Last night’s Minnesota Wild game was stressful, to say the least. It felt very much like that friend who pregamed too hard before hitting the town. Then, instead of having a good time and enjoying themselves with a few drinks and dancing, the fans were forced to babysit the “good time friend” throug...
Winnipeg currently set to draft in the 7th spot but that could change Tuesday night.
Ez Abde is one of several players who have been linked with a move to Barcelona this summer as the Catalans search for a left winger to bolster their attack. The Morocco international spent a couple of years at Barcelona earlier in his career before heading to Osasuna on loan and then Real Betis on […]
The offseason has come much earlier in Oil Country than it has over the past few seasons, and that means that big changes are likely on the way. Over the next few weeks, I will be looking at the five biggest questions that will define this summer for the Oilers and, in turn, could wind…
Over the next few months, we’ll be breaking down all of the rookies added by the Jets during the draft and as undrafted free agents. We continue today with quarterback Cade Klubnik. The 22-year old Klubnik is listed at 6’2” and 207 pounds and was the 110th overall pick in the fourth round out of […]
Our series of profiles on the New Jersey Devils’ pending free agents continues today with a look at Simon Nemec. The young defenseman was once viewed as a key part of the Devils’ future, but stalled development and a change in leadership at the top might change that as he reaches restricted free agency. Let’s […]
The Minnesota Vikings 2026 draft class is here — and if you’re already fitting rookies for gold jackets, pump the brakes.

The 2025-26 season is officially in the books for the Pittsburgh Penguins, and it was mostly an unexpected success in a couple of different ways. On a team level, they exceeded every possible expectation anybody had for them in the preseason and snapped the franchise’s three-year playoff drought. The postseason run was brief and ended […]

Think of where you were when Artturi Lehkonen scored on the power play to put the Colorado Avalanche up 3-0. Lehkonen scored 13:13 into the first period, meaning there were almost 47 minutes left to play. Still, the Minnesota Wild told you everything you need to know about them in those first 13 min...

This week, we’re discussing the Oilers’ exit pressers, Kris Knoblauch’s future, Leon Draisaitl’s concern about the team’s direction, and more….
Good morning. Shawn McFarland is contractually obligated to type words about the unproductive Texas Rangers offense for the several hundredth time as he checks in on how the club has performed recently. But now McFarland is also forced to write about the defense letting the Rangers down more often this season, as it did in […]
Welcome to the Playoff Thread for the games in the week of 5/4. Well we’re into Round Two now with plenty of interesting match ups. Still many former Predators left in the mix. Who are you bandwagoning? Have you all seen the Captain giving piggy back rides while telling his kids they have to eat their broccoli? Then Ellie saying this is normal life. Don’t blink during the commercials. Just a reminder – we’re always looking for new people to chat with and to be part of our co...
Tanner Glass is replacing Jed Ortmeyer, and Rangers fans aren’t happy. But his playing career may be the least relevant data point we have.
After six extremely tight, hard-fought games, the Montreal Canadiens saved their worst for last against the Tampa Bay Lightning. They struggled mightily to get shots on goal in game seven, unable to get through the wall of bodies the Lightning were putting in the shooting lanes, and often missing the net entirely when they did. The result was a paltry nine shots on goal for the Habs through 60 minutes. But they don’t ask how, they ask how many, and the answer you’re looking for in the playoffs...
That's Wild Well, that was certainly a hockey game. The Minnesota Wild come back from multiple multi-goal deficits but it was not enough as the Colorado Avalanche just kept pouring it on to win Game 1 of the second round by a score of 9-6. It is almost inconceivable to think of a team that w...
The Vancouver Canucks ' GM search added a big name when TSN's Darren Dreger reported that Pierre Dorion was in Vancouver last week and has interviewed for the organization's vacant general manager position. Dorion, 53, spent eight seasons as GM of the Ottawa Senators from 2016 through 2023 and has been out of the league since his dismissal following the organization's role in the invalidated Evgenii Dadonov trade, which cost Ottawa a first-round pick and a $1M fine. He is now the only cand...
Tigers 7, Rangers 1
Clemson edge rusher T.J. Parker was projected as a first-round pick in the NFL Draft following a 2024 season that saw him dominate in the ACC, amassing 11 sacks with 19.5 tackles for a loss and six forced fumbles. Then, last year, Parker’s productivity dropped off, and he managed only five sacks with 9.5 tackles […]
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
Colorado Avalanche News News Around the League
One of the keys in NFL roster building is nailing second round picks. Players drafted between No. 33 and No. 64 offer some of the best opportunities for teams to fill their rosters with guys who significantly outperform their cap hits. Former college stars taken in the second round are often still the third or […]
The Ottawa Senators were swept by the Carolina Hurricanes in the first round of the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs, and GM Steve Staios enters the offseason with a clear and specific list of things he wants to address. Near the top of that list, per Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun , is a reliable backup goaltender. Staios intends to go shopping for one this summer. James Reimer, who signed with Ottawa midway through the season after clearing a professional tryout with the Toronto Maple Leafs...
Zach Benson is a 20-year-old terrifically talented, ultra-pesky, super-skilled Buffalo Sabres forward who has ascended to cult hero status with dazzling, bordering-on-dirty play throughout the regular season and particularly during the team’s first-round defeat of the Boston Bruins. It got me thinking. Who is Zach Benson on the Buffalo Bills? After the team’s series-clinching win […]
