"What's he talking about? I don't even see Carolina here. They should be right there but ... maybe its not in order? Nope, it is. Oh Jesus Christ."

The most common comment I've seen on the Red Wings' one is that it's a practice jersey. They have limitations of just two colors on their palette (gray? really?) and a historically simple uniform, but at least try.
Chicago Tribune wrote:Retired Chicago Blackhawks enforcer Daniel Carcillo says it took a mind-blowing drug to save his brain — and his life.
"It was the most amazing experience," Carcillo says on the latest edition of "Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel," set to debut at 9 p.m. CST Tuesday on HBO and HBO Max
Carcillo, who sued the NHL over his concussion-related injuries, is among the former athletes on the program extolling the benefits of psychedelic drugs in helping him cope with aftereffects of brain trauma.
The research in this area, correspondent David Scott notes, is "embryonic but intriguing."
"Real Sports" opens its segment with Carcillo in the Peruvian jungle, where under supervision he would receive a potent hallucinogenic cocktail brewed from ayahuasca, a drug that's illegal in much of the world...
..Carcillo contends the ayahuasca, which had him communing with his long-dead grandparents, was transformative in ways traditional medicine, therapy and psychotherapy have not been.
"I do not suffer from any of those symptoms any longer," he says.
His wife, Ela, backs up Carcillo, saying he's a changed man.
"It's amazing," says Rick Doblin, a researcher and advocate of the therapeutic use of psychedelic drugs. "But, yes, he has rewired his brain, and because there (are) new pathways he's built in his brain, it lasts."
Doblin concedes the hallucinogens are neither a cure-all nor risk-free, but he says "benefits are often substantial."
There are other voices in Scott's report, other anecdotes shared. No experts with conflicting views are heard, however.
"I'm just trying to look for more peace, more peace of mind, less suffering," Carcillo says.
Speaking of which, ESPN cancelled the ESPN on Ice podcast for this year. Can't imagine that it's all that expensive to produce a podcast. Sucks, as I really enjoyed this one.
Isaiah Meyer-Crothers said all he ever wanted was an apology from Miller. He noted that had Miller not bullied him and tricked him into licking candy that Miller and another teen had placed in a urinal, his former classmate would still be a NHL draft pick.

Also, the team chose Miller one month after Coyotes President and CEO Xavier Gutierrez was named to the NHL's Executive Inclusion Council, a group the league said will focus on combating racism and fostering diversity in the sport.

Joni Meyer-Crothers said she was sick to her stomach when she found out Miller was cut, but he still has not personally apologized to her son or family.
"It's a very sad situation all the way around," she said. "And now we are getting threats from hockey families in Sylvania."
A police report obtained by The Republic detailed incidents of bullying and harassment, and in an interview with The Republic, Meyer-Crothers relived the racist and physical abuse he suffered from Miller.
Miller was ordered by a judge to issue an apology to the family, which he did, but the family said it never received it.
Guess who the Boston Bruins signed.
At least the NHL stepped in and said he's not eligible to play in the NHL and multiple Bruins players, including Bergeron and Marchand, spoke out against the signing.

Fuck Miller, his fans and I hope Boston has to eat that cap space for 3 years. Not because its a huge amount, but because they should be reminded what they tried to sneak in.
