Free the fucking whales

[Local 4 WDIV Detroit @Local4News]

An artist with ties to Detroit is suing the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) and the city of Dallas, alleging that a giant whale mural was covered without his permission as the city prepares for upcoming World Cup matches. https://t.co/A4aSqUzvAg

[Dave @DE_Gifford]

Robert Wyland has painted over 100 whale murals. Detroit whale watchers rejoice when advertisements come down & the whales are visible again. His Dallas mural was not as lucky. It was recently painted over for ad space ahead of the FIFA World Cup.

Sean McDonough should be thrown in prison for this horrendous call.

Wonder if crybaby torts will avoid the media tonight!

[The New York Times @nytimes]

From @TheAthletic: Found not guilty of sexual assault last summer, Carter Hart now sits on hockey's biggest stage. The Vegas Golden Knights continue to shield him from the media. https://t.co/kllMiAZ8Nw

[NHL Alumni @NHLAlumni]

The NHL Alumni Association is devastated to share that Claude Lemieux has passed away at the age of 60.

Born in Buckingham, Quebec, Claude was selected by the Montreal Canadiens in the second round of the 1983 NHL Entry Draft and would make his NHL debut just a few months later on October 13, 1983 and scored his first career NHL goal on December 4, 1983.

Claude split time between the Canadiens organization and the QMJHL from 1983 to 1985, capturing the President’s Cup with the Verdun Junior Canadiens in 1985 as QMJHL playoff champions, while earning the Guy Lafleur Trophy as Playoff MVP.

The very next season, Claude recorded 10 goals and 16 points in 20 playoff games as he and the Montreal Canadiens won the Stanley Cup. Claude remained with the Canadiens for an additional four seasons before joining the New Jersey Devils ahead of the 1990-91 season.

In 1994-95, his fifth and final season with New Jersey, Claude led the Devils to their first Stanley Cup championship, registering 13 goals in 20 playoff games, taking home the Conn Smythe Trophy as Playoff MVP. As a member of the Colorado Avalanche in 1995-96, Claude was once again an integral part of team history as the Avalanche hoisted Lord Stanley’s Cup for the very first time in 1996.

Claude played 297 regular-season games in an Avalanche uniform before rejoining the New Jersey Devils in November of 1999, and for a fourth and final time, would be crowned a Stanley Cup champion on June 10, 2000. Claude later played for the Phoenix Coyotes and Dallas Stars before making a comeback with the San Jose Sharks during the 2008-09 season.

Internationally, Claude represented Canada on several occasions, including capturing a gold medal at the 1985 World Junior Hockey Championships and winning the 1987 Canada Cup.

He was loved by his wife and four children, and on behalf of the Lemieux family, we kindly ask that everyone respect their privacy during this difficult time.

Memorial service details to follow.

Dear Oilers fans: You aren't getting Sebastian Cossa, and you definitely aren't getting him for Darnell Nurse

Where are the shut up and just play football people

@NationGolfing Did the train go by? Does it go by at all?

[Sean Shapiro @seanshapiro]

Been told plan for Stars-Red Wings prospect games in September will take place in Detroit this year. Was held in Frisco last year and Traverse City year before

[Kellan Buddy @kellanbuddy]

Let them hate. Everything’s dangerous when you’re dumb.

[Tom Hur @KoreaPistonsFan]

I'm frustrated with people thinking Detroit's a dangerous place filled with bad people. If you've been to Detroit you'll know otherwise. I just fought really bad with my childhood friend who kept saying that I can't prove Detroit's safe. I've been to Detroit thrice, and not once I felt unsafe - but rather I've fallen in love with the city every single time. How can I show people how awesome Detroit is? What else can I do to let them know how stupid their prejudice is?

I put cheese in the utensil drawer this morning.

I’m officially losing it

[Zavid Lynch @Cosmicneurons13]

Dear Red Wings,

Keep your eye on #43 Carter Mazur...

When opponent throws a brutal cheapshot...this is an appropriate response

Don't let anyone smirk & chuckle their way off the ice after brutally maiming your teammate, b/c you won't do anything about it

DET needs Mazur

[Gabby Herzig @GabbyHerzig]

This is pretty sweet. The Golf Association of Philadelphia put up a women’s rating of the blue tees so that I (and now others!) can post my score from Aronimink!

It’s a little-known issue, and I’ve talked to a lot of ex-college golfers who deal with the same. The tees that we typically play (usually white tees) often are only rated for the men.

[Paul Pabst @PaulPabst]

The family did this without my knowledge or consent.

[Richard Peebles @RickyPeebs]

Expand the fuck out of this, I hope the club I join someday will do something similar

[Kellan Buddy @kellanbuddy]

@shanebacon Smalley blocks it right on 18 and loses to JT in a playoff

[Kellan Buddy @kellanbuddy]

Fuck yeah JT
