@Gorgamatic21 So sorry for your loss, KG. Dementia is hard on not only those suffering from it, but those who love them as well. Prayers for your family.
I was about to give Caruso his flowers for helping force OT, but after pushing the camera away from their bench, I changed my mind. NBC is a huge reason you’re making $19 mil, bro. The least they deserve is to shoot Chet at the bench.
This is an interesting take. If the rumors are true and Paolo/Mosley didn’t get along, I don’t see how this would work either. Thibs would also drive an oft-injured roster into the ground.
Tom Thibodeau has been mentioned as a potential coaching candidate in Orlando.
Defensive identity. Accountability. Playoff experience.
But does his style fit this Magic team and timeline?
Magic fans… where do you stand?
The Rays are a remarkable 13-1 against AL opponents!

As the #GoBolts host the Minnesota Wild tonight, the @TBLightning are leaving a press box seat open in honor of Jessi Pierce, the very talented MN Wild writer for @NHLdotcom who recently passed away unexpectedly.
Thinking of all those impacted by this tragic loss.
There are no words to express how heartbroken we all are.
Jessi Pierce (Hinrichs) was the most vibrant person - the life of the party, always with a smile on her face, always bringing a passion to every article and podcast and interview she did. Jessi simply loved covering the Wild and hockey throughout Minnesota and had a way of brightening everyone’s day with her upbeat, bubbly personality. I have literally NEVER met anybody that had a way of being EVERYBODY’s friend.
More than anything, she absolutely loved Hudson, Cayden and Avery and was the greatest mother who did everything she could to bring joy to her sweetest kids. Even at Friday’s practice in her beloved Iowa State sweatshirt, she was so excited to take them to the seasonal opening of Cup and Cone in WBL. Seeing those precious pics yesterday, she provided them with another incredibly fun and loving day.
My heart breaks for Mike for the loss of his wife and children and Jessi’s family, friends and colleagues for this unimaginable loss. This hockey community lost a wonderful, energetic and one of a kind voice and story teller and Grade A person.
Life can be unbearably unfair sometimes, and it’s impossible to make sense of this tragedy.
Please keep Jessi and her beautiful kids in your thoughts and prayers. I wish Mike all the peace and support and happiness in the world.
A lot of tears were shed at the arena yesterday. We, in the Wild media and inside the Wild, will miss seeing Jessi everyday, laughing with her everyday. The press box and press room won’t be the same without her. It’ll be a lot quieter, a lot less funny. But her passion and joy for covering this hockey team and sport will remain.
Sorry for the length of this, but as Jessi knew better than most as my original Athletic “backup” and somebody who always gave me Minnesota Hockey Journal deadline extensions, as she used to joke, I’m incapable of writing tight.
Especially about her.
RIP Jessi, Hudson, Cayden and Avery. 🙏💔
I had the honor of hiring Jessi as an intern at FOX Sports North and have always been proud to see how hard she worked to grow her career and become respected in the Minnesota sports scene.
24 hours later, I’m still in shock they’re gone. Please pray for Mike & her dad.
Our community lost a real one this weekend. Someone who's been a dear friend of ours from the very beginning.
Rest in Peace to Jessi and her children 🕊️
