It was a shock around the hockey world when the Vegas Golden Knights fired head coach Bruce Cassidy with eight games left in the regular season last month. Make no mistake, Cassidy will be able to pick and choose his next job behind a bench in the NHL, as there will be no shortage of teams interested in bringing him in. One of those teams, a club where there are serious questions being asked about their current bench boss, is the Edmonton Oilers. After a first-round flameout t...

The Texas Rangers scored twice but the New York Yankees scored nine runs. No team in the American League is very good right now except for the team the Rangers have played like six times in the last two weeks, which happens to be the team they played today. The Rangers won two of those […]
The Rally Towel. Fans at Grand Casino Arena are greeted with a gratis prop that they can wave throughout the game. It's a storied tradition in many sports, as recounted on a Wikipedia page I'm not going to summarize. Just know, if you go to a playoff game, you're gonna get a towel, and it's gonna ha...
The Edmonton Oilers had a disappointing season in 2025-26, falling well short of expectations in both the regular season and the playoffs. Whether it was fatigue, injuries, goaltending, or coaching, they never got everything clicking at the same time. That’s not to say there weren’t any players who made strides, however, as a few players…
For some, it comes as a surprise that Evan Bouchard wasn’t nominated for the Norris Trophy. For others, it’s completely understandable. Over the past season, the defenceman made a case for himself to receive a nomination and it turned into quite the debate and conversation in the later stages of the NHL season. Pundits and…
Another Edmonton Oiler will be representing their country at the upcoming IIHF World Championships.

With almost two months to go until the Draft, there is still plenty of time to get familiar with the top prospects in this class.
Jasson Domínguez exited today’s game against the Rangers after a scary collision with the left field wall. Brandon Nimmo, Texas’ leadoff hitter, sent a line drive to left, which Domínguez caught before ramming into the wall. Domínguez immediately went to the ground and Aaron Boone and the team’s trainers quickly ran to the outfield. The left fielder was […]
The Philadelphia Flyers are just hours away from hosting their first second-round playoff game since 2012 and we have good what looks to be a brand-new lineup for Game 3 against the Carolina Hurricanes.
With Noah Cates suffering a series-ending injury , head coach Rick Tocchet was forced to make some major changes to his lineup. The 27-year-old center was a key part of what worked down the middle and since this team is already lacking some firepower at center — especially considering Cate...
Following Barcelona’s exit from the Champions League this season, one thing has become absolutely clear. Barcelona really need an elite center-back. Inigo Martinez has been missed, Barca’s defence exposed multiple times and none of Ronaldo Araujo, Eric Garcia nor Gerard Martin have solved that issue.

With playoffs in progress for some leagues and ending for other leagues, this is clearly one of the busiest times of the year in the hockey world. The NHL Draft Lottery just saw Toronto claim the top pick, there was a new expansion team announced in the PWHL, there will be a new name and logo for the AHL team in Hamilton announced soon, and there are stories from around the globe that should be examined. I'm not doing any of that tonight, though, because my life has been busy enough with the i...
Despite a regular season that saw him lead all defencemen in scoring by 14 points, Evan Bouchard’s tremendous 2025-26 season won’t earn him a Norris Trophy. The Edmonton Oilers defenceman was not named among the three finalists named for the award Thursday morning. Instead, Colorado Avalanche defenceman Cale Makar, Columbus Blue Jackets defenceman Zach Werenski,…

Nothing about the 2025-26 Pittsburgh Penguins went as anybody expected it to go. When offseason began early in the summer of 2025, there was a belief that the team would not only be bad, but that it would be one of the worst teams in the NHL. There was a common theme nationally that there […]
While the Flyers have generally outperformed expectations over their first series and change in this playoff run, there has been one specific scenario that they just cannot get right. Throughout the first seven first periods they played in the playoffs, the Flyers have failed to score.
Despite blitzing the Penguins early on and running out to a 3-0 series lead, the Flyers never really took the play to the Penguins early on. In fact, the Penguins seemed to be the quicker team off the mark...
