Production on the Winnipeg game was terrible last night. On the weird triple post goal they only briefly showed the overhead twice and didn’t even try to zoom in. Instead they kept using a camera angle along the glass that was clearly never going to give any definitive.

Then on Colorado’s...

Reading up on the Barons I think left me more confused. So they merged with the Stars, then when the Sharks were an expansion they got to take like half the Stars team?

The Pelicans/Hornets didn't involve any players or anything. The Bobcats branding in Charlotte was never well received...

Heard the same. Similar to the Cleveland Browns.

As opposed to a New Orleans Pelicans situation where you trade branding with another franchise and retroactively become an expansion franchise....

Sounds like the team isn’t going to rush into deciding a nickname and branding. Only thing that appears to be decided so far is that they will be Utah, not SLC. Good chance we end up with Utah Hockey Club for next season....

Well, I tried throwing this on as an edit, but despite showing up in the text box it won’t show up when I hit save…

That being said, it does hurt that they didn’t make it given the ending of the Montreal games. Those were a couple of team of destiny type endings.

As others have said, hard to be upset about the way things fell for the Wings last night when they had so many other chances. Don’t lose to Washington last week which was a four point swing, take the OT point against Pittsburgh last week and there’s another point, or don’t go three...

Wings score twice in the last ten minutes, the last one with 1:17 to go, to take it to OT against Montreal and stay in the playoff hunt. Finish it off with the game winner with 25 seconds left.

Detroit now needs one of two scenarios:
Win tomorrow and Philly beats Washington tomorrow...

Has the NHL always done staggered season finales? Makes zero sense for teams to finish their seasons across three different days....

[Spartanforlife4]

Didn’t they already have it so that the replacement had to come from the same party? And if I remember right the party got to pick a shortlist who the governor chose from.

If anything, this would seem to hurt them if something were to happen. Now there’s a much longer time...

Can’t find Beanpot ratings, so with that unavailable I’m gonna guess that MSU-UM on Easter will be the most watched game at 569k. Past numbers show Denver doesn’t pull much in the way of ratings and BC doesn’t as much as I thought they would.

Minnesota is a boon...

Per Reddit it sounds like they haven’t had a pep band since COVID and before that it was sporadic and not very formal. Also learned there that not only does CC not have a band, they don’t even have a fight song....

Ferris has done this at the last two GLIs, but that’s during winter break. And it happens occasionally in the basketball tournament, either by super small schools or schools on academic break with band students on vacation (Yale this year), but how does this happen to Denver? They’re not...

Yeah, assuming hockey is done like the other sports, they sent three crews who were already assigned their game. It’s not like the officials are having their own competition for best crew that moves from the semi to the final.

Hockey East was out because they were going to be or...

Does Houston just not want a team?...

Monterrey beats Miami 5-2 on aggregate. 3 MX vs 1 MLS now in the Champions Cup.

With Calipari moving to Arkansas, it was reported yesterday that Kentucky was heavily targeting Baylor coach Scott Drew. Drew then tweeted a photo of him with a Baylor booster at a Mexican restaurant.

However, a Kentucky fan looked at the tv in the corner and found that the Fast Money board...

What’s the story here? I know he decommitted from Minnesota, but I’ve seen a couple comments elsewhere from fans who don’t really want him either at other schools. Nearly a point a game guy, seems odd people don’t care if they pick him up....

Iowa-South Carolina was the most watched basketball game of any kind in the last five years, averaging 18.9 million viewers. And it's the third highest non-football sporting event in that time as well, beaten out by the World Cup Final in Qatar and the one of the 2022 Winter Olympics telecasts which...

I'm surprised the Blue Jays were allowed to have one giant LED ad board behind the plate with the renovation. Seems like you'd at least want a patch of wall behind the plate as a reverse batter's eye for fielders.
