    in addition to their deal with espn/abc, much like the nba, nhl has also contracted with tnt/turner sports for 2022.

    ernie johnson is handling some of the media appearances related to the announcement, from his office with a hockey jersey in the background. crossing my fingers that he'll pull double duty with the nba and nhl (triple duty, if he keeps golf), and that tnt can recreate the unique magic of "inside the nba" with great/fun analysts.

    after 10+ years of mike milbury and jeremy roenick on nbc, i'd welcome just about anyone but them. except for don cherry.

    **** It we play the Caps again. If the NHL is so insistent on not punishing people, I'm sure the Rangers will oblige

    Ugh Davidson was awesome, but if Drury replaces him that's fine.

    I’m a bit shocked the Rangers were fined $250K for that statement. A fine makes sense, but that amount seems excessive.

    Especially when Tom Wilson was only fined about $5,000 for the offense the Rangers were speaking out about.

    "When the eyes of a Ranger are upon you
    Any wrong you do they're gonna see.
    When you're in New York look behind you
    'Cause that's where a Ranger's gonna be."

    It's just the latest reminder that the greatest sport in North America is run by the absolute worst and most incompetent leadership, and has been for 30 years. Any hyperbolic claims about Goodell or Manfred being the "worst" commissioners among the major sports leagues should be laughed at.

    The wheels flew off our team over a month ago but this was the parting shot.

    drury has cleaned house



    david quinn did the best he could with what he had, i thought - back-to-back years of high draft picks with productivity woefully below expectations did not help, but he got our goalie situation ironed out post-henry, and helped mika evolve into an elite center in the league.

    i think drury will be much more effective than gorton was in the GM role. the first step towards that would be not hiring john tortorella or claude julien.
