Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl have long been referred to as “The Dynamic Duo” for the Edmonton Oilers for years now. In their first-round series against the Anaheim Ducks this spring, however, Vasily Podkolzin and Kasperi Kapanen are every bit as deserving of this moniker. Podkolzin and Kapanen have combined for 10 points in five…
The Carolina Panthers prioritized value over need in the 2026 NFL Draft, which is going to make for some interesting decisions at certain spots around the roster. Let’s jump into what the roster might look like come Week 1 knowing that a lot of the rookies are going to have to earn their way up […]
Panthers News: Jonathon Brooks Cleared Jonathon Brooks is healthy.

Before the Philadelphia Flyers took on the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round of the playoffs, a whole bunch of writers here at Broad Street Hockey huddled around a document and decided to jot down some thoughts and some predictions for what is going to happen. And now, after the Flyers knocked the Penguins out of the playoffs in six games, we get to sit back and look at all of our predictions and just how right (or terribly wrong) they are. Well, hopefully we don’t look like a b...
Mats Zuccarello’s return gave the Minnesota Wild exactly the spark they needed, and the effects were obvious almost immediately. Only 3 minutes and 51 seconds into the game, the Dallas Stars attempted to clear the puck out of their zone. Ryan Hartman intercepted the clearing attempt, passed th...
The New Jersey Devils don’t have an extensive list of players set to hit free agency once the playoffs conclude, but there are some minor pieces set to enter unrestricted free agency.

Oilersnation is reviving the Top 100 Edmonton Oilers of All Time list, a project originally created by the late Robin Brownlee in 2015. Dwayne Roloson comes in at No. 35 on our updated 2025 list. He was ranked No. 45 on Brownlee’s original list. The 2005-06 Cinderella story of the Edmonton Oilers was nothing short…
Penn State hockey bolstered its goaltending room with a commitment from Crew Petty on Wednesday: Petty played 33 games for the Gilmour Academy, where he posted a .919 save percentage and 2.19 GAA. He is set to join Penn State in the 2026-27 season. Of all the questions Penn State hockey has about roster construction […]

The Pittsburgh Penguins playoff run and 2025-26 season came to an end on Wednesday night with a 1-0 overtime loss to the Philadelphia Flyers. It is a frustrating loss, mostly because the Penguins were the better team for most of the game, including the third period and overtime. It was the third consecutive game in […]
The YzerPlan hasn't worked out as well as Yzer-planned. But there's a new YzerPlan and this one could involve Vincent Trocheck.

Oregon’s Spring Game scrimmage between the “Fighting Ducks” (white jerseys) and “Combat Ducks” (black jerseys) is the only opportunity the general public has to observe the football team during the off season.

It was a quick transition into the Colorado Avalanche’s first-round series with the LA Kings. Now, we wait for that pivotal second-round series with the opponent still undetermined. Here are our thoughts on how that Kings sweep unfolded and on what to expect moving forward. Who was your first round MVP? Adrian: Artturi Lehkonen gets my […]
Throughout the Flyers first round series against the Penguins, a common talking point that was brought up either on the broadcast, or in other media circles, was the gap in playoff experience. Pittsburgh’s roster had nearly four times the postseason games played compared to the youthful Flyers, whose total was even boosted disproportionally by their grizzled fourth line. The majority of the important pieces that they were relying on had never been here before, and in the case of nam...
The postmortem for an elimination game is always something. Add in the twist that Game 6 was a 1-0 OT loss and that takes it to a new level. On the simplest of terms, it doesn’t take much more than the surface level fact that you can’t win if you don’t score. That proved to […]
With the series tied at two apiece, the Montreal Canadiens and Tampa Bay Lightning were back in Florida for a crucial game five matchup. The Habs went on the road with a bit of a different look to their lineup, and grinded out a 3-2 win in which they surrendered two separate one-goal leads. Now, they get the opportunity to go back to the Bell Centre on Friday with a chance to eliminate the Lightning and move on to the second round of the playoffs. Jon Cooper is widely regarded as one of, ...

A week from the lottery, Eric and Joe break down what happens if the Rangers fall to three or four, why the top two picks being wingers is mildly unnerving, and which Ranger is most likely to start an international incident.
We’ve officially reached the end of April. We are just under a week away from the Big Ten Softball Tournament, while we are less than a month away from Selection Monday for baseball. Time flies when you are having fun, and if you are watching these two teams, time is hauling ass. I can’t believe […]
Has the psychological aspect of a playoff series begun? If Joel Quenneville’s theory is true, we should’ve seen the Edmonton Oilers performance against the Anaheim Ducks comin’. If the shoe fits, after all. “I always find in the course of a playoff series, there’s going to be one game that you want to throw in…
Rangers 3, Yankees 0
Charlie cleans up Episode 81: Joe still can't pronounce the podcast's name, and J.T. Miller's "controller disconnected" moments are really more of a trend.
The Yankees picked up their fourth consecutive series win, taking the first two games from the Rangers at Globe Life Field. The offense may have gotten on the plane back to New York early as they got shut out by Nathan Eovaldi in the series finale, but they can still be proud of a 7-2 […]
