Oft-repeated and reworked to fit different contexts, it goes down as one of the great quotes in sports history. “Let that be a lesson to you all.

Vancouver Canucks forward J.T. Miller says sometimes the key to an effective power play is simple — just shoot. Miller knows better than most. He had two of Vancouver’s three power-play goals in the Canucks’ 5-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday. “It doesn’t always work how you plan it but we just
During training camp, it seemed uncertain whether Sonny Milano, 23, would make the Columbus Blue Jackets roster. He has spent time in the American Hockey League in each of his four professional seasons. He’s out of options. He would have to clear waivers to be sent down. But he won’t have trouble staying in the

J.T. Miller has a simple philosophy about playing with Elias Pettersson and Brock Boeser on the Vancouver Canucks’ top line. “They are so gifted with and without the puck, I just try to stay out of their way for the most part,” he said. Miller combines size and speed with good puck-handling skills. Entering his

But Eugene Melnyk insists his charity, The Organ Project, is still alive, and is refocusing its efforts for a relaunch next year. The Ottawa Senators owner launched The Organ Project in 2017, after undergoing a successful
Haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate. Especially if they think you’re a jinx, jinx, jinx, jinx, jinx. The Los Angeles Kings are covering a banner that has hung in the rafters of Staples Center since 2015, commemorating Taylor Swift’s record of sellout shows in the arena, because it happens to coincide with their recent
