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 […]

A daily roundup of Jets, Moose coverage — all the pro hockey news that matters in Manitoba and beyond.
With the month of April about to be in the books, we’re nearing the end of the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Six of the eight series have been incredibly hard fought with either high levels of quality hockey, entertaining hockey, or burning hatred between the two sides. The Carolina Hurricanes have been […]
The Minnesota Wild threatened to fall apart without Mats Zuccarello to start the season, and they threatened to fall apart in the playoffs without him, falling behind two games to one against the Dallas Stars. On paper, it feels absurd that Zuccarello should be the player to derail Minnesota to...
Semyon Der-Arguchintsev wants to come back to Toronto. The 25-year-old center's agent, Shumi Babaev, confirmed to R.org's Daria Tuboltseva that his client is considering a return to the Toronto Maple Leafs organization after three seasons in the KHL. "Semyon is considering the option of returning to Toronto," Babaev said. "We contacted former general manager Brad Treliving and expressed our desire to return to the club's system. Now we are waiting for the appointment of a new general manag...
It won’t show up on the scoresheet, and it wasn’t directed at anyone in particular. But at one point in overtime, Dan Vladar sounded like he had enough. And he let his teammates know it. With just under six minutes to go in Game 6, and the game still looking for its first goal, Flyers defenseman Cam York cleared the puck. But once again — as was the case for nearly all of the overtime — the Penguins gobbled the puck up in the neutral zone and drove back in. York again played the puck behi...

Yesterday, we learned Mark Pope was heading to Israel to meet with Marcio Santos, a Brazilian center playing for Maccabi Tel Aviv. Things seem to be moving quickly in this recruitment, so today, we’re keeping an eye on Santos to see if Kentucky can lock him down and bring him to Lexington. The 23-year-old has […]
The playoffs are steadily widdling down the number of combatants, with the Penguins the latest to fall. Tonight the Wild-Stars and Ducks-Oilers resume their series, with the home team in each aiming to stave off elimination again. Yesterday’s late-breaking news was expected yet tempered by the Islanders’ late-season swoon: Ilya Sorokin is indeed one of […]
Florian Xhekaj scored a goal and Kaapo Kähkönen made 20 saves as the Laval Rocket beat the Toronto Marlies 3-1 on Wednesday night at Place Bell.

The Rocket were playing their first game of the playoffs, while the Marlies beat the Rochester Americans 2-1 in their three-game series to advance. ...
Up until the very end, the Pittsburgh Penguins battled and fought to force a Game 7 against the Philadelphia Flyers in their first round series, but Dan Vladar was a brick wall in net and Cam York found a just enough daylight behind Arturs Silovs to score an overtime winner that gave the Flyers a […]
*There’s no sense burying the lede here: the Flyers are moving on to the second round! It took a weird and wild overtime game to get there, but they pulled it off. [ BSH ] *Defenseman Cam York was the overtime hero, and he celebrated it in probably the funniest way possible. [ BSH ] *Of course, there’s a whole lot to dig into after a win as big as that one. [ NBCSP ] *In fact, we’ve got takeaways from both sides of the matchup. [ The Athletic ] *One of the bigger bits of ne...
Per Paul Joyce, Liverpool FC goalkeeper Alisson Becker is receptive to a long-term move to Juventus. However, the Brazilian custodian wants to be respectful of Liverpool and will leave the decision in the club’s hands if a formal transfer offer is submitted by the Turin club. The club had previously triggered an extension in March, […]

[ CBC ] Veterans will have to help keep emotions...
The Tampa Bay Lightning battled back from one goal deficits twice against the Montreal Canadiens in Game Five of their first round series. Unfortunately, they couldn’t answer Alexandre Texier’s early third-period goal as Jakub Dobes made 17 of his 38 saves in the final frame to preserve a 3-2 Montreal win. The series heads back to Montreal with the Lightning facing elimination on Friday. The too-long-didn’t-read version of the game is that Montreal scored all of the big momentum goals. Th...
With the weight of the city of Philadelphia on his shoulders, Flyers defenseman Cam York was able to finish off the Pittsburgh Penguins in dramatic fashion. Potentially ending that entire era of Penguins hockey with one quick flick of his wrist from the point in an improbable overtime period. And of course, he celebrated like a mad man. The Flyers and Penguins were butting heads for the entire 60 minutes through regulation — trading off brief glimpses of high-event hockey as both teams ha...
The Pittsburgh Penguins wanted to be the 11th team in NHL history to force a deciding Game 7 after going down 3-0 in a series but the Philadelphia Flyers stopped them in their tracks and ended up with the series win Wednesday night. Through 60 minutes, the goaltenders were perfect. It was the first time since 2002 that the Flyers went to overtime in a scoreless game — a 1-0 win against Ottawa. Through the nerves, the sweat, and the anxiety, history repeated, and the Flyers are on to the s...
Pregame The Penguins use the same players, lines and goalie from Game 5 for Game 6. Matvei Michkov is back in the lineup for the Flyers, who sit Garnet Hathaway. Philadelphia makes tweaks to all their forward lines and get Noah Juulsen back in the game on defense. First period Not the greatest start for […]
Toronto went to Cleveland with a singular mission. They wanted to do something neither team has done yet in this series: Win on the road. A challenging task on a regular day, even more so in the playoffs. The crowd is unwelcoming. The opponent is more comfortable. It’s no surprise they weren’t able to overcome […]
