He’s fueled and ready. Always fun catching up with The One Before The Big Three. Here’s hoping this night is unforgettable for Marc-Andre, his family, the Penguins and Pittsburgh. 🌸

21 Penguins training camps. As a primary beat reporter, only Dave Molinari has more. (Dave is GOAT of PGH hockey media.) Dream run for me. A lot of memories. One was first w/ Josh Yohe — in 2010 he was just figuring out. Most of you already follow him. For those that don’t, he’s your hookup. -30-

Smacked a 45-pound plate off my head during a workout on Day 1 of NHL Draft. Wouldn’t recommend it. Doing a lot better. Still a bit off. But that’s why my usual nonsense has been absent from this platform. That’s all.

Teamed with @jessegranger.bsky.social for this story on NHL players reacting to new CBA. Via @theathletic.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/art... NHL players react to new CBA terms, from ‘slight’ concessions to ‘contentious’ changes

NHL players react to new CBA terms, from ‘slight’ concessions to ‘contentious’ changes

A sampling of opinion from around the league found players in favor of the changes, even if not with total enthusiasm.

The StanleyCup is in the house Tuesday, which means players’ razors could soon be put to use. Had fun with this @theathletic.bsky.social story looking at the origin of the famed playoff beard that traces back to @newjorkislanders.bsky.social dynasty. www.nytimes.com/athletic/642...

How the NHL grew its Stanley Cup playoff beard tradition: ‘We were too tired to shave’

"To win the Stanley Cup is a miserable two months." Denis Potvin said. "The beard is a reminder of how much you have to put into it."

INDIANAPOLIS — So, be honest, how did you think Caitlin Clark would play heading into her first game back? A 25-point first half? “No,” Steph White said. But maybe we should have. My column from Clark’s return, and its implications www.nytimes.com/athletic/642...

Watch out, WNBA: A classic Caitlin Clark performance showed the Fever’s ceiling

Clark drained deep 3-pointers with flair and scored 32 points in her return from injury.

Dark, deranged week in America. But I’m enthused by the people showing those in power that many more of us are not standing for this than those who are supporting it. These protests across country are a sign of true strength.

What a contrast: On the one hand, one grandiose spectacle in the nation's capital, a panorama of propaganda put on by an aspiring autocrat. On the other hand, thousands of assemblies of free citizens across the nation, authentic celebrations of the proposition that here the people rule.
