This is what every Carolina Hurricanes-New York Rangers playoff game looks like.

Matt's writing was basically the only example I can think of where league media was allowed to be even remotely critical of any decision a team made. It's a big reason why I loved MLS. This, combined with the cynical Apple deal, has killed a lot of that feeling of league media serving fan interest.

Andrew Siciliano on Gold Zone just asked what the Italian word is for "Zamboni" and, buddy, you're not going to believe this...

The fact that her reaction is almost certainly opportunistic makes this more, not less, significant.

The simplest way to understand the Bad Bunny backlash (aside from racism) is that MAGA won the 2024 elections in what they believe was a landslide to control all three branches of government and they believed a cultural mandate would follow.

"A field of green grass"

For the second-straight year, Drake is humiliated at the Super Bowl.

By the way, I rented a car and I drove around Puerto Rico last year and it was incredible. I miss the food. I miss the beaches. The history and culture are awesome.

Dreaming of a day in the future when this guy is politically irrelevant and these deranged posts are just funny.

so far tonight bad bunny has sung more reggaeton songs than the patriots and seahawks combined

The worst people you can think of are SO mad right now

Massie on Howard Lutnick: "He should just resign. Three people in Great Britain resigned for less than what we've seen Howard Lutnick lie about. He clearly went to the island, if we believe what's in these files. He was in business with Jeffrey Epstein."

"He's closing rural hospitals to cut taxes for George Soros and Elon Musk" is incredible messaging. A blueprint for how moderate Dems can and should try to convert voters rather than by trying to be Diet Republicans.

the Spectator accidentally recycled a subhed from a previous day’s article about Tehran

I think what Kathy Hochul is doing in NY right now is highly important. As a moderate, she has refused to do both-sidesism, unapologetically painting Zohran as a good-faith actor with whom she can collaborate while refusing to cede any ground to Trump.

My deep dive into the Artemi Panarin trade. Including: - A Liam Greentree scouting report (with video). An intriguing prospect in spite of everything else. - Why it's hard to square a "retool" vision with a trade like this bleacherreport.com/articles/253...

There is mitigating context, but trading Pavel Buchnevich, Chris Kreider, and Artemi Panarin for a combined package that's basically the same as what you paid to rent Andrew Copp is ridiculous work.

Trade grades: The Rangers got what they could for Panarin in narrow circumstances and... it is what it is. bleacherreport.com/articles/253...

If I had to guess what's going on with Panarin at the moment: NYR have the concepts of trades built out with two, maybe three teams, and now Panarin's agent is trying to play them off each other to try to get better offers.

The big mystery with Panarin is how flexible he's willing to be. It's one thing to prefer FLA or TBL. It's another to demand it. After the Olympic break, the season is over in six weeks. It would be pretty easy to ride it out with NYR and then go where he wants in the summer.

NY Jews have overwhelmingly progressive views on things like funding childcare, ICE, tariffs, vaccine requirements, & sanctuary cities. It would be nice if politicians & organizations like the ADL focused on legislating our policy goals instead of yelling about Ms. Rachel.

If the Panthers are truly in on Panarin, I do wonder if this waits until the trade deadline. @puckpedia.com told me that teams continue to accumulate cap space even through the Olympic roster freeze. The longer it waits, the easier it is for FLA to make it happen.

Jarrell Miller getting his fucking toupee punched off is boxing legacy holy fuck lmao

"An alarming number of rich and powerful people saw an illiterate serial sex offender as the lodestar for a bunch of geopolitical, economic, and social matters" puts a significant dent in the concept of American capitalism as a meritocracy.

Catherine O'Hara playing Moira Rose is the pinnacle of sitcom acting. Nobody will ever play a role better. It's perfect TV.

I’m not sure how to post anything about the Rangers without being negative the entire time. If anyone has any ideas let me know!

@nmercad.bsky.social Do you know any good pizza places around Norwalk?

Such a good article

NYR should keep giving Scott Morrow icetime the rest of the season because the games don't matter and they have no reason not to, but I'm becoming increasingly pessimistic about his future. The decision-making is bad as I was warned about.

I will miss Dan so dearly. What a guy, what a coworker, what a legend. Dan McQuade Forever. defector.com/dan-mcquade-...

Borgen has been abysmal the last few months. No way around it.

Feels like I'm going to watch 60 minutes of Mat Barzal and Matthew Schaefer skate circles around one of the slowest teams in the NHL.

Artemi Panarin (presumably) finishes his New York Rangers career with 607 regular season points in 482 games played. He leaves the organization with the franchise record for points-per-game (1.26).

Forgot to tweet this out earlier: Trade grades for the Carson Soucy move from NYR to Long Island bleacherreport.com/articles/253...

Awesome. Sam is great.

As a Jew, one of the most important works I've ever read was "The Need to Forget" by Holocaust survivor Yehuda Elkana. I highly recommend it to everyone (Jew or not). www.jewishvoiceforlabour.org.uk/app/uploads/...

This kind of authentic community collaboration is something billionaire dorks can't buy and it makes them mad.

You need a NASA-funded telescope to find any positives for NYR this season, but one has been the growth of Matthew Robertson into an 82-game NHL defenseman.

I would like the Rangers to celebrate 100 years with "Remember Some Guys" Night. It's just Sam Rosen bringing out guys that he remembers.

I feel like this is Ossoff, no?

“Abolish ICE” - ICE www.nytimes.com/2026/01/26/u...

Bluesky is dominated by Millenials who watched an entire political class send us into the Iraq War, scold those who protested against it, and then went "oops" with zero consequences faced.

During the Soviet era, at times of govt instability, the state broadcaster would typically preempt scheduled broadcasts by airing performances of Swan Lake

Defeating fascism with the tactics of the average Europa League supporters group.

A prediction for the next ICE propaganda tactic: Claiming whistles are weapons that make it so that law enforcement can't communicate and it's to blame for any mishaps.

We have an incredible community of sports writers who have helped Bluesky become a meaningful place for discussing live events and news. Ahead of today's playoffs, we're sharing the below starter pack as just a sampling of names that have brought us expert coverage throughout the year.

This is good. We need to take back patriotism. Not in a way that is hollow — chanting "USA" at rallies — but legitimately reclaiming the flag from fascists and inspiring memories of the revolution.

Being a rich CEO sounds absolutely boring. Billions of dollars and yet you have to spend your weekend watching the Melania movie and then pretending it was Oscar-worthy.
