After losing 4-2 to the Penguins on Saturday night, the Philadelphia Flyers find themselves with the second of four proverbial kicks at the can to eliminate their longtime rivals in Game 5 on Monday night and move on to the second round. The fourth game is often the hardest won to win, but with the Flyers looking far more themselves in the second half of the game compared to the first half, they should start Game 5 on the right foot. However, following Sunday’s practice , there seems like ther...
After backing up the money truck for Justin Jefferson a couple of seasons ago, the Minnesota Vikings appear to have, potentially, started the process for doing the same for another star receiver on Monday morning. To the surprise of nobody, the Vikings announced that they have officially picked up the fifth-year option on the rookie […]
Good Monday morning Caps fans, hope you all had an enjoyable weekend and that you are gearing up for a good week ahead. Vancouver wrapped up their lengthy homestand in style on Saturday, dispatching the Colorado Rapids 3-1.

It is amazing how Vancouver continues to win games, frequently by multiple goals, and yet still leaves you feeling as if it left something on the table. Despite a generally strong team performance, the 3-1 win over the Colorado Rapids continued that trend. The ‘Caps took it to a chaotic, energetic Rapids side and were good value for the win, even though the final score …

When the Philadelphia Flyers put up a lackluster effort in their Game 4 loss on Saturday night, lineup changes were to be expected. So when Rick Tocchet showcased a new group of forwards and defensemen at practice on Sunday, that wasn’t much of a surprise.
However, some were caught off guard by Matvei Michkov being the odd man out of the lineup, with fellow youngster Alex Bump replacing him on the third line.
Of course, as we saw all season long, whenever the discourse about Michkov ...

Mats Zuccarello’s injury has quietly become one of the biggest reasons the Minnesota Wild’s first-round series has swung in the Dallas Stars’ favor. The Wild looked sharp in Game 1, but once Zuccarello exited the lineup, their power play lost its most important connector, and the offense became far...
Red Wings boss Steve Yzerman made it pretty clear at the season-ending press conference: The team needs a significant change to get to the next level. In fact, he said, frankly, "We need better players." And if the offseason target is new, "better" players, then some current Wings will undoubtedly have to be moved out of Motown. Max Bultman of The Athletic names no less than seven Detroit players who may have played their last game with the team. We'll go through his list, from most like...

Murat Ates shared his insight on the Jets in this chat with Hustler.
Game 4 is always an intense one when you’ve got a 2-1 series on your hands. The Edmonton Oilers would either end up back in a tied situation with two of the next three games at home, or they’d have their backs against the wall with basically every stat stacked up against them. If ever…

If the Pittsburgh Penguins are going to complete a stunning comeback in their first-round playoff series against the Philadelphia Flyers, they are going to need to clean up a lot of things over the next three games.

The Hawks may be done but some of their prospects are not!
Back in the summer of 2024, former New Jersey Devils general manager Tom Fitzgerald declared that he wanted to go “Big game hunting” for a premium goalie after the 2023-24 season was sunk, in large part, due to shockingly bad goaltending. Sure enough, on June 19, 2024, Fitzgerald got his man in the form of […]

Anthony Joshua might fight Tyson Fury this year, but it won’t be next. The 36-year-old Joshua (29-4, 26 KO) will return to the ring on July 25 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, facing Albanian-American club fighter Kristian Prenga. The idea is clearly for Joshua to shake any rust he may feel in what should frankly be […]
The Winnipeg Jets finished the 2025-26 season without a playoff appearance, one year removed from winning the Presidents' Trophy.
The questions that follow are not small ones.
The Athletic's Murat Ates wrote at length this week about the Jets' precarious position in what he called the "mushy middle" of the NHL, a place defined by being too good to tank and too flawed to really contend.
The core is aging. Their asset pool is depleted after years of trading draft picks for veterans who oft...
