Frank Gore is just a legend

The Bruins don’t exactly have a great track record with Russians in the second round, especially named Yuri…

[Zach Leach @zleach77]

Bold prediction: Bruins leave Nashville tomorrow with a member of the Predators. Bunting, Perbix, and old friend Haula are all sensible deadline targets.

This has to be one of the greatest State of the Union moments EVER!

This is a hill I would die on. Don’t need a team in white on a white playing surface, at least not every game

[Vinnie Parise @VinnieParise]

This picture is proof that the National Hockey League should regularly allow teams to both wear colors if they are opposite.

Common sense can determine which teams would not make sense. Washington and New Jersey can’t do it, but Chicago and Boston can.

This picture would not be nearly as magical if the Red Wings were in their roads.

Kendrick Bourne, Ja’Lynn Polk, Javon Baker, and a 4th

BREAKING: #Commanders All-Pro WR Terry McLaurin has requested a trade, multiple sources tell me.

[Zach Leach @zleach77]

Critics of the direction of college sports have said the NCAA is just becoming the minor leagues. The Bruins heard that and looked at Boston College and thought “good idea”.

To SJS: No. 1 pick

To NYI: No. 2 pick, Luca Cagnoni

Isles take homegrown Hagens without feeling like they didn’t maximize value with the top pick or address their lacking D depth

Sharks get Schaefer, the best player in the draft and a replacement for Cagnoni in the pipeline

Happy #DraftDay to all who celebrate!

What a Masters that was. Ups and downs unlike anything I’ve seen before.

[Zach Leach @zleach77]

Even if 895 was Ovi’s final goal, it would still take Matthews past his 1400th game at his career pace to match - another decade of over 50+ goals per year. Seems impossible and yet it’s the current best odds. Pasta, McDavid even less likely. This record is sticking for a while.

End of an era

…does USC not know that the Trojans were not in the Trojan horse? Those were the Greeks, who then defeated them. This would be like the UMass Minutemen making a promo video where they show their team as the Redcoats.

[USC Football ✌️ @uscfb]

cleared for takeoff and ready for battle.

it's the Arrival of the Trojan.

CIN gets: No. 3 (Marvin Harrison Jr), No. 137, Bailey Zappe

NE gets: No. 18, Tee Higgins, Trey Hendrickson, Jake Browning

Who says no?

That Red Wanda audible by the Jets was anything but magic

Congress had the chance to act on NIL before state laws went into effect in 2021. It did nothing. Acting now would be problematic in at least 4 ways:

1) How would a federal NIL statute interact with states' right of publicity laws, which vary by state and which govern endorsements? If we don't know the answer, that's a problem.

2) Who or what would enforce a federal NIL statute? Would it be the FTC, which lacks relevant expertise and which didn't enforce another college sports federal law (SPARTA)?

3) The NCAA wants much more from Congress than to federalize NIL. It also wants an antitrust exemption and a declaration college athletes are not employees. Others in Congress want more than NIL as well, but from the other side, including a declaration college athletes are employees and are owed a cut of revenue and health care after college. This is substantively and politically complicated--and unlikely to go anywhere.

4) All of this is avoidable if the NCAA simply enforced its own rules. It already prohibits pay-for-play and wayward boosters. It doesn't need Congress. It needs to do its job. If the NCAA gets sued under antitrust law, the vast majority of antitrust lawsuits fail. Basically all the NCAA would need to show is its rules are reasonable. Not a high bar.

Benson at 13 feels like a steal. A lot to like in his game.

Bruins prospects vs. Eastern Conference:
- highest scoring rookie in AHL
- highest SV% rookie in AHL
- lowest GAA in NCAA
- highest scorer in Liiga
- highest scoring defenseman in QMJHL
- only team with two top-40 scorers in OHL

...and that's not including Lysell or Lohrei
