On Evgeni Malkin, what we know, the pros of him returning, the cons of him returning, and so much more on the story of the off-season. Read about it here: nytimes.com/athletic/72533…

I will remind you of this: Kyle Dubas has repeatedly stated that he doesn’t just want the Penguins to be a team that’s good enough to reach the playoffs. He wants to build a championship team. Take that as you will as he enters the off-season.

Dan Muse: “At no point am I expecting this season to end today. Everybody on this team, all the players, staff, they invested a lot. So when it’s over, it hurts a lot.” The Flyers eliminate the Penguins in overtime of Game 6.

Family 💛

"We have time to look back on the season, there's a lot of things to like... we had an opportunity to get ourselves back in the series, it just didn't work." Sidney Crosby following elimination ⬇️

Here’s what Sidney Crosby had to say about tonight’s loss

A highly encouraging season for the Pens. Just took them too long to find it in this series. The better team as it wore on, including tonight. But the first 3 games count too. Changes ahead but plenty to build on. Whether 71 is around for it is the biggest ? ahead

New #Steelers WR Eli Heidenreich on having the draft in his hometown: "This city rocks. I think more people need to realize it. ... It was such a fantastic event from across the board."

Mike McCarthy on his first impressions of Gennings Dunker: "Yeah, I mean we love his hair. I'm sure our marketing department loves it even more."

Steelers coach Mike McCarthy on 3rd-rd QB Drew Allar: "He's a young man that can throw the ball with the rest of them, and that's a good start to have."

Mike McCarthy on Drew Allar: "We talked about it in my interview, just from a philosophical standpoint. We want to have a quarterback room that we're always developing." He reiterated that Allar's drafting has nothing to do with Aaron Rodgers coming back.

Steelers coach Mike McCarthy says that drafting Drew Allar "does not at all" affect the decision on Aaron Rodgers coming back

Steelers GM Omar Khan after a draft in which 6 of the first 7 picks are on offense

Omar Khan on the Makai Lemon phone mishap: "There was no ill-intent when we made the call. ... the draft throws curveballs at you in every round."

Omar on an offensive-heavy draft: "That just sort of came that way. That's how the draft sorted itself out. We didn't go in there saying we're going to draft nine defensive guys."

Omar Khan on the Eli Heidenreich pick: “You can’t help but get emotional when you see that at the end.”

#Steelers GM Omar Khan at the podium: "Awesome weekend, it truly was. ... I can't tell you how awesome the feedback has been (about Pittsburgh hosting the draft)."
