Bobby Ryan—an ok former player from an obscure league—has spent 24 hours filling his diaper that nobody cares about women’s sports. Meanwhile, the NHL has drawn a larger audience for one (1) of its games (in 1972) in its entire league history compared to the women’s semi-final

Life as a Sens fan: You want Erik Karlsson? Here's Dylan DeMelo. You want Lebreton? Here's a lawsuit. You want someone with NHL GM experience? Here's Pierre Dorion. You want Mark Stone? Here's Bobby Ryan. We can't have nice things.

I don’t think anyone is expecting them to spend “to the top of the cap” but it’s time to start getting value for money instead of dead weight to reach the cap floor. Which means getting zaitsev (maybe Murray) off the books.

Brady is fair to take issue with the “Fire DJ” chant. I think that’s what he means by “bullshit” here. But the “negativity from the outside” and “constant booing” are not true. Fans have been veeery patient—and shouldn’t be more frustrated than the players are. This is soft.
