Not being re-upped at ESPN was devastating. I was there 6 years. I promised myself I wouldn't allow them to determine when I was done writing. Along came The Athletic and here I am as of today 6 years later. I appreciate all the subscribers who allowed that to happen. Thank you

You come to expect people like Provorov in hockey. It's the lack of accountability that's so frustrating and disappointing. Tortorella respects Provorov being true to himself? Really? That's what you're going to say in that moment? It's all just so ridiculous and sad.
