Big mistake from SportsGrid
My time at @SportsGrid has come to an unexpected end….appreciate everyone there who I’ve worked with and has been a part of it all Almost 10 years with @ScottFerrall & @OnAirMafia between cbs and the grid…great shows and incredible memories Created a fun show and friendship…
Whenever you can get two AT BEST third-line centers, YOU HAVE TO DO IT! For a refresher, Dube recorded 3-4-7 in his most recent 43 NHL games. Quite literally, the same pace Ryan Lomberg posted for CGY this year. Kevin Rooney, too. In the KHL this year, he posted 4-7-11 over 42…
The Athletic reports that there is interest in some of the five players among NHL executives. Carter Hart, Michael McLeod, and Dillon Dube highlighted as potential NHL returns. Alex Formenton and Callan Foote seem unlikely to return.
Greg absolutely nails it. For a league that prides itself on being the “good guy” league, the five should be persona non grata. The courts couldn’t use Brett Howden’s texts and countless other pieces of evidence that we, the public, know exist. Cannot hand wave this away,…
Whatever the outcome, one thing is clear. There was a lack of character in that room. Nobody stepped up and said “I don’t care what she’s saying, this isn’t right, we should be better than this.” Even if there may have been consent, just because you can doesn’t mean you should.
Would be good if it stayed this way. Formenton and Foote were non-NHLers anyhow. I mean, Foote couldn’t stick on a Devils team that’s biggest deficiency was defense. As for the other three? Mediocre, streaky players. Not guilty /=/ innocence.

Sick to my stomach reading about how the judge says EM's testimony is unreliable especially when Brett Howden literally said he left the room because of how uncomfortable he was hearing EM cry from being slapped so loudly and then him conveniently not remembering saying that.
Cameron Berg is signed by Bridgeport. Yes, he’s on this list. But the #Isles already officially announced his deal on 7/1. nhl.com/islanders/news…

Rare Baseball tweet from me: Please, someone, anyone, please save my Pirates. I’m begging. #LetsGoBucs
The Pirates have had three sellout crowds this season: April 4 -- Home opener (36,893) April 19 -- Skenes bobblehead day (37,713) Tonight -- Mac Miller bobblehead day (38,041) All three games featured "sell the team" chants.
Before the announcement of his child, I wrote a quick story on the #Isles and Tsyplakov ahead of arbitration opening this week. A deal may be all but done, but Tsyplakov asked for a pause to focus on family ahead of his child's birth (Congrats, Maxim). nyihockeynow.com/new-york-islan…
Congrats to the Tsyplakovs on the newest addition to their family!
Simon says… will you marry me? Congrats Simon and Ella! 💙🧡
Congrats to #Isles Forward Simon Holmstrom and his fiancé Ella as they’ve announced their engagement on Instagram.
Bobby Marsala, an #Isles employee who is in the biggest battle of his life, has two young kids, and any kind of support would mean everything to him and his family. gofundme.com/f/support-bobb…
