One of the most incredible things about the NHL and hockey, in general, is the lengths to which some players will go to gain an edge for their team. In the case of the Detroit Red Wings forward Lucas Raymond, he seemed to be more than willing to bash himself in the face with a stick hard enough to draw blood and give his team a 4-minute power play.
Talk about a team guy, but unfortunately for him and the Red Wings, he got caught.
The Red Wings were in New York to take on the Rangers in a game that would’ve had a lot of Patrick Kane talk surrounding it.

Here’s who we’re picking in Week 13.
It’s lucky Week 13 in the NFL, and surely nothing will go wrong.
Not going to lie, this is a pretty weird slate of games as we hit the home stretch of the regular season and head to the playoffs. The best game of the week will happen in San Francisco on Sunday where the visiting Eagles seem destined to be giving us a preview of the NFC Championship game.
Meanwhile Monday Night Football, which hasn’t been flexed for some reason, is pegged to be a blowout with the ailing Bengals heading to Jacksonville to face the Jaguars.
A conversation with celebrity basketball trainer Lethal Shooter on how he teaches clients to knock down their shots.
Shooting is at once the most basic and complex component of basketball. You have a ball in your hands, you see a hoop above you, or in front of you, or very far away from you, and you throw the ball into the basket. But being good at that effort, with the machinelike regularity required to be able to do it for a living on the highest level, is a symphony of human engineering.
It doesn’t just take practice of body, but mind to be an elite shooter.
Heat rookie Jaime Jaquez Jr. has taken impressive strides throughout the early stages of his rookie season. He’s also fully embraced a nickname that appears to be gaining traction rapidly.
Juan Wick.
Jaquez admits he’d heard the nickname long before becoming the No. 18 pick in the first round of 2023 NBA draft and said he finds it “hilarious,” per Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
“I saw that when I was coming into the league,” Jaquez said with a smile. “I thought that was hilarious, honestly.
Indiana is expected to hire James Madison’s Curt Cignetti as its next head coach, sources told Sports Illustrated’s Pat Forde on Thursday.
Cignetti has served as James Madison’s head coach for the past five seasons, posting a combined 52-9 record, including three seasons with at least 11 wins. He was also previously the head coach at Division II Indiana U. (Pa.) for six years and FCS Elon University for two. He boasts a career record of 119-35 as a collegiate head coach. Cignetti has never suffered a losing season as a head coach.
The Broncos appeared to be headed for another lost season after a 1–5 start. But a five-game winning streak has revived their chances and put them in contention for an AFC wild-card playoff spot.
What fueled Denver’s turnaround? The defense has been strong, allowing fewer than 20 points in three of the past five games. Quarterback Russell Wilson is playing better, but hasn’t passed for 200 yards in four of his past five games. More importantly, he hasn’t thrown an interception during the Broncos’ winning streak.
J.J. Watt’s playing days may be behind him, but the retired defensive end apparently already has found a way to assert himself in the conversation with some of the biggest names in his new field.
Now a CBS analyst, Watt showed off his new reporting chops Thursday with a major scoop about former Cardinals teammate Zach Ertz, who’s been on injured reserve since Oct. 24 with a quad injury.
Oregon State quarterback DJ Uiagalelei has reportedly landed back in the transfer portal. The former five-star recruit has already transferred once in his college career, joining the Beavers in December of 2022 after three seasons with Clemson. Per the NCAA’s rules, as a graduate transfer, Uiagalelei would be immediately eligible to play at his next school.
Uiagalelei finished his sole season at Oregon State with an 8–4 record, throwing for 2,638 passing yards with 21 touchdowns against seven interceptions.
On3.com’s Pete Nakos first reported the news.
Kirk Herbstreit fired back at critics of his Thursday Night Football broadcast partner Al Michaels during an appearance on Barstool Sports’ Pardon My Take this week.
The 79-year-old broadcasting legend has come under fire for a perceived lack of excitement during his calls on Thursday games, with many fans calling for Michaels to retire over the boring broadcasts. But Herbstreit defended Michaels, saying the energy he brings to each game meets the moment based on the importance of the game.
Oregon State QB DJ Uiagalelei reportedly will hit the transfer portal and look for his third school in as many years.
Uiagalelei spent three seasons at Clemson, and never came close to achieving the success fans expected when he was signed as arguably the best player in America in the 2020 class.
Fans thought he could be a Ben Roethlisberger style quarterback with his huge body and arm. That never developed into reality, and he transferred to Oregon State. With the Beavers, Uiagalelei found some success in 2023, but he’s not sticking around.
