Happy belated Valentine’s Day to those who celebrate, observe, or completely blow it off.
It’s a time to celebrate love, which is rather fitting because I like to think that the NHL Weekly Awards are all about a love for the game of hockey.
We’ve got some great stuff this week including some sweet, sweet lamp-lightings.
Let’s start with one of those, and in honor of Valentine’s Day we’ll take a look at some Xs and Os.

It all started when one player posted a Valentine’s Day meme.
Former NFL star Shannon Sharpe declared a winner for the online feud between Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster and Eagles wideout AJ Brown while on FS1’s Undisputed on Wednesday morning. From his reasoning, it doesn’t sound like what was said mattered at all—but what actually happened on the field. 
“To the victor goes the spoils. JuJu,” Sharpe said when asked who won the Twitter feud.

New York’s rotation may be shorthanded for the season.
The Yankees were dealt a brutal injury blow on Wednesday when manager Aaron Boone revealed that starting pitcher Frankie Montas is set to undergo shoulder surgery, according to ESPN. 
The procedure and subsequent recovery is expected to keep the Yankees’ 2022 trade deadline acquisition sidelined for most of the season. Boone told reporters Wednesday that Montas will have the surgery on Feb. 21, and his return date is unclear.

The Buckeyes will pay the Huskies a $500,000 cancellation fee.
Ohio State has canceled a future home-and-home football series with Washington, it announced Wednesday afternoon.
The Buckeyes were slated to play the Huskies on Sept. 14, 2024, in Seattle and Sept. 13, 2025, in Columbus. Both teams finished in the AP top 10 following the 2022 season: Ohio State came in at No. 4 after losing to Georgia in the Peach Bowl, and Washington ranked No. 8 after topping Texas in the Alamo Bowl. 
The series would’ve marked the 13th and 14th matchups between the two teams.

No, Aaron Judge is not going to be the New York Yankees first baseman this year.
The $360 million dollar outfielder and newly named Yankees captain sent fans into a frenzy after partaking in ground balls and practicing at first base.
The media and beat reporters as always, ran with it creating absolute hysteria and narratives like they normally do.
But it was all for nothing. It was all a ruse. Once again the media fell for a phenomenal troll job by Judge.

The biggest party in sports hit Kansas City.
Hundreds of thousands of fans lined the streets of Kansas City on Wednesday to welcome home the Chiefs and celebrate their amazing win in Super Bowl LVII.
Early estimates placed the crowd at 800,000 – 1 million. Early hopes for warm weather were quickly dashed by a cold front, but the cool and cloudy day wasn’t enough to keep fans away. Prime spots to see the Chiefs went quickly, with fans claiming their places along the parade route before the sun came up.

The Buffalo safety shared his thoughts on the comments regarding his attire.
Bills safety Damar Hamlin responded to recent comments made by Adrian Peterson regarding a controversial jacket he wore during Super Bowl LVII on Sunday.
The veteran running back was offended by Hamlin’s more than $3,100-plus jacket, one that included an abstract illustration of Jesus’s face, with the word “Eternal” and a crucifix embellished on the back. Peterson, a devout Christian, said Hamlin’s jacket was “blasphemy” and “disrespectful” in an Instagram post.
