One staff member recalls that every time Cave was recalled from the AHL he would come to the rink and head straight to the staff offices to give everyone a hug. Only player they can recall doing that. "A truly decent and loving person."

I want to tip my hat to our entire TSN crew. Our truck did over 4 hrs of live television commercial free. It required exemplary performances from so many talented people behind the scenes. I’m extremely proud of our team, and humbled to work with such dedicated professionals.

Sounds like Tyler Smith is close to making a return to the @HumboldtBroncos lineup, possibly as soon as this weekend. Will join Camrud and Patter as survivors from the crash back in Bronco colours. Amazing accomplishment! Best of luck Tyler.

Cave was absolutely beloved in the locker rooms he was part of. I didn’t know him well, but always noted that anyone who did spoke glowingly about his character and his presence within the group. Thoughts are with his family, his loved ones and the entire Oiler family.

McDavid talked a lot about the Amazon series tonight. Said people are going to see a lot of raw emotion.
Give him credit though.. neither he nor the team pulled back any footage. He said “they shot it, they might as well use it”.
Said he never wanted to be centre stage…/

The poor goaltending on this team is fully on Ken Holland. 2 years in a row he failed to address it, and now he is seeing it crush the spirit of his team. The Oilers showed up to play tonight, and goaltending (theirs and Floridas) decimated a fragile team again.../

Jake DeBrusk's agent Rick Valette spoke with Bruins GM Don Sweeney last week and informed him that DeBrusks trade request was rescinded, and that he'd be happy to remain a Bruin moving forward. DeBrusk has 2 years left at 4m, and could still be moved but unlikely at this point.

Speaking with US staff, the team had a motto - “one barrel at a time”. This was their last barrel and they’ve been putting team logos on them each game. That was the barrel for this game and the reason they brought it out. They say it wasn’t a trash can.

McDavid looked pretty shell shocked today. Said he woke up to a text message like everyone else yesterday, that he didn’t know it was coming. Similar sense from Draisaitl. Both said this is on the players, not the coaches.

Not amplifying with a comment thread or tags - just a statement.
Screen shotting and Tweeting out private messages with someone you are engaged in a private argument with - displays a stunning lack of character. It’s pathetic and embarrassing.
