The Blackhawks will conclude their post-Olympics road trip on Tuesday night in Winnipeg when it takes on the Jets. These two teams met at the United Center in mid-January, with much of the focus that evening on former Hawks captain Jonathan Toews playing in his first game in Chicago as an opponent. The Hawks won that game 2-0 and much of what was discussed regarding Winnipeg in the preview for that game still holds true. The Jets are still 10 points behind a playoff spot and have just 23 ...

The Winnipeg Jets have been chasing the Anaheim Ducks & Seattle Kraken for the Western Conference’s final wildcard spot for quite a while now. Catching one of those franchises was the True Northers’ only hope to qualify for the playoffs, even though there was quite the gap they needed to overcome. But that has recently changed over the past couple weeks of NHL action, as the Ducks have gone on a 5 game winning streak ( 8-2-0 in past 10 ) to move up the Western Conference standings. As a r...

1995 Spring Training got underway with a 4-3 win over the Kansas City Royals, in 10 innings. But there was something different about this opener. Perhaps it was the fact it was a game played with scabs “replacement players,” on both sides. With a lockout in full force after a failed offseason of labor negotiations, […]
Today we look at the Cubs’ new left-handed reliever. Hoby Milner came to the Cubs as a free agent after spending a year as a Texas Ranger, where he had a little success, as he has had during a long career, previously with the Phillies, Rays, and Brewers. His ERA and peripherals weren’t so great, […]
