. The 91-year-old was unsure if he would be making it to another game in the series, and did not miss out on the opportunity when it presented itself.
He got a ride to Toronto and then caught a flight to Edmonton.
Commenting on the same, Scotty said, 'He wanted me to watch one game.' He also added, 'You never know when you're going to be back at these situations. Travelling's not easy for anybody. It's even worse for guys like me.' While speaking of his presence at the game, Stan shared, 'It's really been a pleasure for me to have him here, just as a fan essentially. Like, he's the ultimate hockey fan.'

While addressing his father's love for the sport, Stan shared, 'He's watched more hockey than, I think, anybody in this world. He's 91, and he still watches every game every night during the regular season and playoffs, and he watched the Memorial Cup the other day. He just loves watching hockey, and I think when you watch that much hockey, you have observations about the game. He certainly has experience of being through so many of these types of situations.

He also added, 'So, I would say, it's not like he's sitting there giving me feedback on every game, but we talk about it, and I learn a lot just through those conversations. It's not so much specific advice. It's just a conversation, and then you reflect on what you talked about, and you realise, 'That's something maybe I can bring up when I talk to our coaches.' So, yeah, I think he's more of a fan right now than anything, but it's great to see him interacting with all the media, because I know he enjoys that at this stage of his life.

New York Rangers call David Quinn to rejoin the team but not as a head coach
It's not everyday that a team calls back former head coach after firing them, and its even rarer to see a team calling back a coach and offer them the role of an assistant coach. The New York Rangers called their former coach, David Quinn to join them, not as a head coach, but as an assistant to Mike Sullivan. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now While the designation of Quinn has been demoted, many expected him not to join the Rangers again. However, it seems Quinn is more than happy to be a part of the New York Rangers. Will this new position affect his performance? Or will he be able to guide the team under Sullivan's umbrella? David Quinn joins New York Rangers as an assistant coach David Quinn was head coach for the New York Rangers from 2018 to 2021, where he guided the team by making important decisions. However, when Chris Drury became the Rangers' General Manager, he fired Quinn from his role, which led to a sour departure on Quinn's side. After getting relieved from the Rangers, Quinn went on to coach the San Jose Sharks from 2022 to 2024, after which he was called back by the Rangers in 2025. But, what made Quinn take this decision/ his last interaction with the Rangers was not exactly roses, but his bond with Mike Sullivan helped the Rangers hire Quinn. Even though the role is smaller than before, it is surprising that Quinn agreed to it.

As per news, Joe Sacco and Ty Hennes will fill out the remaining roles. Though it is not made clear as to what designation Sacco and Hennes will get, it is sure that both will be joining the Rangers. The New York Rangers have failed to win the Stanley Cup since 1994. There have been various changes in coaching staff, players, and other tactics were applied, but all to vain. With Mike Sullivan taking on the role of the head coach, there's hope amongst fans that the Rangers will rise again. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Mike Sullivan guided the Pittsburgh Penguins and helped them win two Stanley Cups in 2016 and 2017. Besides, Sullivan had also coached Team USA at the 4-Nation's face off, which gives him an edge over other coaches. Another reason as to why Quinn willingly accepted the demoted role was because he had earlier worked with Sullivan in Pittsburgh and Team USA, both in an assistant role. Also Read:

Dana White's proxy Jon Anik drops bombshell on Jon Jones vs Tom Aspinall revealing potential date and venue for the heavyweight showdown

Photo via Getty Images The UFC 316 pre-fight press conference adds to the list of recent events that saw Dana White's absence, transferring the responsibility to lead commentator Jon Anik , who was seen fielding the questions between the media personnel and the fighters. The commentator faced an enraged audience, who wanted the heavyweight champion Jon Jones to be stripped off his belt. Amid the rising chants, Anik predicted the date and venue for the much-awaited heavyweight title unification bout between Jones and Tom Aspinall . Jon Jones might face Tom Aspinall in December at Las Vegas, fans speculate Dana White's absence from the presser The petition against Jon Jones to strip the fighter of his belt has reached the milestone of 200,000 signatures, which is quite a huge number. Reflecting on the figures, one of the reporters present at the UFC 316 pre-fight conference brought up the question to the lead commentator. While it feels like the UFC boss, Dana White, would have been a much better choice for the query, the lead commentator did not leave the fans disheartened and went on to predict the date and venue for the epic, highly anticipated bout between the fighters. 'So I think a fight between Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall is much bigger if they are both champions. I think and I am hopeful that they are gonna fight in December in Las Vegas. I have no inside information.' Anik commented on the issue while reflecting Jones' unbothered attitude about the UFC executives ripping him off the belt, 'But I don't know if Jon Jones really gives a rip if they strip him.' Meanwhile, the fans have reached the saturation level where they are least bothered about what the Bones think and simply wants a heavyweight showdown. Reacting to the statement, one of the users vouched for the loudness of the chants against Jones at the arena. The user wrote, 'The chant was much louder in the arena trust me' Another user wrote, 'No one cares if Jon cares, we care' 'Omg Jones doesn't care if they strip him?! Then strip him... ?'

'F**k the Jews': Dave Portnoy explodes on Kirk Minihane as Barstool spirals over ‘Jews joke' controversy
A heated clash erupted between Dave Portnoy and Kirk Minihane at Barstool Sports (Getty Images) Barstool Sports, long known for toeing the line between edgy and offensive, is now facing a public reckoning after a fiery clash between founder Dave Portnoy and Barstool personality Kirk Minihane. The two engaged in a profanity-laced shouting match over antisemitism, freedom of speech, and where the company draws the line on controversial humor. Dave Portnoy and Kirk Minihane clash in explosive Barstool debate over antisemitism and content boundaries The dispute was sparked by a scandal at a Portnoy-owned Philadelphia bar, where a bottle-service sign with the phrase "F--k the Jews" was spotted. After Temple University student Mo Khan initially took responsibility but later backtracked, Dave Portnoy attempted to address the issue by offering to fund an educational trip to Auschwitz. However, when Barstool contributor Beyond Average Mick mocked Portnoy by calling him 'Rabbi Dave,' tensions escalated rapidly. What followed was a volatile exchange on The Unnamed Show, where Minihane suggested inviting Mick on his podcast for an open discussion. Portnoy bristled at the idea, and things quickly spiraled out of control. "Shut the f--k up you bald f--k… you work for me, you little bitch," Portnoy shouted during the episode. Minihane replied defiantly, "For now." Portnoy hit back: "Quit, I'll save $500K." LIVE at 9am EST | 6/3/25 | The Dan Le Batard Show w/ Stugotz The altercation wasn't just about one joke—it exposed deep ideological rifts within Barstool about the kind of speech the company should promote. Minihane insisted he wanted dialogue, not division, claiming he merely sought 'a conversation' with someone Portnoy disagreed with. But Portnoy made it clear where he stood: 'If you're making Jew jokes right now—after Molotov cocktails were thrown at synagogues, or Jews were killed outside museums—you're an antisemitic piece of s--t.' Accountability versus censorship: The Barstool identity crisis In a follow-up video, Portnoy clarified he wasn't advocating for cancel culture or silencing anyone. 'This isn't about jokes in general,' he said. 'It's about the timing, the context, and intent.' Barstool has built its empire by testing limits, but this latest controversy shows those boundaries are now under serious scrutiny. As the company faces growing pressure to evolve with the times, internal fractures like this one highlight a larger identity crisis brewing behind the scenes. Also Read: Steelers risk betraying T.J.
