A logjam in the middle of the Hockey East men’s standings sets up what should be a wild final two weeks of the regular season.

I've had two people ask me today if I plan to write another book. I'd love to, but it would help a ton if more people bought a copy of my first one, which I think is pretty darn good, or left a rapturous, borderline orgasmic, review. www.simonandschuster.com/books/From-H...

Spring has sprung!

If all that McDonalds and Ketamine could hurry it up a little bit, we'd be forever grateful.

Now That’s A Win Folks ☘️🏀👊

It wasn’t pretty, but UMass hockey got the job done against UNH at home Saturday. The Minutemen’s 3-1 win moved them up to 12th in the Pairwise ratings and inside the expected NCAA Tournament cutline: www.gazettenet.com/UMass-hockey...

Sorry, not buying the "4 Nations Cup was 'bigger than hockey'" B.S. The ONLY reason there were "geopolitical tensions" surrounding last night's game was because the president was a d*ck about it on social media Obviously it was a great game. But Tr*mp ruined it for me #FourNations #USA #Canada

Ah that's a shame

Here's a new column for @USCHO: This Week in @Hockey_East: In first full year as coach, Wielder has @UVMmhockey believing, ‘pushing the program forward’ www.uscho.com/2025/02/20/t...

Jon Scheyer with an injury update this morning on Maliq Brown: "Positive news. There's nothing abnormal that you aren't ready to see, with a dislocated shoulder. We're optimistic we can get him back this season." Says they did all the imaging. He'll be out a few weeks minimum, though.

Theft is wrong and I don't condone it! Yet...

Your semi-regular reminder my latest book, “The Great Football Trivia Challenge,” is available now. Pick up a copy at your favorite local bookstore or order online here: www.skyhorsepublishing.com/sports-publi...

Yeah I'm sure Hannity and Kirk and Shapiro and Travis and all the other right-wing media f*ckheads would be completely chill with Biden or Obama posting this sh*t

If you can immediately tell me what #Seinfeld episode this is, we are friends Obviously we can be friends even if you're not into "Seinfeld" but you know what I'm saying

Men's college hockey notebook: Holy Cross in the driver's seat for AHA; Maine pulls even with BC, and Hockey East has 7 of top 13 teams in the PairWise

This is what happens when only a few people are allowed to be on television

I’m at the MAD TV 30 year anniversary show at The Baked Potato on Ventura. I’m the only one here — does it start later? Little help?

The rush to label still young baseball prospects as "busts" has gotten out of control. A plea for sanity. www.stltoday.com/sports/colum...

UNH really could've used that point but good result for the Wildcats

Our @dbonifant.bsky.social wrote this fantastic story celebrating the 50th anniversary of the girls basketball tournament in Maine. Please give it a read. #mesports www.pressherald.com/2025/02/13/5...

"Victory for Trump" fucking CNN

Albuquerque Academy's Alex Bregman joins former Albuquerque Duke Alex Cora on the #RedSox The team should be renamed "The 'Albuquerque Dukes' of the American League!"

Now that Trump has taken the reins of the Kennedy Center, I await the announcement that the Village People will be honored and "Y.M.C.A." be declared the center's official song. I'm not even sure I'm kidding.

Luka getting Utah twice in a row for his Lakers debut is like a college team starting off against two Division II schools

Loved talking with the great Dante Scarnecchia. He shared some thoughts on why he's not interested in a return to coaching--even as a consultant--the Patriots' possibly taking a tackle at No. 4, what he looked for in offensive line prospects, new OL coach Doug Marrone, and much more.
