In this week's episode of The Hockey News On The 'E' Podcast with Justin A. Cohn and Jacob Stoller: - The Fort Wayne Komets faced a devastating end to their season last week in a Game 7 loss to the Cincinnati Cyclones. The final score was 1-0 Cincinnati, but the officials disallowed a potential equalizer with 71 seconds left in the game due to goaltender interference. The decision caught the attention of fans around the league. - Justin and Jacob discuss some ideas to improve officiating in the ECHL without finding different referees. Some topics included cracking down on embellishment and giving the linesmen the ability to call a penalty. - The Newfoundland Growlers are the team of the week. The ECHL affiliate of the Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Marlies currently leads the Reading Royals 2-0 in the North Division final. Growlers goalie Dryden McKay has been up to the task so far in Newfoundland's quest for the Kelly Cup. - Forward Trenton Bliss is on fire for the Toledo Walleye through six playoff games, with five goals and six assists. Our prospect of the week had a 30-game stint for the Grand Rapids Griffins, but he flourished for the Walleye this season with 40 points in 38 games. Learn more about your ad choices.

The first half the Evan, Kyle, and Ev chat about The Leafs not making the playoffs or possibly winning it all, some sneaky picks for to win the Cup, and finally the goalies they'd love to play in front of. Kyle also gives us some incredible insight on the game of football.  But the real reason you're here is to hear Brennan Poderzay break Box Control, RVH vs VH, his promises to take every goalie he works with to the NHL, and so much more! All kidding aside, Podz is an incredible coach and just a salt of the Earth guy. He coached Dryden Mckay at Mankato, who was outstanding every single season that Podz was there, but also went on to win the Hobey Baker Award last season. Most recently Podz is at the University of Minnesota. Last season he helped Justin Close get comfortable as the starting goalie for the power house team with very few NCAA GP's ever played. We're very excited to have Podz be a huge supporter of ours, but most importantyl we're fortunate to have him as a part of the family! New EP's every Wednesday!

Love that #jaelenphillips is mentoring incarcerated youth at the #browardcounty juvenile detention center. Their futures aren't defined yet.  He's working with the #verbkind a community outreach program headed by #haleyhunt which Philips wants to continue with the kids once they're released.  #joelembiid may not get MVP but could fuel a long playoff run.  But the Beard is going to have to step up.  @warriors starting their own entertainment division. Up 2-0 on @nuggets and @stephencurry30 had 34 off bench last night.  #jordanpoole had 29.  No @lukadoncic no problem.  FA to be #jalenbrunson had career high 41 to tie series with @utahjazz 1-1.  @lululemon made #jrsmith an ambassador.  He's playing #golf at @ncatsuaggies and wants to make the sport more accessible to underrepresented #minority players. Props to him.  @clevelandbrowns made #denzelward the highest paid #cornerback in the @nfl but as we all know, not for long.  #alexovechkin got his 48th goal last night for @capitals in win over @coloradoavalanche not bad for a 36 year old.  Freddie Freeman first HR as a Dodger in his first at bat vs his former team the Braves. Can't write a better script.

NFL – Browns speak to NFL on ‘tanking’ claims made by former coach The Cleveland Browns have spoken to an NFL investigator looking into claims by former coach Hue Jackson, who said the team intentionally lost games in 2016 and 2017.  Jackson, now coaching at Grambling State, indicated in a series of posts on social media that the Browns paid him bonuses incentivizing him to lose. Jackson later softened those claims. The Browns went 1-15 in 2016 and 0-16 in 2017 under Jackson.

The letter signed by Jordan W. Siev from the law firm Reed Smith denies the Commanders at any point withheld ticket revenue from visiting teams and the league or kept fans from getting refundable ticket deposits back. The letter also takes aim at the motives of former VP of sales and customer service Jason Friedman, whose testimony against the team framed the committee’s recommendation.

