Islanders unhappy late goal was disallowed in shootout loss against Blue Jackets
Islanders forward Kyle Palmieri redirected a shot from Alexander Romanov past Blue Jackets goalie Elvis Merzlikins with about 9 seconds remaining. After officials waved it off for goaltender interference, the situation room in Toronto reviewed the play and confirmed the no-goal call on the ice.
'If Toronto is afraid to overturn calls made by their referee, we don't need Toronto,' Islanders coach Patrick Roy said. 'That's all I want to say.'
Shortly before the deflection, Palmieri skated in front of the the crease and Merzlikins came forward and bumped into him.
According to the league's explanation, 'Palmieri impaired Merzlikins' ability to play his position in the crease prior to the goal.'
Palmieri didn't like the call.
'He said there was contact initiated in the crease,' Palmieri said of a conversation with the referee. 'And I guess the goalie needs five minutes to get reset and ready for the shot, and it looked like he couldn't wait to wave it off.'
With one point earned for the shootout loss, the Islanders pulled into a tie with the New York Rangers, one point behind Montreal for the second wild card in the Eastern Conference. Columbus is another point back.

Big Ten's Petitti: No support for SEC's at-large bid preference for College Football Playoff
LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Big Ten commissioner doubled down on the league's preference for multiple automatic qualifiers in the next version of the College Football Playoff on Tuesday, increasing the likelihood of a showdown with the Southeastern Conference when the format for 2026 is decided. At the league's football media days, Tony Petitti said any change that adds at-large bids and increases the discretion and role of a selection committee — a format the SEC and others have shown a preference for — 'will have a difficult time getting support of the Big Ten.' Petitti also bolstered the idea of a weekend's worth of conference play-in games for some of the four automatic bids that would go to the Big Ten in its preferred version of a 16-team playoff, even though the games could put some of the Big Ten's top-seeded teams in jeopardy of being shut out of the CFP. The likely slate for that would include a league title game between Nos. 1 and 2 and play-in games involving the 3-6 seeds. 'There are 18 members in the Big Ten, you have 17 possible opponents and you play nine,' Petitti said. 'There's a lot of discrepancy. Let alone making comparisons across leagues, there's a lot of issues about how you compare teams inside the Big Ten. ... Where we came down is we were willing to take that risk.' Though there is a Dec. 1 deadline for expanding the playoff for 2026, Petitti said he wouldn't put any deadline on it, echoing a sentiment SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey voiced earlier this month when he said the 12-team format, which went into effect last season, could stay in place until the two leagues agree on something new. Petitti said recent meetings between Big Ten and SEC athletic directors have produced good results and he expects another such summit would do the same. 'The goal would be to bring people back together, have a conversation about what we think works, then kind of go from there,' he said. The Big Ten and SEC will ultimately decide the new format, with input from the Atlantic Coast and Big 12 conferences, along with Notre Dame and the six smaller conferences that are part of the system. ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips said his preference was a format with five automatic bids and the rest at-large. 'Fairness and access should also be part of the equation,' Phillips said Tuesday in Charlotte, North Carolina,, while backing the work of the selection committee that would have a bigger role with 11 at-large selections to sort through.

Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill vows to show 'the best version' of himself this season
Associated Press MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — All offseason, Tyreek Hill has heard the clip of himself frustratingly declaring 'I'm out' on the Miami Dolphins after last season's disappointing finish. The Dolphins star receiver doesn't feel that way anymore. He regrets making those comments. And he said among his goals this season is to reveal a version of himself — a more subdued, mature one — that he hasn't shown yet in his career. 'I literally heard that all offseason some kind of way on YouTube shorts because my kids stay on YouTube." Hill said Tuesday as Dolphins veterans reported to training camp. "And I'm like, 'I don't want to put that out there for my boys to see." Hill has made headlines — good and bad — throughout his career. Last season's outburst that included taking himself out in the second half of Miami's regular-season finale against the New York Jets was an example of antics the All-Pro receiver said can't continue to happen. He has since had talks with teammates and coach Mike McDaniel on how to be more of a leader moving forward, especially as he hopes to help the Dolphins deliver the playoff win that has eluded them for more than two decades. 'That's why this year, this whole entire offseason, I've been busting my tail,' Hill said. 'I told my dad, I said, 'I want to see what it looks like whenever I focus just on football, and I just focus on myself and family. Because I feel like I really haven't been giving the best version of me, of Tyreek, my whole entire career. ... I just want to see what that version of myself looks like. I'm looking forward to it.' Hill is coming off one of his worst seasons as a pro in 2024. He finished with 81 catches for 959 yards and six touchdowns — his fewest receptions and yards since an injury-filled 2019 season when he played for Kansas City, and a steep drop-off from his NFL-leading 2023 season in which he caught 119 passes for 1,799 yards and 13 touchdowns. He said he's finding motivation for the upcoming season in a few places, such as family. 'My kids are Justin Jefferson fanatics,' Hill quipped. 'They really enjoy Justin Jefferson a lot. I was talking to my son on FaceTime last night, and his mom told me 'One of the kids came up to him and was like, 'You're Tyreek Hill's son?'' And he was like, 'No, Justin Jefferson's my dad.'' 'We play jokes with each other,' Hill added, 'so I know it's in the spirit of just playing jokes and just having fun. That's what keeps me hungry, man. Just trying to continue to stay at the top, continuing to be a leader in my household for my kids.' Hill has spent the offseason recovering from the wrist injury that limited him in 2024 and becoming more lean. His offseason training also included winning a 100-meter race in 10.15 seconds last month in California — a sign that he still possesses all of his trademark speed as he enters his 10th NFL season. 'Today was our conditioning test," Hill said, "and at 31 years old, I must say, I haven't lost a step.' ___ AP NFL: recommended Item 1 of 3 in this topic
