Datsyuk on Blast
The Hockey Hall of Fame is facing criticism from the Ukrainian Canadian Congress (UCC), which is calling for Pavel Datsyuk's disqualification from the Hall due to his alleged attendance at a tournament dedicated to individuals killed in Russia's war against Ukraine. Despite the controversy, the Hall of Fame maintains that nationality and country of origin do not influence decisions, so Datsyuk's induction remains on track. This topic will stay in the headlines as the Hall of Fame process continues.
Lyon on the Mic

Prospect Swap
The Pittsburgh Penguins and Winnipeg Jets pulled off a one-for-one trade involving prospects Brayden Yager and Rutger McGroarty. McGroarty, who had no intention of signing with Winnipeg, heads to Pittsburgh, while Winnipeg gets a younger prospect who seems more willing to play for them. McGroarty signed his entry-level contract, meaning he's leaving the University of Michigan and won't return for another year.
NHL 25 Cover
The Hughes brothers are featured on the cover of EA Sports' NHL 25. While it's a milestone for the talented hockey family, some fans, like myself, have opted out of purchasing the game, sticking with alternatives like GamePass. Despite this, excitement remains high for those who follow the series.
