Former Stars Goaltender Retires from Hockey
Though he had not played in the NHL since the 2022-23 season, Khudobin did play in the VHL and KHL in Russia in the 2023-24 season and did not play this past season. However, before that Khudobin made his NHL debut in the 2009-10 season with the Minnesota Wild and would go on to play for the Boston Bruins, Carolina Hurricanes, Anaheim Ducks, before landing with the Stars in the 2018-19 season.
In Khudobin's NHL career, he played 260 games tallying 114 wins and 11 shut outs. He recorded a 2.52 goals-against average and a .916% save percentage. During his 14 year career, Khudobin only made the playoffs three times, the first two times, with the Bruins and the Stars, he only played in one game. However, in 2020, during the bubble, Khudobin played in 25 games due to injury to Ben Bishop. Of the 24 games he started, he went 14-10. The Stars dream ended when they fell to the Tampa Bay Lightning in six games in the Cup Final.
Khudobin was the clear backup until Bishop's injury which left Khudobin with the opportunity for a bigger role in the 2020-21 season, where he played 32 games. However, that would be cut short the next season when he needed season-ending hip surgery. Upon his return back to hockey, he did not seem to get back to his old form and therefore, bounced between Dallas and the Texas Stars before getting traded to the Chicago Blackhawks, where he only played one game for them.
While Khudobin has not played for the Stars recently, Stars fans have not forgotten Khudobin's Stanley Cup run performance and his "We are not going home!" moment.

Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter Call Out Aaron Boone, Yankees After Loss to Marlins
Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter Call Out Aaron Boone, Yankees After Loss to Marlins originally appeared on Athlon Sports. There isn't a team under more pressure and a bigger microscope than the New York Yankees. While they hold a competitive 60-51 record, they're currently playing some of the sloppiest baseball of the season — and it's costing them. Just a few weeks ago, New York sat atop the AL East. But entering Sunday, after back-to-back losses to the Miami Marlins, they've slipped to third place behind the Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox, trailing Toronto by 4 1/2 games. On Friday, the Yankees blew a 6-0 lead and lost 13-12, with three of their newly acquired trade deadline relievers giving up multiple earned runs. Then on Saturday, they were held scoreless in a 2-0 loss, highlighted by a costly baserunning blunder when Jazz Chisholm Jr. was doubled off at first base on an infield popup — a play that drew instant backlash from fans calling for manager Aaron Boone to bench him. Boone defended Chisholm postgame, but the scrutiny only intensified later that night when former Yankees legends Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter echoed the same frustrations during the "MLB on Fox" broadcast, criticizing the team's lack of accountability and overall sluggish play. 'You can't make this up,' Rodriguez said. 'I mean, look, you can bring in nine relievers, it's not going to make a difference. I don't care if you bring back their '98 bullpen with Mariano [Rivera], Mike Stanton, and Jeff Nelson, if your pitchers are going 3 1/3, 4 1/3 innings it's not going to work.' 'Where's the accountability?' Rodriguez added. 'If any one of us made a mistake, we would be sitting out right on the bench. I see mistake after mistake and there are no consequences.' Jeter echoed Rodriguez's honest, yet truthful comments about the 27-time World Series champions. 'They make way too many mistakes,' Jeter said. 'And you can't get away with making that number of mistakes against great teams. It just doesn't happen. They had baserunning mistakes today — you saw the guy getting thrown out at home plate. You can't continue to do it. You have to clean it up.' 'There are no excuses. You have to play better,' Jeter continued. 'If you don't play better, you're not going to go very far.'This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Aug 3, 2025, where it first appeared.

Jets rookie TE Mason Taylor sidelined by high-ankle sprain
Jets second-round pick Mason Taylor won't be making his preseason debut this week. Taylor has been out of practice the last couple of days and head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters at a Tuesday press conference that the rookie is dealing with a high-ankle sprain. Glenn said that Taylor is out for at least a week as a result of the injury. Glenn also said that defensive tackle Byron Cowart has an ankle injury. Cowart was carted off at Tuesday's practice and edge rusher Will McDonald left the session with back spasms. Backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor has missed practice with a knee injury, but Glenn said that the team does not believe that it is a serious issue.
