ESPN mistakenly uses picture of wrong player in Rondale Moore tribute ESPN mistakenly used a picture of Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Myles Price during a segment covering the death of Rondale Moore.

ESPN did the same thing on SportsCenter last night! awfulannouncing.com/espn/mistake...

"you missed an open net for a goal that could have won it and you were bodied off the puck in OT for the game-winning goal, so here's a plushie for your troubles"

Then those guys went back to Syracuse and took them to the Calder Cup finals. Probably enjoyed that time more than if they had made the playoffs and lost in the first round.

Speaking of the Bishop trade, I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for the 2017 Lightning, the black sheep of the family as the only Cooper team to miss the playoffs (by a point). That 20-6-4 run they put on to end the season with several Syracuse guys and w/o Stamkos was a lot of fun.

Still smh at fans of the country which throws arguably the three best players in the world over the boards gets to cry about the 3-on-3 OT format

the latter is kind of a tough pull given Canada throws the 3 best players in the world over the boards

Seen a lot of Jon Cooper-coached games in recent years where his team never touches the puck in OT, maybe this will be one more
