NHL playoffs have plenty of intrigue — but who has enough to win the Stanley Cup?
NY Post
On Thursday night, we were all Blue Jackets. For all time, we will remember Columbus, a team, organization and fan base that elevated the sport in the wake of unspeakable tragedy.
The Jackets may have fallen short in their quest to make the playoffs but the franchise shined a light on the power of community in Columbus’ response to the deaths of the beloved Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau.
Just about every team likes to call itself a family. Much, if not most of the time, that’s a fable. But not the 2024-25 Blue Jackets, inspired by Meredith Gaudreau, Johnny’s widow, and the entire clan, represented the best of families.
Credit the organization; credit the stewardship of president-general manager Don Waddell; the influence of senior adviser John Davidson; the leadership of head coach Dean Evason; and the comradery of the group fostered by Sean Monahan, Johnny Gaudreau’s best friend, that came together rather than splintering apart.

PHILADELPHIA — That’s one for each game of the now deceased losing streak.
Why are all the spreadsheet folks, who have lectured all of us for years that teams cannot win the Stanley Cup if they are paying their No. 1 goaltender at least 10 percent of the cap, so silent now after the Panthers have gone back-to-back with Sergei Bobrovsky in the net?
Anthony Volpe struck out to lead off the bottom of the second inning Saturday, extending his hitless streak to 25 at-bats.
Surely it wasn’t selected to make a point or to lament what the NBA has become, but it was, nonetheless, a picture worth a thousand 3-point heaves.
It sounds like Aaron Rodgers has some thoughts on how the Jets went from building a potent 1-2 combination in the backfield to looking punchless on the ground.
The Rangers are holding on to Matthew Robertson.
Anthony Volpe entered Friday in the midst of a 0-for-20 slump, with Aaron Boone saying the shortstop’s swing has been “off.”
