Quick refresher for those who aren’t aware. The last time the Rangers and Devils met, New York rookie Matt Rempe elbowed Devils defenseman Jonas Siegenthaler in the head.

On Tuesday, Paul Pierce appeared on FS1 where he casually belittled white female basketball players. With ease, he admitted he could not believe that Caitlin Clark recorded 41 points, 12 assists, and seven rebounds Monday night in a win against LSU.
He didn’t believe a “white girl in Iowa” could outplay actual black women.
