Lots of speculation with almost none of it having him stay at Red Bull. Are they allowed to give him an ownership stake in the team? That may be the only way to keep him

100% agree the players aren’t good enough but I think it would quicker and easier to get back to respectability with a different system.

I think they need a change of philosophy. They need to get back to a dump-chase-cycle system. They are too reliant on trying to use speed and skill to get in the zone. It can also reward effort and it’s easier to acquire effort players to fill you bottom 6 than it does skilled guys that can bring it in the zone themselves. Along the same lines, they also need to develop some type of checking line that is tough for another teams top lines. The kind of guys that make them think twice when going in the corner for the puck. They also need better presence in front of the net. They need more size and toughness and a little less skill.

You aren’t wrong to make the assumption. A quick glance at the schedule and it looks like this one of only two Mon-Thu series all season long. The other is next month against Cleveland.

It’s not getaway day. This is a seemingly rare Monday- Thursday 4 game set. Tomorrow is a 1:40 start.

Un****ignbelievable but yet so believable

0% - This is just another scam to manipulate the markets for profit.

They also need to be regulation wins. They can’t afford to give a free point to either CBJ or Philly

Go take a look at the IG pages of Yaxel and Jeremy Fears at MSU. This is how NIL is supposed to work. Most of the posts are paid ads from large companies. Actual branding that is used to effectively market directly to kids of their generation. It’s not just free money handed out for nothing. It’s actual paid work that has value. Unfortunately, this doesn’t come close to solving the real issue which is there is no honor among thieves. Schools and their boosters are always looking for an edge and will continue to illegally use money to gain an advantage. The NCAA has tried to play ball and given every school $20M to legally pay players and that’s still not nearly enough. I don’t have the answers and I’m not sure they exist but they need to figure how to create penalties with some teeth in them.

It’s Taco Tuesday. A two week reprieve is coming at some point before 8:00 PM.

I’ve enjoyed the officials letting them play for most of the tournament. Disappointing they’ve decided to become more involved tonight.

Nearly every NBA player will want to be in Chicago again now that Josh Giddey is there toying with the rest of the league.

There’s a decent chance that pick 17 comes around and the best player on their board is Penn State G Vega Ioane. He’s being touted as one of the best G prospects in a number of years. Plays both run and pass very well. I like the idea of plugging him in next to Sewell at LG, Mays at C, Ratledge at RG. That’s a great young line and you can have Borom hold it down at RT for a year. That’s a huge, huge improvement and created great depth with Mahogany, Frazier, Scruggs, and Sorsdal.

He’s going to make many millions more in the portal than the draft. Expect the Brother Rice alum to be a big target for both in-state schools.

Good call. I’m guessing that get in price was far less than a normal Lions ticket. If you are solo it should be easy to navigate into a better seat.

The Jolly Roger is the only way to go

They should fire McLellan tomorrow. It’s not his fault but you can’t fire the players (or the GM).

LA drafted him while he was in college at Minnesota and traded him before he ever played in the NHL. Trade was Faber and a 1st round pick for Kevin Fiala. Minnesota used that pick to take Liam Ohgren, who was a piece in the recent Quinn Hughes trade.

Jesus would’ve stayed dead if he was a Wings fan.

They’ve never had a coach like this.

Michigan opens as a 7.5 point favorite. Seems light. UConn doesn’t matchup well at all. “Championship DNA” and other immeasurables are the only thing going their way.

Total domination. The first 10 minutes of the 2nd half is where Michigan has played its best ball all year. They have a better chance being up by 30 with 10 to go than Arizona does of cutting it to 10.

The Fab5 altcast should still be an NCAA violation.
