And the #1 overall pick in the recent NHL draft is Trondk Hwchin. His grandpa is a survivor of Canada's Indian reeducation program.

The Florida Panthers trade three first round picks and a second round pick to the Ottawa Senators for meathead #2, Brady Tckachuck. The Panthers now have 0 first round picks until 2031 and have only $7 million in cap space with only six defensemen under contract and zero goalies.

Has John Tortorella set a record for the shortest duration as the head coach of a Stanley Cup finals team? Hired by Vegas on March 29 and dismissed on June 16, a total of 49 days in the position. What might management expect for performance?
He was replaced by the head coach of their AHL affiliate. Apparently this was in the plans for a while now. I guess they didn't want to throw him to the wolves as the playoffs were approaching.

ABC/ESPN executives are celebrating right now. The NBA had the highest TV ratings since 1998 and the NHL had their highest since 2019.

Went to get some tickets for Sunday night's Hurricanes watch party in the Lenovo Center and noped out as soon as I got in the queue for tickets. I only had about 70k folks in front of me.

I guess the Tr*mp jinx lasted only through the first half of last night's game. Did the Knick's staff perform some sort of cleansing ritual during halftime?

I probably would've just keeled over right then and there.

How much money is being made on Carolina's damned dang own goals? Two last night and one in game 2.

You know the injury is bad when the opposing players are waving wildly to the injured player's bench. Last I heard, they took him to the hospital.

I'm never getting to sleep tonight. Also, game 1 had the highest TV audience since game 1 of the 2019 Boston/St Louis Finals.

If the Canes can't win any board battles and if their so-called top line can't get it together, this series won't last long.
posted by NoMich at 04:00 PM on June 03, 2026
The Canes were too sad over the news of the passing of Peabo Bryson to be able to properly play their game last night. The game was a whole new world because they were up against a beauty *and* a beast.

Am I right in thinking that the Spurs are a bit ahead of schedule with this deep playoff run?
posted by NoMich at 09:44 AM on May 28, 2026
At this point, I feel like it would take a minor miracle for the shallow Spurs to overcome the very deep Thunder. So, it looks like SGA will be flopping all over MSG like something netted out of the East River.

Yeah, that first goal was, what kids might be saying these days, "sick" or "filthy". The second one (the gamer winner in OT) was just a pure snipe. That dude is good and the Canes got him for 6 years and only $8.5 million per.

Because of the super short turnaround time to get our picks in, I say that we give the late arrivers grace for the Spurs/Thunder series.

Congrats to the Habs for getting past the Sabres. I'm mostly excited that us Canes fans don't have to deal with drunk and violent Sabres fans. Habs fans are usually really cool down here at playoff games, so this is good. I might actually hate to see the Canes crush their beloved team.
San Antonio outlasted OKC last night, but man, they have a much shorter bench and I just can't see them keeping this up against the Thunder.

All Schertz has ever done as a head coach is win, so you have to think that a big school with very deep pockets will come a callin eventually. My guess is Mark Cuban wanting to do to the basketball program what he did with the football program there in Indiana. But who knows!
