    I asked Enes Kanter if he would recommend the #Knicks for Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving or any of big FAs this summer: "Of course. It’s a very good organization. Good people. … Amazing city. So I think that they have a really good chance to get good superstars.” #NBA #nyknicks

    I just spent some time talking with Mika Zibanejad & Henrik Lundqvist. Both hope to spend time with their close friend Mats Zuccarello in Dallas. Zibanejad talks to him every day. Lundqvist keeps in touch via text. #NYR #rangers #NHL

    Lou Lamoriello says there’s no damage to Johnny Boychuk’s eye, got him on the lid. His eye is closed after a plastic surgeon did the 90-stitch work. #Isles #Islanders #NHL

    Zucc left the locker room when he saw the media enter. Hayes said politely, “I’m not talking about the deadline.” #nyr #rangers #nhl

    Barry Trotz on his return to Washington Fri. night after winning Cup last season: "I'm going to have a lot of good emotions. The 4 years I spent there were tremendous. ... I think the first time we played them here, it sort of was closure. I'm an Islander." #Isles #Capitals #NHL

    Amed Rosario was happy with Brodie Van Wagenen’s comments about not wanting to make a trade that fills one hole and creates another. He’s looking forward to staying & playing with Cano. #mets

    Barry Trotz on the #Oilers' Connor McDavid coming in tomorrow night: "Maybe the most talented player in the league. He's really a pretty full package, the ability to skate, the 0-60 speed. But we've got one too. We've got the guy right there with him (Mathew Barzal)." #Isles #NHL

    Josh Bailey said Johnny Boychuk sent “a nice text to all of us” after the game: “I think he knew we were all worried about him.” Boychuk did come to the practice facility this morning. #Isles #NHL
