Claude Lemieux, former Canadien and 4-time Stanley Cup champion, dead at 60: Lemieux carried ceremonial torch at Montreal's Bell Centre on Monday. He was known for stepping up his game in the playoffs and for playing close to the edge — and sometimes crossing it.

Stink, stank, stunk: Oshawa Generals admit ‘shower before game’ email was an ‘overstep’ in apology to fans: The Oshawa Generals are admitting they pulled a stinker. No, it wasn’t on the ice — though there have been more than a few of those this year for the last-place club. It was with the now notorious “take a shower before the game” email sent out Tuesday to season-ticket holders by director of ticket sales Jason Hickman.

Could it be similar team shenanigans or more to the Ohtani gambling story?
I want it to be team shenanigans.

What NoMich said.
Only reason that I can see he gets a simple slap on the wrist (with a wet noodle) is the NBA doesn't want to go to war with the NBPA.

A name I did not expect to read today, and certainly not as a voice of reason, Scaramucci.
This would be fascinating and fun to watch if it wasn't real.

Former Blue Jays setup man, then closer, Duane Ward (Wardo) passed away (62) this weekend.
The club had the '92-'93 teams back in Toronto to celebrate the unveiling of a statue at the park, of Joe Carter.
Duane was in town, but did not make the celebration yesterday.
As Toronto fans, we knew that the game was about over after 7 with Ward and Henke looking after the 8th and 9th.

Well, I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.
Well, maybe not that shocked.

I recall when Peter Pocklington had his father's name put on the Cup when the Oilers won.
Basil Pocklington had no connection to the club.
The NHL had his dad's name X'd out.
Chicago's strength coach Brad Aldrich had his name X'd out as well.
That Bobby Gorman's name, among others was not listed is deplorable, at best.
Joel Nystrom's name is not there, he played 38 games with the team this season.
Players are automatic inclusions at 41 games (or 1 game in the Final).
Other staff who should be there rather than his progeny would include Jesper Fast (conditioning coach) and Kristin Pirigyi (team nutritionist).
I would like to see those names X'd out a few years down the line.
It would not surprise me if rules are put in place to have teams submit proposed names to the NHL prior to the playoffs should they happen to win the Cup.

The Mavericks have one of the best in Masai, and I think he's made a good choice here.
