Colorado Rockies center fielder Brenton Doyle left today’s game against the Texas Rangers after making a spectacular diving attempt on a ball in the first inning, but he landed awkwardly on his left arm. He got up slowly and remained in the game to finish the inning but did not return in the bottom half. […]
The Philadelphia Flyers don’t have to do a ton this offseason. Their moves last summer to add Trevor Zegras, Christian Dvorak, and Dan Vladar worked out well, helping the team make the playoffs for the first time since 2020. The roster is now more or less set, and although changes can always happen, you can look at the players the Flyers have under contract for next season and be happy enough to run it back for the most part. Adding another top-six center would be nice, as would a de...
The lawsuit that Minnesota Vikings’ defensive coordinator Brian Flores has lodged against the National Football League about its hiring practice is still ongoing, and after a move that Flores made on Tuesday, the suit now involves nearly every team in the league. According to Front Office Sports, Flores has subpoenaed 25 NFL teams for information […]
Well, there will be no arbitration hearings this summer for the Tampa Bay Lightning (unless, of course, Julien BriseBois pulls off some sort of trade). The Bolts headed into the off-season with one restricted free agent that had arbitration rights, and on Tuesday, they agreed to a contract with that player. Max Groshev is now under contract for another two seasons as he agrees to a two-year, two-way deal with the Lightning. Groshev was selected in the third round of the 2020 draft and has...
Another NHL team is on a hunt for a new head coach after the Vancouver Canucks announced that Adam Foote has been fired. Assistant coaches Kevin Dean, Scott Young, and Brett McLean will also not return for the 2026-27 season. General Manager Ryan Johnson announced today that Head Coach Adam Foote and Assistant Coaches Scott…

After Tuesday’s practice, Toronto Marlies head coach John Gruden discussed splitting the two road games in Cleveland, areas for improvement for Game 3, Ben Danford’s first two playoff appearances, and the team’s strength in net. Over the first two games of the series, it seemed like there were maybe 25 minutes of playing the way […] The post John Gruden on Ben Danford’s two playoff appearances for the Marlies: “He is not afraid of the moment” appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
One area that the Edmonton Oilers have improved in the past few years is their prospect pool. They’ve signed quite a few players from the NCAA and Europe, but one of the most notable moves to bolster their prospect pool came last off-season when they traded Sam O’Reilly for Isaac Howard. During the 2024 draft,…
The Tennessee Titans unveiled their complete 2026 regular season schedule last week. Littered with storylines, starting with Robert Saleh and the New York Jets in Week 1, our eyes immediately diverted to the final home game. Whatever it is, it’s going to be the last game at the current iteration of Nissan Stadium. The NFL […]
Texas Rangers lineup for May 19, 2026, against the Colorado Rockies: starting pitchers are Tyler Alexander for the Rangers and Sammy Peralta for the Rockies. The Rangers and the Rockies face off again, with each team using a lefthanded opener to start things off. Kumar Rocker is the scheduled starter for Texas, but given his […]
Lots of good stuff in this chat as he reflects on giving back to the community in Manitoba.
The Winnipeg Jets need to improve this offseason significantly, particularly if they're going to keep all-world goaltender Connor Hellebuyck happy. After the season, he called the team's performance this year "unacceptable" and he's now become a trade target for some hopeful teams this summer. One of the Jets' most urgent needs is a top-six scorer, and to that end, Murat Ates of The Athletic says that a controversial, yet legal, route might be their best option. We’ve s...
For 11 years, Minnesota Wild fans have watched their team exit the first round in what seems like every possible way. But then on a Thursday in April, in Game 6 against Dallas, the drought was over. The curse was broken. All it took was a blockbuster December trade, a couple of Kirill Kaprizov recor...
Something must be done to shake off the bad aura around the Reign.
Stan Bowman is throwing rocks up to hit Bruce Cassidy’s bedroom window, but Bruce just shakes his head, grounded, unable to talk. Cassidy can wipe his tears with $100 bills, a well-paid hostage for a year if Bill Foley deems it the case. And this is a big problem for the Edmonton Oilers. Cassidy is…
The Conference Finals are now set in the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Canadiens beat the Sabres in a thrilling Game 7 on Monday night in Buffalo to join the Carolina Hurricanes in the Eastern Conference Final, meanwhile, over in the Western Conference Final, it’ll be the Presidents’ Trophy-winning Colorado Avalanche facing off against the Vegas Golden Knights. Every team takes a different path to contention and pivots at key points to remain there. The Philadelphia Flyers arrived i...
The Jamal Crawford dream is alive and well for Kentucky Basketball. Back in April, it was reported that Mark Pope was pushing to add Crawford to the UK coaching staff. Some viewed it as a desperation play to help land Tyran Stokes, who played at Rainer Beach High School, where Crawford is currently an assistant […]
One day Seattle will score again, Friday was not that day.
The National Hockey League’s Coaches Association has released a statement in defence of Bruce Cassidy, calling the Vegas Golden Knights’ potentially denying him speaking to other NHL teams “unprecedented.” The statement comes a week after news broke that the Oilers had been trying to receive permission to speak with Cassidy and that the Golden Knights…
The Texas Rangers have activated pitcher Chris Martin from the injured list, the team announced today. To make room for Martin on the active roster, the Rangers have optioned pitcher Gavin Collyer to AAA Round Rock. Martin landed on the injured list in mid-April after allowing 6 runs in 6.1 innings over 8 appearances in […]
For the first time since joining the B1G Oregon will play all 3 former PAC-12 teams in B1G regular season play. They also will play the two traditional stalwarts of the B1G in Michigan and Ohio State. Needless to say there are a lot of big games on the schedule this year. As a fan […]
Brian Flores brings his Vikings defense to face the inexperienced Malik Willis in Week 4. The former Miami Dolphins HC has plenty of motivation to make it ugly.
The Minnesota Wild , under head coach John Hynes, made it to the second round of the 2026 Stanley Cup playoffs. He dragged a team that general manager Bill Guerin constructed. Guerin traded for defenseman Quinn Hughes , but he wasn't the final puzzle piece to lead the Wild to a Stanley Cup. The Wild are a team built with plenty of skill and size, but their 3.27 goals for per 60 were unable to defeat a Colorado Avalanche team that's played consistent hockey with (3.63 gf/60) ...
Jake Middleton isn't a household name; in fact, his name nearly went unannounced during the 2014 NHL draft. If he were an NFL football player, he would have been "Mr. Irrelevant", which is given to those who are selected with the last pick in a given draft. But Middleton’s career has shaped up to be...
As poorly as the 2025-26 season has gone for Liverpool, it’s gone quite a bit worse for West Ham. London’s Hammers appear a near-lock for relegation, as they would both need to beat Leeds on the final day and for Spurs to earn no points from their final two matches against Chelsea and Everton. If, […]
