Mats Zuccarello personifies what is so special about his sport. Tough & resilient, fun & personable. We shared a passion for English Premier League soccer (me Tottenham, him Man U). We traded barbs & a few bets. Today, we shared a hug & mutual thanks. Good person. Good luck.

Simply put, #7 is one of the great ambassadors our city & our sport will ever know. An omnipresent smile-with a kind word for everyone at every turn-Rod Gilbert loved the Rangers & New York as much as we loved him. Please honor Rod by emulating his goodness. Rest easy, my friend.

Speaking of dreaming: more than 40 years ago, I dreamed of a career in sports media. Moments like these are precisely why. I’ve watched many thousands of games & knowing that any given game can produce an otherworldly moment is why, at the risk of sounding trite, I love my “job.”

Good morning #NYR fans: at MSG this AM, where an impeccable source tells me Henrik Lundqvist is CATEGORICALLY, POSITIVELY NOT up for discussion in ANY trades. He is expected to start tonight vs DET. As Lundqvist said last week, he does NOT want a trade. And HE controls his fate.

In case you missed it: Jesper Fast, one of the most even-tempered interviews on the Rangers, called their first period “embarrassing” and bemoaned a “lack of battle battle” during his intermission interview w/ @MSGNetworks . Angry and accurate.

Maybe the 2nd-best team pic these #NYR could take, behind one around a Cup in mid-June. Happy 2015 from 40,000 feet. http://t.co/xgwU16xS3B

An honor to meet and speak with Rob O’Neill, the US Navy SEAL who served with great honor for 16 years, and who served ultimate justice to Bin Laden in May 2011. Thank you for your service, Rob, and your words of advice for my Army son, Justin. 🇺🇸

Five years ago tonight, I made the foolhardy decision to try the “Henrik Header” on a Marc Staal clearing pass. It was, for sure, a bloody-bad decision. ICYMI: the evidence here: And the photographic aftermath:

My favorite part of this amazing job, win or lose, is when the drama on the ice provides a peek into real human emotion. I’ll always be grateful that @HLundqvist30 so often takes us there. He sure did last night (early this AM back east). Watch and enjoy.

G Igor Shesterkin admitted not having to compete for #NYR roster spot this year is a plus. “My head is all in for the hard work and doing everything I can do to be the best.” Asked what he most learned last year, Shesterkin joked: “If you catch the puck, you stay on the team.”

Gerard Gallant opened #NYR training camp today with a press conference that featured several bullet point items. To wit: *EXPECTATIONS: “I expect a real good hockey team. An improved team. I expect the playoffs. It’s our goal….but talk is cheap. It’s about doing it.” (Cont’d)…

My old defense partner on the Bridgewater Whalers, circa a long time ago, and a magnificent advocate for the unrivaled theater that is Playoff Hockey. Bob’s passion for the sport is 100% genuine. Great announcer, better person, heck of a golfer, too. It’s not fair, really. 👍🏻

Calling Stanley Cup Playoff hockey for @espn is so much fun…I cant get enough of it! Thank you to ALL of you who have said such nice things about our calls…we have a great team! I know I rarely respond…but trust me, if you send it, I see it! And I really appreciate it!
