Most of the time the New York Rangers’ Ryan Reaves is a supreme annoyance to Caps fans but on Tuesday night during Game Four he trolled the mess out of Carolina Hurricanes right wing defenseman Tony DeAngelo and then laughed in his face.
Everyone liked that.

George Floyd died on May 25, after a police officer knelt on his neck for more than eight minutes. His death has sparked sorrow and protests across the country, demanding meaningful change. While many high-profile athletes have shared their opinions on the event, including LeBron James and Colin Kaepernick, the NHL has been relatively quiet.
Two Black players, JT Brown and Evander Kane, were the first to speak up. In an interview with ESPN’s First Take, Kane called on other high profile athletes “like Tom Brady and Sidney Crosby” to do something.
“We need so many more athletes–that don’t look like me–speaking out about this,” he said, “having the same amount of outrage that I have inside, and using that to voice their opinion, to voice their frustration, because that’s the only way it’s going to change.”
Since that time, more NHL players–both white and Black–have added their voices to the call for change. Here’s who they are and what they had to say.

We all have strengths and things we struggle with. On Thursday, several NHL players showed off one thing they can’t do well: draw.
During the NHL Media Tour, star players met with media outlets to conduct interviews, take photos, and film content that will be used throughout the season. USA Today Sports did something different. They asked about a dozen players to draw their own team’s logos. The players were allowed to look at the logo if they needed inspiration.
The results vary, but most of these drawings look like a 5-year-old’s artwork a hockey mom hangs on the fridge.

The always-smiling, always-happy Nate Schmidt dropped his gloves again for the second time this season (here was his first). This time Schmidt threw hands with 21-year-old Max Domi. Domi tried to take Schmidt’s head off behind the net and…
Uh oh. We’ve got a Schmidtuation change! NATE CRUSH MODE INITIALIZE.
