According to TSN's Chris Johnston , the Toronto Maple Leafs roster could look very different next season. Johnston reports that the Maple Leafs are talking to other teams regarding trades and have made it clear to opposing teams, they're open to just about anything, just don't ask about captain Auston Matthews. “One of the things I’ve been told by other teams with the Leafs, is that the message that’s come out from their front office is that they’re willing to discuss any players on thei...
Marc-Andre ter Stegen has been left out of Germany’s squad for World Cup 2026 which has been announced by manager Julian Nagelsmann.

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…
On May 10th in 1970, Bobby Orr scored the overtime marker in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals giving the Boston Bruins a 4-3 win and their first Stanley Cup in 29 years, sweeping Scotty Bowman's St. Louis Blues.

On May 10th in 2009, Carolina Hurricanes forward Scott Walker sucker-punched Boston Bruins blueliner Aaron Ward down 4-0 with three minutes remaining in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinal.
Walker was penalized 17 minutes and assessed a $2,500 fine but amazingly escaped suspension despite Rules 46.12 and 46.22 mandating such for instigating a fight with 5 minutes to play. Ward didn't miss
The Boston Bruins made a smart choice by trading for center Fraser Minten last March 2025 . Acquired from the Toronto Maple Leafs for defenseman Brendan Carlo, with 15 percent of his salary retained, they maximized the return with a 2026 first-round pick, and a 2025 fourth-round pick attached to the prospect. He finished his first full season with the Bruins in 2025-26, scoring 35 points (17 goals, 18 assists) in 82 games, being moved up and down the lineup by head coach Mar...

It’s not unusual for a head coach on the hot seat to say he isn’t worried about his job. And it’s not unusual for upper management and sporting directors to mumble supportive things about such a head coach. Yet despite Liverpool’s massively disappointing 2025-26 season, that the club look tired and without a tactical identity […]

Mid-May is a little bit of an odd time to be making additions to a volleyball roster, but it is right as school years are wrapping up around the country. Maybe that’s the explanation behind UNC Wilmington setter/opposite hitter Lauren Young announcing that she will transfer to Marquette for the 2026 volleyball season. The caption […]

It still feels weird to type “Nelson” and not mean “Brock” — and hey, if Brocktober gets his elusive Stanley Cup this spring, we’ll still have cause to clarify. But the Islanders-centric Nelson news of the day is that Isles prospect Danny Nelson gets the rare opportunity to join established NHLers as part of Team […]

The Boston Bruins held exit meetings Sunday at Warrior Ice Arena, and the conversation around their defense corps was not a comfortable one.
Boston was eliminated in six games by the Buffalo Sabres, a result that exposed a defensive unit that struggled all season and then collapsed when the stakes were highest.
The Bruins allowed 4.0 expected all-situations goals per 60 minutes against Buffalo, per Natural Stat Trick, the second-worst mark in the first round behind only the Ottawa Senators...
Just the Facts Wait, why are we doing one of these? Boston was a playoff team! Yes they were! No matter what happens, they will be picking at least 23rd in this Draft. Mathis Preston or ALEXANDER COMMAND can be yours when it comes down to it! But! As a result of the Brandon Carlo […]
