What he says in a press conference is completely irrelevant. Did you not see him laying into the ref after that play? Rivera certainly cares and does what he can. And frankly, that play wasn't a big deal. Clearly hit him just as he went into the slide, not after he had already slid. Defender couldn't do anything to avoid that at all. It could've been called as it sometimes is in this league but most of the time it isn't. Not a big deal on that one.

Either he goes to bat for Cam in the post game presser and takes whatever punishment is levied against him, or he continues to be apathetic and say it isn't his place to question officials.

Rivera will either forever have or forever lose my respect on this night.

Same officiating crew that Cam spoke on after the AZ game...

I agree about Rivera. He's playing the politics during pressers, and it's probably smart. (Although it doesn't seem to be doing any good)

As far as the hit? Players almost give themselves concussions trying to get out of the way when other QBs slide. So..

      I am curious to see if Warren is the elite player that the Huddle Warren stans believe. I am always fairly wary of these first round TE's.

      The Rossi things isn't going away, either... https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/3312416/unfinished-business-7-players-to-watch-in-back-half-of-nhl-offseason The Wild and Rossi shouldn't be having any trouble hammering out an extension. Rossi, an RFA turning 24 in September, recorded the second-most points on the team last season (60 in 82 games). The smart, skilled, highly competitive 5-foot-9 Austrian is a homegrown top-six center. Minnesota has $10 million in cap space and no other significant spots to fill to finalize its 2025-26 roster. Problems lurk below the surface, however. Coach John Hynes demoted Rossi to the fourth line in the playoffs, dropping his nightly usage from 18 minutes in the regular season to 11 in the first-round series loss to Vegas. GM Bill Guerin's top to-do list item at the moment is to lock up Kirill Kaprizov. The superstar winger, who's been eligible for an extension since July 1, is due for Leon Draisaitl-type money (around $14 million average annual value) starting in 2026-27. Guerin has said there's no rush to sign, trade, or match an offer sheet for Rossi. If he stays, a short-term extension makes sense, since it gives both player and team flexibility. If he leaves, a trade is far more likely than an offer sheet. Half of the league could use a second-line center, and Rossi still has upside. The Hurricanes desperately need to upgrade at 2C (Jesperi Kotkaniemi isn't going to cut it) and have plenty of cap space. Ditto for the Sabres, who picked Jack Quinn one spot before Rossi went to the Wild in the 2020 draft. Mammoth bench boss Andre Tourigny coached Rossi in junior, and they don't have as much wiggle room, but trading top-six winger Nick Schmaltz (plus a pick) could make the math work. Guerin wants to make a so-called "hockey trade" here.
