The Jays signed Eric Lauer as a minor league free agent on December 20th of last year. It was such a momentous signing that we didn’t even have a post about it. He spent a month with the Bisons (5 starts, 4.50 ERA) and then, April 30th, the Jays called him up. He had been […]

The Montreal Canadiens are looking for centers and scoring. Those are two things that aren't easy to find in the NHL, especially earlier in the season when teams don't necessarily want to trade away pieces like that before more teams get desperate and have bidding wars near the trade deadline. But this may be a unique season where the top of the 2026 draft looks to be so good that teams that are going to be out of the playoff race give up early and sell. The Canadiens are looking to get back t...

The impression was likely made at the turn of this century, and has persisted despite fading relevance for going on a decade. Now an intimation of those better times may be at hand. We know that the number of games a team wins at the outset of a season isn’t particularly noteworthy – it’s more […]

For the entirety of his OHL career, Philadelphia Flyers prospect Jett Luchanko has played on a team that did not surround him with the requisite talent to compete at a high level. This week that changed. Luchanko has started off strong overall back in the Canadian junior ranks, with 17 points in his first 11 games. However, he’s only scored twice, and his now former team the Guelph Storm still sit seventh in the OHL’s Western Conference. It was shaping up to be another fruitless year for ...

The Seattle Kraken top-six forward search is quietly becoming one of the more interesting storylines in the league. Sitting firmly in the Pacific Division playoff mix, Seattle knows its structure and goaltending can hang with anyone, but the offense still trails near the bottom of the NHL. That is why, as David Pagnotta of the Fourth Period has reported, management is scouring the market for an impact scoring winger who can slide into the first line or at least solidify the top six. ...

The Cleveland Browns are looking forward in a positive way at the start of the Thanksgiving week.

This has come up a few times in the comments and on social media, so I think it’s worth addressing here for a moment. The thought that the Blackhawks “need to shoot the puck more” is lovely on the surface, and can be an appropriate discussion point at times. After the Colorado game? Sorry, that ain’t it. Yes, the Blackhawks were overwhelmed in the second period. In case you missed it, the Avs have one regulation loss this season — and we’re into the final week of November! They’re really ...

Jefferson finished with 17 points and […]

The Los Angeles Rams (9-2) open Week 13 as -10.5 favorites on FanDuel over the Carolina Panthers (6-6) in Week 13 of the NFL season, and for the uninitiated, 10+ points spreads in the NFL are rare, and typically hard to cover. However, given that the Rams just smoked the Tampa Bay Buccaneers by double […]

The Edmonton Oilers have five players who are out of the lineup and injured right now, but they are starting to get healthier with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Kasperi Kapanen both skating at practice. There is still Curtis Lazar and Noah Philp out of the lineup, but once healthy, the Oilers don't have enough space to hold everyone. The team already lost Troy Stecher on waivers to the Toronto Maple Leafs, and one of their forwards could be next, via trade. Frank Seravalli said, "I'd be curious to s...

The Detroit Lions did everything in their control to help their playoff chances in 2025, but the rest of the NFC did not comply. Despite moving to 7-4 on the season, the Lions remain on the outside looking in for the NFC playoff picture, and their odds actually slightly decreased to make the postseason after […]
