The Oilers put themselves in a difficult spot Friday night, falling 7-4 to the Ducks in Anaheim as the series shifted in the home team’s favour. Edmonton opened the scoring midway through the first period when Vasily Podkolzin found the back of the net, but the lead didn’t last long. Anaheim responded with two goals…
PLEASE DO NOT SPOIL PICKS BEFORE THEY ARE ANNOUNCED The first two rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft are in the books. On day one the New York Jets selected edge defender David Bailey at #2, then picked up a couple of pass catchers when they selected tight end Kenyon Sadiq at #16 and traded […]
Vincent Trocheck was held out of games this season because of how active trade talks were around him, so heading into the offseason, expect to see the New York Rangers once again taking calls. The Rangers are going to be retooling on the fly and know that Trocheck is likely their best trade asset to get back some players with high ceilings, and a ton of potential. Considering they won't be winning a Stanley Cup in the next three years, GM Chris Drury would be wise to maximize his return. Troch...
Zero points in 13 NHL games. Six recalls, six reassignments. The breakout that never came—and an RFA summer ahead.
WELCOME TO THE COLISEUM ALFONSO PÉREZ!!! The tiny home of Getafe in Madrid is the site of a big La Liga match between the hosts and leaders Barcelona, who come into this one looking for their first win away to Getafe in six years to stay in full control of the title race. This should […]
Good morning, LSB. The Rangers got thwomped by the A’s last night. Nathan Eovaldi allowed four homers in the loss and now leads the league in that category. Overall the debut of the Rangers’ red City Connect uniforms could’ve gone better. Elsewhere Jeff Wilson writes about Peyton Gray’s “dream moment” in his debut. A simple […]
The St. Louis Blues are very likely trading goaltender Jordan Binnington this summer. The veteran goalie is entering the final season of his contract, and with Joel Hofer proving this season he's capable of leading the charge, the Blues will continue their ongoing retool, moving on from Binnington. The Richmond Hill, ON native is signed for next season at $6 million AAV, and owns a 10-team no-trade list. At 32 years old, there's certainly something to play for next season as this will likely b...

Just like one week ago, the Carolina Hurricanes and Ottawa Senators open Saturday’s slate of Stanley Cup Playoff action with a 3:00 PM EST puck drop. In the week since, the Hurricanes have earned three consecutive tight wins over the Senators, taking a 3-0 series lead and giving themselves the opportunity to advance to the […]
Keep an eye on the Toronto Maple Leafs this summer. The Maple Leafs are in the process of changing up their management regime and from all accounts, it sounds like CEO Keith Pelley is trying to find a new Kyle Dubas, because all of the things he described the team was searching for, Dubas brings to the table. Regardless of who's in charge, expect to see the Leafs make an offseason trade involving a goaltender. Toronto doesn't have much for prospects or draft picks in the cupboards, so they're ...
What’s the playoffs without a little hype, especially for a team leading their first round series such as the Colorado Avalanche. Here is the latest installment of Peak Access from the organization. Following the Game 1 win over the LA Kings, netminder Scott Wedgewood was interviewed by the TNT crew. They went over his stellar […]
After a sloppy, messy loss on Wednesday night, the Edmonton Oilers made their way down to Anaheim for their first of two games at the Honda Center. And with the Ducks feeling pretty good about the way things went for them two nights before, it was going to take a much better effort from the…
The Edmonton Oilers have some issues right now, and if they can't get by the Anaheim Ducks in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, expect head coach Kris Knoblauch to be fired. Frank Seravalli: Re Kris Knoblauch/Oilers: If they lose in the first round or flame out early I think he absolutely is in the crosshairs - Big Show (4/17) The Oilers went down 2-1 in the series on Friday night, after a 7-4 drumming by the Ducks. Conor Ingram let in six goals and there's no doubt Edmonton is havi...
The Carolina Panthers left the second day of the 2026 NFL Draft with a mammoth of a defensive tackle/3-4 defensive end in Lee Hunter and a blazing fast wide receiver in Chris Brazzell. They also, to read the comments section, executed a questionable trade and then reached a bit for their third round selection. Let’s […]
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
After trading back, the Colts landed one of the cleaner linebacker fits in the draft with CJ Allen at pick No. 53. He is expected to step into Lou Anarumo’s defense next to Akeem Davis-Gaither and compete to replace the role Zaire Franklin held in the middle of the defense. Allen brings leadership, range, and […]

The Minnesota Wild enter Saturday in a 2-1 hole, and a big reason is that the Dallas Stars have been able to bottle up Kirill Kaprizov in Games 2 and 3.

With the Montreal Canadiens taking a 2-1 series lead over the Tampa Bay Lightning on the back of some incredible work by Lane Hutson, the plaudits are fairly directed at the Habs’ top defensive star. However, through three games it’s a surprising name who continues to tilt the ice in a big way, even in limited minutes. Arber Xhekaj entered this series as a third-pairing defenceman, a role he’s mostly occupied this season, with its fair share of turbulent times that saw him out of the line...