MLB – Major League Baseball Yesterday Chicago Cubs 4, Tampa Bay Rays 2 Chicago White Sox at Cleveland Guardians, PPD Tigers were off Cubs 4, Rays 2 – Suzuki extends hitting streak to 9, Cubs beat cold Rays 4-2 Seiya Suzuki extended his hitting streak to nine games, tying Akinori Iwamura for the longest by a Japanese-born player at the start of a major league career, and the Chicago Cubs beat the Tampa Bay Rays 4-2 on a cold night. Suzuki singled to left leading off the fourth inning, matching the mark that Iwamura set with the Rays in 2007 and tying Andy Pafko's record for a Cubs player at the start of his career, set in 1943. Suzuki was thrown out by left fielder Randy Arozarena trying to stretch his hit to a double. White Sox at Guardians, PPD – White Sox-Guardians postponed by inclement weather The game between the Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Guardians scheduled for Monday night was called about five hours before the scheduled 6:10 p.m. first pitch after rain and snow showers fell most of the day and temps dropped into the 30s.

Arrieta made the announcement during a Barstool Sports podcast. The 36-year-old Arrieta went 5-14 with a 7.39 ERA in 24 starts for the Cubs and San Diego Padres last season. He finishes his career with a 115-93 record and 3.98 ERA in 285 games, including 279 starts, over 12 years in the majors. Arrieta won the NL Cy Young Award with Chicago in 2015 and helped the Cubs win the 2016 World Series for their first championship since 1908.

The Red Wings say his recovery is expected to last eight to 10 weeks. The 25-year-old Larkin leads the Red Wings with 31 goals and 69 points in 71 games. Detroit has not earned a spot in the playoffs since 2016 when Larkin was a rookie and its run of 25 straight postseasons ended. Larkin has 358 career points over seven seasons with the Red Wings. Detroit drafted him No. 15 overall in 2014 draft. NFL – Browns speak to NFL on ‘tanking’ claims made by former coach The Cleveland Browns have spoken to an NFL investigator looking into claims by former coach Hue Jackson, who said the team intentionally lost games in 2016 and 2017.  Jackson, now coaching at Grambling State, indicated in a series of posts on social media that the Browns paid him bonuses incentivizing him to lose. Jackson later softened those claims. The Browns went 1-15 in 2016 and 0-16 in 2017 under Jackson. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy confirmed the league engaged former SEC chair Mary Jo White to look into Jackson’s allegations. The team said it welcomed the chance to address Jackson’s claims. NFL – Commanders send letter to FTC denying financial impropriety The NFL’s Washington Commanders denied several allegations of financial impropriety in a letter written to the Federal Trade Commission. The 105-page letter including testimony, emails and other documents comes as a response to the U.S. House Oversight and Reform Committee asking the FTC to look into the team’s business practices. The letter signed by Jordan W. Siev from the law firm Reed Smith denies the Commanders at any point withheld ticket revenue from visiting teams and the league or kept fans from getting refundable ticket deposits back. The letter also takes aim at the motives of former VP of sales and customer service Jason Friedman, whose testimony against the team framed the committee’s recommendation. Running – Olympic champ Jepchirchir wins 50th women’s Boston Marathon Reigning Olympic champion Peres Jepchirchir celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Boston Marathon women’s division by winning a see-saw sprint down Boylston Street.

More than 28,000 runners returned to the streets from Hopkinton to Copley Square six months after a smaller and socially distanced event that was the only fall race in its 126-year history.

Mike McKenna and Scott Burnside are back with another Wednesday edition of The Suitcase and The Scribe. We are now in crunch time in the NHL, with the playoff picture moulding closer to its final shape every day. The battle in the Eastern Conference is all but set; however, it's an entirely different story in the West. The LA Kings have dropped off recently, which has opened the door for the Vegas Golde Knights.  Mike and Scott predict how things finish up in the Pacific Division.  While the playoff race is over for many teams, one thing they need to address is the coaching. Who is out the door this offseason? Who comes in? Who stays? The guys took a look at the coaching landscape around the NHL. Finally, Owen Power, the first overall pick from the 2021 NHL Draft, made his NHL debut last night for the Buffalo Sabres in his hometown of Toronto. Mike McKenna spoke about Power's game and why he'll have success early with the Sabres.  That also led to the conversation about college signings and how ridiculous it is that Hobey Baker winner Dryden McKay is struggling to find a job.  You can hear all of that and more now on episode 30 of The Suitcase and The Scribe.
