Fans pay good money. They can cheer and boo as they please. I suggest you get over it Rupp. It’s going to keep happening.
“Dude, turn the page on Adam Fox. This is getting ridiculous.” Mike Rupp reacts to Calgary Flames fans STILL booing Adam Fox every time he touches the puck, years after he refused to sign with the team. 🎙️ Episode 72: Tri-State Hockey Podcast

It’s sad but it’s also an opportunity for new media organizations and individuals. Start building your brands and put out content just like traditional media “sports departments” would. Prove that you belong and sports organizations would be foolish not to get you accredited.
The lack of media is the saddest thing of all. No longer do most radio stations, tv stations and newspapers(those that are still alive) send reporters to cover the Grey Cup. Such is the state of our industry and it’s not going to change.

Last year, my son, Teller, was born prematurely. His life was saved by the team at Sisters Buffalo. To the nurses and doctors, thank you for everything. @PlayersTribune theplayerstribune.com/alex-t…

Talent alone doesn't win. The best teams have chemistry. They communicate, handle conflict, and hold each other accountable. Culture is everything. In the locker room, in business, and in life. What makes a great team culture?

Filip Chytil is expected to return to #Canucks line-up tonight. And, oh look, Riley Brace just happens to be one of the referees tonight. That's the guy Chytil collided with in the preseason. Canucks will need to make a roster move to activate Chytil from IR

Not completely true. 6 in 26 7 in 25 7 in 22. 7 in 20 13 in 21. No first 10 in 23 So…,sometimes not always.
The Carolina Hurricanes routinely have 10+ draft picks per season, EVEN as a contender. The 2000s Blackhawks had 17 draft picks in one year as they rounded out their Cup-winning core. Smart teams find ways to add more picks. #Canucks

Parker Kelly heads to the room with four seconds remaining with a possible arm/wrist injury. Mackinnon left the bench and Makar didn't play the final 5:20 of the 2nd which included an Avs PP. @HockeyHStove

Briere said Michkov has done everything asked of him. When it's a player the org expects to be there along time, it's important to get right in front of a report like yesterday's.

For those in #Canucks land concerned “age gap” or reclamation trades. There are times when players need a change of scenery. Hoglander Podkolzin Shane Wright Dawson Mercer Sam Bennett Mason McTavish Simon Nemec. Yes, the draft is important. But that is not the only way to find players. RJ should be finding players anyway he can.

The Canucks need high draft picks and high talent. But they also need found money. A good example. Flames getting Jonathan Castagna. Not a high draft pick, But a player who will go up and down your lineup.
"We're not going to trade away players just to get more draft picks," said Henrik Sedin. "You also need to put a better product on the ice." #Canucks "Draft picks alone isn't going to get us through this," adds Daniel later on.
