DJ touts Byfield for months, then jumps ship to Anze freaking Kopitar on national Quinton Byfield Day. Fearing the worst for what will happen to our beautiful Logan Cooley stacks. @dj_mitchell94 Nick Schmaltz is a great play today!

they said everything’s bigger in texas… they weren’t Lying.

A live look at DJ's morning routine:

hell yeah.

I really think the Rangers need to put Gabe Perreault back on PP1. It’s been abysmal since Miller took his spot when he returned to the lineup. Go back to what was working and give the kid a chance to make an impact in a role the organization needs him to develop in.

Coincidentally, that run began the day that this tweet went out. Ain’t that something. #FlyTogether

Going live in 15 for tomorrow’s huge slate! @FakeMoods | @MorningSkatePod youtube.com/live/GwH983cKo…

Next up.. fire the GM who went into this season with Drew Doughty and Cody Ceci as their RHD anchors.

hell yes. let's just go all the way

GAME WINNER AHHHHHH HUGE DAY FOR ALL OF US LIFELONG ST. JOHN’S FANS SINCE EARLIER THIS QUARTER WHEN IT LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE GONNA FOLD WE DID IT WE EARNED THIS

There are no words to express how heartbroken we all are. Jessi Pierce (Hinrichs) was the most vibrant person - the life of the party, always with a smile on her face, always bringing a passion to every article and podcast and interview she did. Jessi simply loved covering the Wild and hockey throughout Minnesota and had a way of brightening everyone’s day with her upbeat, bubbly personality. I have literally NEVER met anybody that had a way of being EVERYBODY’s friend. More than anything, she absolutely loved Hudson, Cayden and Avery and was the greatest mother who did everything she could to bring joy to her sweetest kids. Even at Friday’s practice in her beloved Iowa State sweatshirt, she was so excited to take them to the seasonal opening of Cup and Cone in WBL. Seeing those precious pics yesterday, she provided them with another incredibly fun and loving day. My heart breaks for Mike for the loss of his wife and children and Jessi’s family, friends and colleagues for this unimaginable loss. This hockey community lost a wonderful, energetic and one of a kind voice and story teller and Grade A person. Life can be unbearably unfair sometimes, and it’s impossible to make sense of this tragedy. Please keep Jessi and her beautiful kids in your thoughts and prayers. I wish Mike all the peace and support and happiness in the world. A lot of tears were shed at the arena yesterday. We, in the Wild media and inside the Wild, will miss seeing Jessi everyday, laughing with her everyday. The press box and press room won’t be the same without her. It’ll be a lot quieter, a lot less funny. But her passion and joy for covering this hockey team and sport will remain. Sorry for the length of this, but as Jessi knew better than most as my original Athletic “backup” and somebody who always gave me Minnesota Hockey Journal deadline extensions, as she used to joke, I’m incapable of writing tight. Especially about her. RIP Jessi, Hudson, Cayden and Avery. 🙏💔

@DownGoesBrown As one of the few Cleveland Browns/Buffalo Sabres fans not in an insane asylum, your last paragraph would have caused for me to have a major issue.

no newsletter today, but the good causes continue. It's been a great week in our little corner of the NHL universe. If you'd like to give back in any way, check out the link DJ shared or keep up with the weekly posts. Here's a grab from a recent interview about this initiative:

I play puck with some of the guys who run the event and the concert is awesome if you’re in the Buffalo area. Details: linktree.com/theconcertforj… Please reply with your donation and I’ll RT them all!

Is there a fucking limit on one times? What the hell is this winning slip, did I do the same podcast as him?

Erik Karlsson has shifted into god gear. His game is pure brilliance right now. Kris Letang, however, has never looked worse. My column on two fascinating defensemen and how they’re influencing the Penguins during their stunning playoff push: nytimes.com/athletic/71302…
