There will be a new voice for the Devils. Steve Cangialosi is stepping down from his role as the team’s play-by-play voice on MSG Network broadcasts, a position he has held for the past 11 seasons. We wish Steve the best and thank him for his work during some truly lean years on the ice. [NHL]
I’m in the process of a much better goodbye than this: but the outpouring of well wishes from everyone tonight has been overwhelming and means so much. Thanks everyone.

A few notable nuggets in this story about the Arizona State University-Coyotes relationship going forward, but this is certainly something: “In-ice advertising will be a revenue source for Arizona State, and the Coyotes aren’t allowed to modify the look of the ice surface – including the Arizona State logo at center ice — on broadcasts to protect ASU’s permanent advertisers in the building.” [The Athletic ($)]
