NJ Devils since 1988 Mets 1973. Fordham basketball 1983

Tom Fitzgerald made his share of mistakes but the biggest "How We Got Here" thing is that NJ acquired Timo Meier when he looked like he was on the precipice of becoming a top-five NHL winger and instead he's just been "pretty good." I can't really diagnose why.



Also I have to say, and this may somewhat unpopular.. but whatever Sheldon Keefe is not a bad coach, and I had WAY more interest in keeping him around compared to Tom. I wonder where he stands right now.. Not saying I’m 100% in or out on him, but I think the team should consider keeping him. Would really depend on the next GM and his interest in working w him Tom was a must go. Keefe I’m open minded





There are legitimately few things in sports I love more than when a dude stands up for his teammate… Brenden Dillon jumped in the second Jack Hughes hit the ice. Ended up with an instigator penalty (BS) & Jack showed him love Love everything about it


@HowieRose The late 70s/early 80s would have been different for the Mets? (genuine question)


They're throwing out the record books!


Geno Auriemma with a statement following his actions at the end of UConn's matchup with South Carolina: "There’s no excuse for how I handled the end of the game vs. South Carolina. It’s unlike what I do and what our standard is here at Connecticut. I want to apologize to the staff and the team at South Carolina. It was uncalled for in how I reacted. The story should be how well South Carolina played, and I don’t want my actions to detract from that. I’ve had a great relationship with their staff, and I sincerely want to apologize to them."









Francisco Lindor is not concerned about the Mets' offense: "We are a couple pitches away from getting the ball rolling on our side"



Brutal loss for the Mets. Multiple mental lapses. Terrible situational hitting. This team was built to hit in clutch, yet the RISP blues are back - 0-for-11 today, 1-for-29 in the series. I'm filling in for Todd Zeile on Mets' post-game, talking about it with @gappleSNY
