Hold onto the fucking ball. #BigBlue

@StatBoy_Steven Congrats!

[John @92In82]

@Cville300zx @SnarkMessier I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen a more true take than this.

[John @92In82]

This part of why this power play has been erratic to say the least since Chris Kreider was dealt.

This is what happens when you force the PK’ers to leave the box structure. The other night when Schneider left the box formation on the PK in Seattle, it led to Pettersson being down low with a 2-on-1 situation for Eberle’s back-door tap-in goal. Another example was Reinhart’s PP OT winner in Game 4, when Trouba left the box structure to go check Tkachuk along the far side boards when Goodrow was already there, it created an odd man opportunity down low which led to Reinhart having more time and space to get the shot off from the bumper.

I know it’s a long-winded explanation to get to a simple point, but part of #NYR’s power play woes can be fixed by having an effective slot presence, as the importance of having one cannot be understated. The ability to take a defender away from the play and turn a 5-on-4 into a 4-on-3 creates more open ice and more space for passing and shooting lanes.

[Jonny Lazarus @JLazzy23]

This must have been drawn up.

Watch Gabe go to the back post, drawing the #Flames PK’er to have to stick with him, which then opens up the passing lane for Mika.

That movement is certainly designed.

Beautiful goal.

@NHL94Podcast @tcddoyle One of, if not the scariest injury I’ve ever seen in hockey.

Crazy to say this, but Stevens is actually lucky to be alive.

[John @92In82]

Rich Pilon on Kevin Stevens in the 1993 playoffs all over again.

Cousins was out on contact and his head hit the ice.

This could have long-term effects on him.

[BarDown @BarDown]

Jakob Chychrun delivers a MASSIVE hit on Nick Cousins 😳

[John @92In82]

Hal Steinbrenner and other owners pushing for a salary cap while trying to tell fans that concessions, food and other stadium-related expenses will be cheaper is hilarious considering that we all know those prices aren’t going down one way or another unless people just stop going to games.

A cap would do nothing but to cater to every other cheap owner who doesn’t want to spend to improve his team and aspires to be like Jeffrey Loria.

Andrew Miller is right, if the current system is so unfair, why haven’t we seen a true dynasty in over 25 years?

[Jeff Bates @jeffbatesx]

Andrew Miller telling you the truth about a salary cap

Again

[John @92In82]

That Will Ospreay/Kyle Fletcher segment was an all time classic. #AEW

[John @92In82]

@MetsMissy I’ve been told to get one for the longest time lmao.
My buddy has one and when I was staying with him we air fried some really good stuff lol.

[John @92In82]

Let’s fucking go. #RepBX

[New York Yankees @Yankees]

CY State of Mind.

Cam Schlittler is your 2026 American League Cy Young Award Winner!

[John @92In82]

@michaeljonny66 I can’t say where I got my intel from, but I got word from people connected that Kakko was the sticking point and the additional ask of Perreault was when things fell apart.

[John @92In82]

We all know #NYR is infamous for their incompetence with developing young players, especially forwards.

But this is one of the last guys that should be running his mouth off. He got chances, didn’t show anything and then complained about his playing time despite doing to warrant additional TOI.

Furthermore, he hasn’t done a damn thing in Calgary to justify running his mouth off at the organization, despite having a “better support system.”

Trying to convince myself that this guy was gonna be any good was like pulling teeth. Another poor skater with low upside.

[New York Post Sports @nypostsports]

Brennan Othmann calls out Rangers for 'egregious' tactics that led to shocking split https://t.co/bXEnDGe4qR

[John @92In82]

@michaeljonny66 Kakko was the deal breaker for Guentzel from everything I’ve heard and read.

[John @92In82]

@rangersjulia So cute though lol

[John @92In82]

You’re being obtuse, because I know you’re smarter than this.

Seager is the same age, but hasn’t played 125 games or more in the last 4 seasons. Dude is always hurt. He also has a big contract and has declined hard over the last 2 seasons.

And for the “he can play 3B” crowd, he hasn’t played 3B since 2015.

Hard pass.

[RangersFanEarl @YankeesFanEarl]

So 33 year old Seiya Suzuki would be great and 32 year old Randy Arozarena would be great and 33 year old Brandon Lowe would be cool and 32 year old David Bednar must be re-signed but 33 year old Corey Seager is an old, overpaid bum? That doesn’t make sense to me.

[John @92In82]

You’re still here in some random dude’s mentions talking about shit because you don’t like that you got called out on your own bullshit.

You’re a fucking loser, flat out.

You wanted to talk about “baby shit soft” I called out something that a baby like you would have happen.

You’re a waste of sperm. End of story.

[John @92In82]

@badgley19 @coluccid2 @jdylanwilson Seems like me calling you out on your bullshit has really got you into a tizzy making mom jokes now.

So you’re stupid, useless, a bigot and a homophobe and you’re unoriginal.

Man, you really do suck at this life thing.

[John @92In82]

Man, homophobia and stupidity is quite the combination.

You understand that none of this changes the fact that you’re literally calling someone soft while being softer than baby shit yourself, pookie.

Now go take a nap. It’s dinner time soon. I’m sure your mommy will airplane your baby food from the spoon into your mouth just like you want her to.

[John @92In82]

@badgley19 @coluccid2 @jdylanwilson You’re a random dude that found his way into some random guy’s mention’s who you don’t even follow and you’re having a mental breakdown over there over some commentary while calling someone “soft as baby shit.”

Truly fucking ironic.

[John @92In82]

The only thing I’ve ever thought about with him was the time that @jswazoo and I went to the 2019 #NYR Prospect meet and greet at Versa and I spoke with Nick Bobrov, who when I asked for a sleeper prospect, told me that Karl Henriksson was at a further point in development than David Krejci at the same age and point in their careers.

Yeah, that might have had something to do with playing on a line with Lucas Raymond, the inverse of the Sebastian Aho situation.

[🅱️enneth @The_MrClean]

Be honest, you think about him from time to time

[John @92In82]

@BurntBlue727 I know, I’m just saying his head isn’t down at all there. He has to see him coming.

I think Chychrun’s follow-through gets him in the jaw and that’s what knocks him out.
