At the conclusion of the 2025 NFL season, four teams ended up with 3-14-0 records: the Tennessee Titans, New York Jets, Las Vegas Raiders, and the Arizona Cardinals. As a franchise, the Cardinals set a new team record for the most losses in a single season. When the NFL draft was slotted, the Raiders had […]
The Hockey Show , Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, hits the airwaves with a lot to get done tonight as five people will be sent off Survivor: NHL Playoffs island. There will likely be some discussion regarding for whom these five are cheering now that their chosen teams have been eliminated, and I'd expect some funny comments from at least a few of the departing entrants. Beyond that, our hosts will squeeze in some hockey news after the exit interviews tonig...
Raphinha has been passed fit by Barcelona after several weeks out with a hamstring injury picked up on international duty with Brazil in the United States.

The San Jose Sharks are open for business. After some wonderful luck at Tuesday's NHL Draft Lottery, the Sharks skyrocketed up the draft board and found themselves in the two hole. A very familiar spot for them, and with all of their young talent already on their roster, this is going to be very interesting to watch how general manager Mike Grier handles the draft pick. Mike Grier says he was "shocked" at the draft lottery results. Says he remains open to dealing the No. 2 pick. Obviously, the...

We’ve made it through the fun parts of the offseason. The Carolina Panthers added some potential difference makers on the defensive side of the ball in Jaelan Phillips and Devin Lloyd.

When the Nashville Predators signed Juuse Saros to an eight-year, $61.92 million contract on July 1, 2024, the deal was widely viewed as a reasonable commitment to one of the better goaltenders in the sport. Two seasons later, it looks considerably more complicated. Saros posted a .894 save percentage and a 3.16 goals-against average in 59 appearances this past season, going 28-22-8 while facing the most shots of any goaltender in the NHL for the second straight year. His goals saved abo...

The Brady Tkachuk trade speculation that erupted after Ottawa's first-round exit has now reached Boston. Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic raised the question in a piece laying out the Bruins ' offseason priorities, asking whether Boston should check in on Tkachuk's availability this summer.

"But given Ottawa's first-round exit and Tkachuk's zero-point postseason output, the Senators may be concerned about wheth...
The San Jose Sharks' top objective of the offseason should be to improve their defensive group. They need to make multiple upgrades to it, and they are also entering the summer with many pending unrestricted free agent defensemen. One player who the Sharks certainly could kick tires on this offseason is New York Rangers defenseman Braden Schneider. The Sharks were among the teams connected to Schneider leading up to the deadline, and it would make sense if they targeted him again. It is ...

“They flipped the script on us. They’re a really good team. The close-out one is the hardest. They got to their game early and got that early goal. They got some life. We never recovered from that. We just seemed flat. I’ll look into a couple of things, but we didn’t have our energy… We […] The post Winner-takes-all Game 5 required after Toronto Marlies fall flat in shutout loss to Laval appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
That's Wild The Avalanche have a distinct advantage over the Wild in one, extremely specific area. Basically, it's their defensive depth. The Wild are hurting with the absence of Jonas Brodin and Jared Spurgeon's age starting to show -- and their need to lean on Zach Bogosian and Jake Middle...
When the Minnesota Wild clinched their first-round series with the Dallas Stars, it was an emotional moment. Fans responded to the 5-2 victory by shedding tears of joy.

Nashville Predators forward Steven Stamkos was a trade candidate leading up to this year's deadline, and it would not be surprising if this carried over to the summer. If the Predators do listen to offers on Stamkos, he would generate plenty of interest. Because of this, let's look at three teams that could target Stamkos this offseason. Tampa Bay Lightning Could the Lightning look to reunite with Stamkos this summer? After another short playoff run, the possibility should not be r...

The Tampa Bay Lightning had another short playoff run this year, as they fell to the Montreal Canadiens in the first round in seven games. With this, the Lightning should be aggressively looking to boost their roster during the summer. One area that the Lightning could look to improve is their middle six. Because of this, it would not be surprising if they tried to reunite with one of their former players: Blake Coleman. With the Calgary Flames in a rebuild, Coleman has been a popular name in ...

I have nothing but complete and total respect for Victor Hedman after he announced today that he had been out of the lineup while focusing on his mental health. When an athlete as heralded and celebrated as Hedman speaks about how he needed to step away from the game that has brought him his celebrity status, it might be time to take a longer look at how hockey and sports in general takes a mental toll on those who play the game. We saw Linus Ullmark speak of the struggles he went through earl...
