Artemi Panarin Wants Out
The NHL, for reasons cultural and historical, is not like the NBA: You don’t see a lot of outright trade demands. That is to say, you do see trade demands, but they’re couched in language that tries to make them sound like anything but. This, if you’re attuned to it, could not possibly be any blunte...

Sergei Bobrovsky Sent Home By Blue Jackets After "Incident"
The Sergei Bobrovsky situation in Columbus has been a simmer, a slow-motion breakup.

Among other things, this was humanoid megafauna Zion Williamson’s first career game at the home of the Knicks, and so of course...
Zion Williamson Bonked His Forehead On The Damn Backboard
