BTIG brokerage in Manhattan once a year has a charity event where lots of famous folks come in to help seal the deals for the day. (Commissions donated to charities)

NBR showed a clip. Messier was the first guy they showed, and I thought I saw JR towards the end. (The camera was following Miss USA and the SI swimsuit cover girl around.) Payton Manning and ARod were among other celebrities participating.

Friedman's "after ever round of playoffs" 30 thoughts, 1st round.

Includes discussion as to how the draft positions 15-30 will be determined (which is important for Sharks fans as we have NYI 5th and Calgary 4th picks in draft).

The other teams I can see the need.

Luke Richardson and McLellan among "initial candidates" for Buffalo new bench boss.

Congrats to Johnstown PA on being named America's Hockeyville for 2015.

They get to host preseason game between Tampa and Pittsburgh. (I noted Iceburgh there in the crowd to celebrate the win/fun.)

Don't pick a fight with a ref. You won't win.

 

[LadyStanley]

Devils name Ray Shero as GM. (Lamoriello retains president title)

 

[Nighthock]

Nice. One of my favorite logos ever.

 

[LadyStanley]

Hmmmm

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Isn't Boucher known for being a pain in the ass type of coach?

 

[LadyStanley]

End of an era.
