. Who is leading the way this year & how should the award be interpreted in today's game?

I don't think 'time is a flat circle' is accurate enough to describe the Jags sometimes

Someone was a 49ers fan watching the Nick Cast of the Super Bowl

Can’t make this s**t up: Tigres goalkeeper Nahuel Guzman is facing investigation by Liga MX for using a laser pointer to blind Rayados players in the Clásico last night.

Guzman was injured & watching from a suite. Absolutely hilarious.

That Rangers goal song, whatever it is.

Most teams will not be able to do what Newcastle did to stop #THFC on a consistent basis (although it is concerning how bare bones Newcastle did it so well), but the teams that can are definitely going to try this again so Ange needs to find a way to beat it.

There are a bunch of problems that can come when the owner of a team is also a diehard fan, but the upside is stuff like today with Doc, because Steve Cohen treats him as any diehard fan would.

fam I went and took a whole entire tour of the building named and dedicated to Serena Jameka Williams and didnt meet or see a single black woman working in the place. start there.

Does Joel Quenneville deserve a second chance?

In the NHL, will that even matter?

My column:

The NHL will be back in Arizona (and Atlanta) and I don't think it'll be terribly long before it happens, but they should have never had to move. That's on Meruelo, but also on Gary Bettman. If Meruelo doesn't screw up Glendale like he did, they're not moving right now.

I suspect this meme is going to have a long shelf life

Gary Bettman's desire for the NHL to succeed in Arizona is genuine. But in that, he failed to see the forest through the trees & ended up ushering the Coyotes to someone who made decisions that forced the NHL to leave there for an undetermined period when it never had to happen.

Is there a more depressing and 2024 phrase than 'the enshittification of Dude Perfect'?
