How it started: How it's going:

I mushed it

@ZachHicks2 Windsor Lancers legend

Devin Veresuk snubbed

Fast forward 2 years - the Colts are considering cutting Alec Pierce because he is a cap casualty Also they still haven’t figured out their QB situation

Imagine how good this generation's NHL players would be if Fortnite didn't exist

Can't wait for all of the casuals to forget about hockey for the next 4 years

Tails always fails

The Chris Ballard era in Indy: • First team to be 6 games above .500 and finish with a losing record (2025) • Two seasons with a 95% chance of making the playoffs and failing to do so (2021, 2025) • Largest blown lead in NFL history — 33 points (2022)

People that have been held accountable for Indy’s playoff drought since 2020: • Carson Wentz • Matt Ryan • Anthony Richardson • Frank Reich • Morocco Brown Not held accountable: • The man that brought all of them to Indy

CBS needs to stage an intervention for Tony Romo about the amount of telestration he uses before the snap

JORDAN MCDONALD, THAT SHOT IS PURE BRILLIANCE! #Trials2025

@justinhomes1 NHL outsider strikes again

@DonaldMcJordan No Blackhawk news

Shea Weber is inactive vs former team. Sources tell @DonaldMcJordan

The worst part about all of this is that I rushed to take Sanderson out of my fantasy lineup. And once I found out he was playing, it was too late. Sanderson legacy game incoming @peadarhouston

This was my source - NHL media website Apologies for the misinformation, I'll try better next time

who the fuck is Jordan McDonald?

Jake Sanderson inactive for tonight's game #Senators

@grok @saul_ugar @DTSB_98 @afc_joco @GROK does @afc_joco know ball?

@saul_ugar @DTSB_98 @afc_joco Glad the facts are popping up! To clarify: Toronto Maple Leafs have 13 Cups, modern Ottawa Senators (since 1992) have 0, though the original Senators claimed 11 before the franchise folded in 1934. NHL doesn't merge them.

Loser franchise

After going down another random Wikipedia wormhole, TIL that Brewers manager Pat Murphy is the father-in-law of former major-leaguer Pedro Alvarez

Another edition of random jerseys in the wild: Justin Smoak #13 This jersey is particularly special because Smoak changed his number from 14 to 13 after the 2015 trade deadline, when the Blue Jays acquired David Price. Smoak changed his number back to 14 the following season

The trade is one for none. Which is to say I’m exchanging my semi-retired TSN life of the last five years — doing the World Junior Championships, NHL Draft Rankings, a handful of Toronto Maple Leaf broadcasts, TradeCentre and Free Agent Frenzy — for a fully-retired life of doing absolutely nothing. Well, nothing work related anyway. Today’s Free Agent Frenzy is the last working day in a 48-year professional career that included stops at The Sault Star, The Globe and Mail, The Hockey News (twice), The Toronto Star, TSN, ESPN and NBC, amongst others. It’s been quite a ride. I’ll be 69 years old in August. I decided a few months ago it’s as nice a time as any to call it a career with the expiry of my current contract. If I had been so inclined to continue doing the World Juniors and draft rankings etc. at TSN, the opportunity was certainly there for me to do so. And I’m so grateful to TSN for that. Honestly, though, I am looking forward to waking up on Christmas morning this year and NOT flying to Minneapolis-St. Paul for the World Juniors. I’m also looking forward to doing more travelling with my wife Cindy; having more time to give my sons Mike and Shawn unwanted (and unneeded) advice; playing even more golf than I am now; and having my two wonderful grandchildren Blake and Gunnar running my show on a full-time basis. After almost 50 years in the business, there are far too many people to thank individually, so I won’t even try to name any lest I leave some out. Just know that I’ve been blessed to work for, work with and work against so many great people who gave me boundless opportunity, incredible support and intense motivation. The nearly five decades have gone by in the blink of an eye. I certainly never set out to be the TSN Hockey Insider. It never occurred to me that I would work in television. All I wanted to be when I grew up was a hockey writer, to have a “job” to watch, write and talk about the game. You know, tell a few stories and try to capture the spirit of the thing. Mission accomplished, I guess. I couldn’t say goodbye now without a special thanks to everyone at TSN, past and present. I first started showing up on the network in or around 1986-87. In the 1990s, I was working full-time hours at TSN but still had a full time newspaper job, too. Since 2000, 25 years ago, TSN has been my primary professional home. It’s been a very special place on so many levels. The best part of TSN has always been the people. The best people doing the best work. What an honour to be one small part of the unsurpassed excellence that is TSN. Every time I’ve walked out of Studio Six at the end of Free Agent Frenzy on July 1, I’ve said to myself: “It doesn’t get any better than that.” And it doesn’t. That’s especially true on this Canada Day because I’m so very proud to be a Canadian. 🇨🇦 I’m a very lucky guy. I owe the game of hockey, and all the people within it — the players, coaches, managers, executives, scouts, agents et al — so much; I owe my family and friends even more.  Finally, thank you to anyone who has ever read, watched or listened to any of my work in any form at any outlet over the last 48 years. It’s been a privilege to share some information with you all, and try to have a few laughs along the way on social media or whatever they’re calling it these days. I’ve cherished it all. Fully Completely. ✌️and 💕  -30-
