Tons of amazing quotes about Nikita Kucherov in @JoeSmithNHL’s Athletic article: “The guy just does breathe different air. It’s just amazing to watch. Right now, call it what it is. Nobody is playing better in the league right now than him.” - Eddie Olczyk “He’s one of the best players, how he’s reading the game, how he moves the puck... Everyone think it looks slow. In the game, it’s so fast. Great timing all the time. Great hockey sense. I think everything he does is fun to watch.” - Kirill Kaprizov “His brain is at another level. McDavid is a special player, but bigger, faster, stronger doesn’t always translate to the best players. Kucherov’s speed is very underrated; his skating is very underrated. His ability to read plays and have the skill to make those plays makes him the special player he is.” - Jeff Halpern “He doesn’t skate like Connor (McDavid) does, but he does a lot of other things that some of these guys can’t do, right? I think if you ask players around the league, he’s probably one of the players that guys say that they enjoy watching because it’s not as obvious as blowing by someone on the ice or making a power move like MacKinnon. I mean, it’s kind of like an art.” - Steven Stamkos “He possesses everything. He probably elects more to be a playmaker, But if you see him shoot the puck, if you see him turn on skating, he can move. So there’s really nothing he can’t do. The game can be chaotic, and he has that calming presence.” - Zach Bogosian #GoBolts

It would seem the injury monster that wounded the Lightning all season has now gone after the Rays! 2nd player in 2 days starting out in IL.

mission accomplished.

Credit to Tampa for being a tremendous host city for a major sporting event. This is downtown Tampa after midnight Sunday following the NCAA Tournament. Beautiful. Clean. No disgusting stench.

@TBLightning your turn!

The Athletic ranked the lineups of all 30 teams for 2026. Thoughts?

World Series contenders: • Dodgers • Phillies • Mets • Cubs • Red Sox • Mariners • Tigers • Royals Will be good: • Pirates • Giants • Padres • Brewers • Royals • Blue Jays • Rangers • Orioles Will surprise: • A’s • Pirates • D-Backs • Rays Will be horrible: • Angels • Twins • Rockies • Nationals

@ZachAbolverdi Yep such a family to him he bouncing after one season and going to his 3rd college in 3 years.

As Boogie Fland tried to gather his thoughts after Sunday’s game, he overheard Micah Handlogten’s interview. “They’re more than just teammates to me, they’re my brothers.” “Yeah,” Fland said. “What he said.” Fland talks the loss and his future. STORY: on3.com/teams/florida-…

@Stephers2807 Hagel can do whatever he wants, just be ready for retaliation and don't complain if he gets hurt.

Dahlin deserves everything Marchand gave

Steven Stamkos has helped the @PredsNHL move into the Western Conference’s final Wild Card spot and his goal-scoring resurgence is backed by strong advanced stats. #NHLStats Read the full breakdown: nhl.com/news/topic/nhl…

@TayVictoria8 Can we get a job with the Rays as the title of Official Fan Ambassador?

Nevada, Ohio, Kentucky, Arizona, and all over the Bay, the cowbells are on their way 😊

On top ⭐️ KUUUUUUUUCH has been named the @NHL's First Star of the Week!

Another weekly award for Kucherov.

@PantherPourri No he just dog piled on top Dahlin and punching him while he was down on ice just as dirty as Hagel. You are biased and can’t even admit what Marchand did was dirty. I won’t argue with you.

@Stephers2807 At no point did Marchand punch the back of Dahlin’s head directly into the ice. You’re being ridiculous to think that something comparable happened here. Get a grip.

Is the same thing in the room with us? x.com/Stephers2807/s…
