I think being an nhl broadcaster must be the hardest job in the world. bc you’re gonna have to continuously find new, innovative ways to explain just how fucking good jesper wallstedt is and that’s a monumental task
Wild extend point streak to 11 over SJ and become the fastest team in NHL history to 1,000 regular-season wins (1,995 games).
Kaprizov 4 points, Hughes 3 points, Shabanov GWG, Bogosian goal, 7-game point streaks for Kaprizov, Hughes, Boldy, Eriksson Ek. Wallstedt 23 saves (11-2-3)
Story coming later, but Brock Faber just talked for the first time since fracturing his skull
Highlights
“Just a few days after surgery, I felt completely fine, which was almost the hardest part, knowing that my body feels normal, my head feels completely normal, I just can't do anything”
"When I got hit, to be honest, it didn't even hurt that bad. It just felt like a little bruise on your skull, nothing crazy, really.”
"I'm going to take my time a little bit more with this one than maybe I would have in the past, just considering what the injury was. The last thing I'd want to do is get back too soon and something else pops up."
"It honestly makes me feel so good knowing that they don't need me right now. They're flying around. They're winning hockey games. They're playing the right way."
“I really didn’t let myself think any other way than I’ll be playing in a month, and I missed it by a couple weeks.”
STATEMENT FROM JACK CAMPBELL
My family and I want to sincerely thank everyone for the overwhelming amount of love, prayers, and support we’ve received over the past few days. It means more to us than words can express.
I’m incredibly encouraged by the progress I’ve made in such a short period of time. I have full movement in my lower body, and I’m continuing to make progress with movement in my upper body. I know there’s still work ahead, but I remain very optimistic. I’m taking things one day at a time, staying positive, and focusing on getting better.
My faith in God has never been stronger. I know He has a plan for me, and I trust in that plan. I know there may be challenges ahead, but with my faith, my family, and so many people in my corner, I know we’ll get through this.
I especially want to thank the athletic trainers and medical personnel who responded and cared for me on the field. I know those were difficult moments, and I’m incredibly grateful for the professionalism, compassion, and care you showed me. The way you handled everything and looked after me when I needed it most is something I’ll never forget. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
I also can’t say enough about the incredible care I’ve received from the medical team at Henry Ford Hospital and the Detroit Lions medical staff. They’ve been amazing to me and my family throughout this process, and I’m truly grateful for everything they’ve done.
To my teammates, coaches, and everyone in the Lions organization, I want you to know how much I love and appreciate you. This team is a family to me, and the way everyone has been there for me means everything. I’m proud to be a Detroit Lion and couldn’t ask to be surrounded by a better group of people.
One thing I’ve learned about Detroit is that this city is built on toughness, resilience, and grit. That’s exactly how I’m going to approach this challenge.
Please continue to keep me and my family in your prayers. We feel the love, and I can’t thank everyone enough.
God is good. My faith is strong.

The 2026 Milwaukee Brewers payroll was $143.5M.
That was 19th in baseball.
It was well below the 2023 MN Twins payroll, and only three spots above where the 2026 team sat.
When you try to convince yourselves it was small ball and fundamentals, it was actually winning on the margins.
The Brewers invested in their front office. They leaned into analytics. They had a manager that could convey data and demand excellence.
Milwaukee got the most out of their players because they demanded as much from those paid to make it work behind the scenes.
A salary cap doesn't fix that. Neither does a salary floor. Try. Hire smart people. Generate a culture of winner.
Congrats @Brewers!
Smoltz just said I shouldn’t ever talk baseball again. And I’ve lost all my credibility. Haha shoot guess I gotta go back to the drawing board post career.
