Died in The Garden

10 years without the greatest hockey player who ever lived.

3/31/16

Long live Mr. Hockey…

[Scott Van Pelt @notthefakeSVP]

There really aren’t any rules. You just go to court. If it fails, go to court again until a judge says you’re all set.

Want a 7th year?

Sure

Broke rules?

Ahhhh, it’s fine.

There AREN’T any rules.

@GrindLinePod @DetroitRedWings My 2008 Stanley cup ring. Every time I look at it and see my last name I can’t believe this is my life…

@krolljvar Fermi is 30 miles from Comerica, and 2.2 from my house 😳

So many of the replies are part of the problem. Nobody, especially not Jacob, is telling you not to let your kid dream big. What he’s suggesting is that the parents dreams often cloud the reality. If more of us just “enjoyed the ride” without undue pressure we’d all be better off

[Jacob Turner @TheJacobTurner]

A PARENT’S JOURNEY THROUGH YOUTH SPORTS:

Age 5: “He’s got a cannon.”
Age 6: “He’s the fastest kid out there. Coach said so.”
Age 7: “Rec ball isn’t challenging him anymore.”
Age 8: “We tried out for select. Obviously made it.”
Age 9: “$2,800 for the season. Plus uniforms. Plus tournaments. Plus hotels.”
Age 10: “Cooperstown is basically a family vacation, right?”
Age 11: “He needs a hitting guy. And a pitching guy. And probably a mental performance coach.”
Age 12: “I’m not a crazy sports parent. The OTHER parents are crazy.”
Age 13: “We changed schools. For academics. (And also baseball.)”
Age 14: “Showcases are a requirement at this age.”
Age 15: “Ya his ranking just ticked up. We’re cooking.”
Age 16: “He just needs to get seen by the right school.”
Age 17: “The D1 schools want him to walk on. He’ll earn a spot by sophomore year.”
Age 18: “Okay, D2 is actually really competitive.”
Age 19: “He’s redshirting. Strategic.”
Age 20: “He’s focusing on school now.”
Age 21: “You know what? He’s so much happier.”

Roughly 7% of high schoolers play in college.

About 1.5% of those get drafted.

Less than half of draftees ever play one day in the big leagues.

The odds of our kids going pro are somewhere between “struck by lightning” and “find a $100 in old shorts.”

I love youth sports (all my kids play a bunch of them) just keep a good perspective my friends. ✌️

GTFO with that garbage, Rema. We’ve had a half dozen presidents in the last decade. You and the other trustees ever sit around and think… “maybe it’s us?”

[Sophia Saliby @Sophia_Saliby]

NEW from MSU Trustee Rema Vassar: "We have the receipts."

Vassar sent me a statement saying President Guskiewicz told her last week he would not be leaving MSU. She also pushed back on his criticism of board members.

[Erich Freiny @e_freiny]

99 on the black from Graham here. Not a word untrue, and the trustees at my great school can all kick rocks…

[Graham Couch @Graham_Couch]

Kevin Guskiewicz's departure is an unnecessary blow to MSU, which loses momentum and maybe more.

Column.

The school I love the most takes another hit as the Board of Trustees continues to stay in their own way at EVERY opportunity…

[Kevin Guskiewicz @KevinGuskiewicz]

Serving @michiganstateu has been one of the greatest honors of my life. Amy and I are deeply grateful to the entire Spartan community: students, faculty, staff, alumni and supporters who make this university so extraordinary

Update: it poured rain for 5 minutes, the 8U chat went bananas with cancellation questions. Sun came out immediately and all appears fine. League director cancelled anyway becuase “the field is flooded…”

I have never been more in awe of grown adult stupidity in my life

Anybody else think Coach Rossi looks like the Zohan here?

[Ty’ire Clark @TyireClark]

Thank you so much @JA_Adams06 @JoeS_Rossi for a great at home visit, I had an amazing time and can’t wait to get back up to East Lansing!! @MSU_Football

#Lions land Michigan DE Derrick Moore after trading up from pick No. 50.

Moore had 10 sacks on 41 pressures last season.

Detroit's D-line now bookended by Wolverines.
