The Islanders and Rangers both announced the Carson Soucy trade has been finalized. The Islanders get the 31-year-old left-shot defenseman, while the Rangers acquired a 2026 third-round draft pick to kick off their retool. #NHL #Isles #NYR

The Rangers are retooling.

The analysis, roughly 14 hours later, was the same as it was in the immediate aftermath.

Mike Sullivan and Alexis Lafreniere and J.T. Miller and Vincent Trocheck all said the Rangers did enough things well to earn two points.

So, while the result–a 5-2 loss to...

College basketball’s ever-shifting tectonic plates force programs to evolve or face something akin to extinction. And so @StonyBrookMBB made what it believes are the necessary changes to stay relevant. The @newsday @newsdaysports story: www.newsday.com/sports/colle...

Only four players return from last year's 8-24 team, and Geno Ford revamped his coaching staff, too.

There was, as Mike Sullivan and J.T. Miller and Adam Fox readily acknowledged, disconnection in the centennial season-opener.

But, they stressed, it is not a cause for panic.

Because there are 81 games remaining in the nascent season. Time is not of...

My uncle sent photos from Milan, where evidently there is a restaurant named after me. Which brings up two thoughts: One, I do like eating food. I ain't going to lie. But, two, naming a restaurant after a guy with my culinary skills seems like an easily preventable mistake.
