Good morning. The New Jersey Devils have failed again to make the Stanley Cup Playoffs, marking three out of the last five years that they have been on the outside looking in. After the 2022-23 season, though, I had really thought the Devils would be on a four-year playoff berth streak. But before we look […]
Showtime doesn't want to play anywhere but HockeyTown. Patrick Kane spoke to the media following the Detroit Red Wings' disappointing season, and reiterated the fact he's interested in re-signing with the team. The future hall-of-famer is a pending unrestricted free agent, and while there's going to be a wealth of interest from other teams, sounds like Kane prefers sticking around Motown. “I think there is mutual interest for me to come back and continue my career here,” the 37-year-old forwar...
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
Where they stand (or hobble) at the end of the season.
This is the fourth and final of a series of roundtable questions I’m asking the staff here at Peachtree Hoops about the Hawks as we approach the postseason. Today’s two questions: who will be the X-factor in this series and who wins the Knicks-Hawks series? Who will be the X-factor in this series and why? Wes: […]
Breaking down the Flyers' regular season series with the Penguins, digging into some key stats and takeaways.
Elias Pettersson heard the trade rumors all season long during his disappointing year with the Vancouver Canucks, and even though the team finished dead last, Pettersson isn't interested in waiving his no-movement clause. The 27-year-old center spoke to the media at his end-of-season media availability, and reiterated the fact he's committed to the Canucks, and isn't interested waiving his trade protection to facilitate a deal. Pettersson is signed through the 2032 season at $11.6 million AAV,...

The Toronto Maple Leafs were looking to make a move but the Columbus Blue Jackets weren't interested. Reports have surfaced stating the Maple Leafs were looking to trade Nick Robertson heading into this season and reached out to the Blue Jackets for Yegor Chinakhov, but Columbus wasn't sold that Robertson was the move. Siegel/Johnston/Mirtle: At one point, the Leafs discussed a Nick Robertson for Egor Chinakhov swap with the Blue Jackets, but their offers fell short - The Athletic (4/15) The B...
Just the Facts Final regular season results for both teams Boston Bruins Buffalo Sabres Series Preview Man. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen these two teams against one another in the playoffs. Ever since 2010, the Sabres have embarked on an over decade long wander in the desert to become the NHL’s punching […]
The Philadelphia Flyers face the host Pittsburgh Penguins Saturday night in prime time for Game 1, before a national television audience. Nobody knows the outcome. Will the Penguins overpower and steamroll the Flyers in the opening 10 minutes? Or will Philadelphia’s youthful forwards surgically pick apart the Penguins in the neutral zone and make their lives a lot harder than they (most experts) anticipate? It’s not the first time a younger group of Flyers faced an experienced Penguins cl...
The Toronto Maple Leafs are a mess, and it was evident as ever during their end-of-season media availability. Specifically, the way William Nylander handled himself during his scrum had several members of the Toronto media landscape shaking their heads. Nylander was short, he was disengaged, and he mumbled his way through his scrum. It's tough after a disappointing season like that to come out and answer a lot of the same questions that have been asked for weeks, but at the end of the day it's...
The Montreal Canadiens secured their playoff spot relatively early this season after needing a win in the final game in 2024-25 to punch their ticket. They separated themselves from the wild-card pack during an eight-game winning streak, and were tied for top spot in the Atlantic Division as late as April 12. Despite going into the post-season playing on the road as a divisional third seed, the Canadiens ended up sixth overall in the league standings. Five of the top nine clubs were from ...
I can always appreciate when someone picks themselves off the schneid and comes up big in a timely moment. It’s how Aaron Boone himself hit that walk-off homer against the 2003 Red Sox after doing basically nothing all postseason. I also think about how lefty relievers Graeme Lloyd and Damaso Marte had poor reputations among […]
Montreal Canadiens news and notes “Today is Friday, then it will be Saturday, and the game will be on Sunday,” Jakub Dobeš shared as he tries to keep himself calm for the opening game of the playoffs. [ La Presse | Canadiens.com ] Nick Suzuki revealed the reason for his absence from practice on Thursday: the birth of his daughter the previous day.

Yes, it's weekend FTB time again.
I have to get this off my chest: the Mariners “fanny pack hat” promotional giveaway item tonight makes absolutely no sense. I get that they’re leaning into the 70s this weekend as part of their 50th anniversary season celebration, with future weekends leaning on the 80s, 90s, and so forth. But, look, the fanny pack […]
The Texas Rangers scored five runs while the Seattle Mariners scored zero runs.
