Agreed on Torre. That's real journalism. Something we sorely lack these days.
Also agree on wondering how the guy signing the checks can really be suspended. As if nobody is going to call him for advice, permission... If they hadn't finally won, I'd say the Knicks would be so much better off if ...

Re: Hellebuyck publicly on the get me out of Canada list


Winnipeg should've taken the Buffalo offer at the draft: 4th overall, Quinn, UPL.

Would've nabbed a future top dman, a second-line winger and a decent 1G replacement. They won't get that now unless there's another guy with a trade request Chevy can pounce on.

Slow season continues for the Avs and the rest of the NHL, but in other news, I just read that Artturi Lehkonen just got married, to former figure skater and the daughter of retired NHLer Ville Peltonen, Emmi Peltonen. She's Finnish but was born in Nashville.
