This is what “Lane Kiffin Mad” looks like

Following Saturday’s three-point win over Washington State, a game in which unpleasantness abounded, Lane Kiffin’s disposition was the opposite of his familiar “You Got This, Have a Great Tuesday” Instagram vibe.

We’re just two games into the 2025-26 NHL Regular Season, but I haven’t seen anything from Axel Sandin-Pellikka, Emmitt Finnie, or Michael Brandsegg-Nygard that I can complain about.
