“He made his decisions. That’s all I’m going to say on that. He made his decisions.”

Nichushkin’s nameplate has already been replaced in the Avs locker room.

The Timberwolves are trying to go somewhere they haven’t been in 20 years. They’re trying to go through the defending champions.

This was never going to be easy. It’s supposed to be hard. theathletic.com/5487882/2024/0…

Valeri Nichushkin has been placed in Stage 3 of the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program -- which comes with a minimum six-month suspension without pay before he's eligible to apply for reinstatement.

Chris Mortensen spent the night before he died watching football drills on TV and cracking jokes on text threads.

Two months later, his loss is still felt across the NFL, where he changed the way the league is covered.
