I've got no issue with the league suspending Bryan Rust for three games in a bubble. He hit him in the head. They should treat it more seriously

HOWEVER

That is definitely not the standard they've set for the league this year and certainly not the Florida Panthers of any recent year.

I'd turn into Buffalo sports radio right now but they have the state run media crew on there now. Bring on the morning or afternoon guys who will actually have something real to say about it

So Terry has his yes man GM for the Bills and the GM has his yes man coach. Masterful gambit

It is really tough to watch what Minneapolis went through and how hard they rallied together to then see this is what the side supposedly supporting them could come up with.

Weak and feckless.

Abolish this fake ass cosplaying department
Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told:

DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big)
CBP stays at border
warrants for arrests
IDs, bodycams
ICE out of churches, schools

"That package unites a lot of Dems," Sen Chris Murphy tells me on the pod:

A Dem Senator’s Harsh Takedown of Trump Hits Home: “Breaking Point”
As Trump scrambles to contain the damage from the latest ICE horrors, Senator Chris Murphy offers a sharp indictment of Trump-ICE lawlessness—and explains how Dems can meet the urgency of the moment.

Victory is when ICE is abolished in addition to Bovino, Noem, and Bondi found guilty and punished for their crimes

There are some Shane Wright rumors out there. Should Dubas be in on that? hockeyhotstove.com/is-shane-wri...
Is Shane Wright Or Wrong For Penguins? - Hockey HotStove
As of today Moneypuck has Pittsburgh at 72.4% to make the playoffs. This raises an interesting question for Dubas, will Penguins be buyers at trade deadline?

She's only one in room who thinks she was hired b/c she's a good journalist there to do "good" journalism

Nah Bari, you're Ted Nolan on his 2nd run with Sabres

You're there because you're incompetent and the org. wants you to be a disaster and break it all

Except CBS wont even get a Jack Eichel
NEWS: Bari Weiss will hold an all-hands meeting to discuss the future of CBS News tomorrow, per note that just went out to employees.

As Steve Kerr said yesterday we are being divided by media for profit

These people intentionally ignored reality and sane washed all warning signs b/c business was good

Now its gone too far to ignore thus, tone change

Same reason all those companies ditched their lgbtq support past few years
Bluesky idea: if people who didn't agree with you change their opinions so that they do agree with you, why not be happy that you are making progress - rather than complaining that they are "only just catching up"?

The Penguins won't be buyers in the classic sense at the deadline. They won't be buying rentals, might even be selling some.

What about another Chinakhov trade?

Is the Wright guy in Seattle?

Thought SEA had a pretty great game on offense. Klint Kubiak stock certainly didn't go down after this game

Bills would have to wait two weeks to talk to him. Might sound risky, but the other open jobs are the Raiders, Browns, and Cardinals

I'd wait to speak with him unless Udinski blew them away

With Seahawks going to the Super Bowl how about a hockey article related to Seattle?

Down 11 you can't be running on 2nd and 15 with Puka and Davante

STUART SKINNER GAME-SAVING STOP 😳

Shades of Marc-Andre Fleury in the 2009 #StanleyCup Final??

The Penguins swept their road trip (SEA, CGY, EDM, VAN) going 4-0. They have earned 12 out of their last 14 standings points. They now have 63 standings points, four clear of the third place Islanders with the same amount of games played

Skinner pulling out the MAF Game 7 save to preserve the lead was a dude battling to secure the victory. Among some other terrific saves during the sequence. Great job

You haven't played since Thursday, Muse is using all 4 lines. Get your legs moving on however many shifts you have left, no excuses

Regretfully, on the same day the Patriots have earned a Super Bowl berth I must admit that Tom Brady has gotten markedly better at his commentating job

Ben Kindel AGAIN 😱

The kid from Coquitlam, BC has his second of the night!
January 26, 2026 at 12:47 AM
Ben Kindel who had been on a 19 game goal drought now has two goals tonight in front of 180 family and friends in his hometown. Very cool.
⚠️ COOL MOMENT ALERT ⚠️

Ben Kindel scores in his first game in his home province with 150 friends and family in attendance!

A goal to remember for the 18-year-old!

How about the spin by Chinakhov on the breakout to free up Novak. From there it is a 2v1 with two slick customers. This line rules
