Remember when @NHL had real broadcasters like Gary Thorne or Doc who electrified the game? @espn uses nerds like McDonough and Ferraro who put everyone to sleep.

@Cupcrazy100 @RedSox Xhekaj nickname is “wi-fi” not password

@RedSox guy on the montreal canadiens already has that nickname

The Password makes his debut in Game 2!

@notgaetti @jaysonst I’m no baseball historian but wouldn’t Griffey or Ichiro take RF over Judge?

Can you think of anyone you’d replace on @jaysonst’s MLB All-Quarter-Century Team? (If you say Ohtani over Ortiz, my answer is maybe [probably?] at some point, but not yet.) For me, the lowest-hanging fruit is Molina, but is anyone actually a lock to replace him? I’m not sure.

@AnnouncersNHL @espn: @espnbob is your #1 guy. Not even close. Make it happen.

Bob Wischusen’s final call of the 2024-25 NHL season:

@Comiskey22 @NHL @espn totally bombed another intro tonight. McDonough and Ferraro are unwatchable. Bring back NBC

NHL on NBC was so superior to ESPN and TNT in every way. You simply can’t beat these intros narrated by Doc Emrick.

@BonkDaCarnivore Don’t blame politicians or economy. Blame Draft Kings, FanDuel and online casinos. Why go to Vegas when you can lose your money from your own couch

MGM laying off all concierge staff at all Vegas resorts except Aria and Bellagio; closing buffet at Excalibur, parking staff reductions due to lower visitor counts and demand. The Golden Age continues

@TaylorMadeGolf 56 and heading right to the drop zone

You're facing a front pin on a 168-yard par-3 with the wind slightly into you. There are bunkers short of the green, and water to the left. What club are you pulling? #P790

@BBGreatMoments Lady in the back: “That’s the power of Pine-Sol, Baby”

Angels in the Outfield is such as classic.

@frentfrederic $25 bucket or gansett isn’t something to brag about. Those are $2 at Sullys Tap

I love Boston.

@NUCLRGOLF The boat

@BR_OpenIce @reporterchris Is there a world where Marchand gets dealt then resigns a two year contract with Boston this summer? Has that ever happened?

While the Bruins and Brad Marchand are discussing a contract extension, “they’re still open to potentially trading their captain” according to @reporterchris 👀

@GlobeSchools I wish kids played youth and HS hockey for their town. That’s how it was for me. Played with my best friends from 6-18 years old. And we had two Super 8 runs. Unfortunately, HS hockey is only 4 months long. NCAA is a global recruiting pool. Only way to NCAA is year round program

Gone are the simple days of playing town hockey, then for the local high school, then heading off to play in college. We are now the wild west of the east. Coming tomorrow at Globe.com/Schools 🖋Matthew Porter and Cam Kerry 📸Matthew J. Lee/Globe Staff

@NHL @Canes Forgot Hartford was in North Carolina. This continues to be embarrassing for a team that is already very easy to hate

The @Canes are rocking the old school Whalers uniforms tonight, and they look absolutely fire. 🔥

@BlackAndGold277 @emilymkaplan Imagine Brazeau asking for anything more than league minimum. Guy is a gross waste of size

Per @emilymkaplan the Boston Bruins and pending unrestricted free agent forward Justin Brazeau are far apart in their contract talks. #NHLBruins #NHL

Charlie McAvoy leading the United States of Mighty Ducks out in the 3rd period tonight. USA…USA…QUACK…QUACK @4NationsHockey @NHLBruins @usahockey

@BenStiller This was the first movie I watched when we got Disney+. Then Brink of course

Somehow I don’t think this will be at the head of the Disney+ queue ever. In fact I’m not sure they are aware they made it. But that was an incredibly fun summer in North Carolina 30 years ago. #Heavyweights

Today we recognize our favorite athletes who’ve worn the number 24. I’ll start:

@Walpolehockey Awesome! Great work coaches

Coleman Walsh!

@NHL @ESPNPlus @Sportsnet Why are we stuck with Sean McDonough? @espnbob is 1,000x better. Also Emily Kaplan is still unwatchable

A look at tonight's projected lineups for USA and Canada. 🧐 #4Nations 🇺🇸: ABC & @ESPNPlus ➡️ plus.espn.com 🇨🇦: @Sportsnet or stream on Sportsnet+ ➡️ watch.sportsnet.ca

@BR_OpenIce Joe Thornton

Fill in the blank: Mikko Rantanen is the biggest name traded in-season since _______ 🤔
