Columbus Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov requests trade, cites 'misunderstandings'
The agent for Chinakhov made a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, about the trade request on July 17.
'I had some misunderstandings with the coach during the season,' read the post quoting Chinakhov. 'Now I would be glad to have a trade. I would like to move to a different location. Will I return to Russia? As long as I can play in the NHL, I will keep developing here.'
Chinakhov, who was selected with the No. 21 overall selection in 2020, missed nearly half of last season with a back injury, an issue that also sidelined him for the final 17 games in the previous season.

Cowboys Twitter reacts to Guyton injury news roller coaster: 'And this is why we wait'
And with one tweet, an entire nation took a hugely deep sigh of relief. Tyler Guyton's season isn't over after all. Cowboys Nation was going through every level of grief as the left tackle position is the shakiest of all of the Money 5 roles (QB, LT, CB, WR, Edge) on the team's 2025 roster. With limited plug-and-play options that wouldn't disrupt other positions, and almost non-existent outside options, hearing that Guyton won't be out for the year and could potentially return by Week 1 was really the best fans could hope for. The best case scenario would've been no injury at all. Missing the next 4-6 weeks, for a player who needed every single practice rep he could get is an extremely major blow to the team's plans for this season. Dallas needed Guyton to work religiously next to Tyler Smith so the two's chemistry continued to meld. He needs experience after being benched twice last season. But Guyton was already showing signs of being a legitimate tackle while the backup situation was murky. So while it isn't all good, it's nowhere near all bad as he'll be available for much of the season. So naturally, Twitter was filled with great reactions once Archer's report began to circulate.

The Thrill and Agony: UFC on ABC 9 winner and loser reactions
A post shared by Mohammad Yahya محمد يحيى (@yahyamma) Since the early days when the sport was anything but a mainstream endeavor, the MMA industry has thrived and survived through various websites, forums, and – perhaps most importantly – social-media platforms.

Following Saturday's UFC on ABC 9 in Abu Dhabi, several of the winning and losing fighters, along with their coaches, training partners or family members, took to social media to react to the event or share a message with supporters.

Edina's two-sport star Mason West has chosen his future: hockey
An NHL Draft first-rounder at 17 years old. "It was a kind of a blackout situation for me," said Mason West. "I don't really know. It was a surreal moment." West is from Edina, Minnesota, but he says going 29th overall in June to the Chicago Blackhawks was a full-circle scenario. "My dad is from Chicago," said West. "He brought the Blackhawks era into our household along with the Bulls and Cubs. It's kinda cool. I have family down in Chicago. So it's all kinda worked out." Last season on the ice was another good one for West and the Hornets. But they came up short, falling in the state semifinals. "It was tough because I want to win," West said. "So if we don't win the state championship, I don't look at it as a failure, but I look at it as something that they can do next year." West won't play high school hockey as a senior; instead, he'll head to juniors in Fargo. But he's not quite done. West is running it back for one more season as the quarterback of the football team, because, unlike in hockey, he still hasn't won a title in that sport. "Done that in hockey but not in football," said West. "So I want to achieve my goals and stay loyal to my teammates. I think they really need me in order to win. So I'll be there for them." West could have played Division I football. He chose hockey and college at Michigan State. He decided between the two just last fall. "After the Fargo season ended, obviously, that experience and that game style. I just really thought I could make an impact at the next upcoming levels," said West. "I think I develop fast and work really hard. So, right as I knew I could keep developing in that time span, I just decided to pursue hockey. It's what I love to do."
