The Hawks may be done but some of their prospects are not!
Back in the summer of 2024, former New Jersey Devils general manager Tom Fitzgerald declared that he wanted to go “Big game hunting” for a premium goalie after the 2023-24 season was sunk, in large part, due to shockingly bad goaltending. Sure enough, on June 19, 2024, Fitzgerald got his man in the form of […]
The 2027 NFL Draft is a mere 361 days away, so what better time than now to look at what the Minnesota Vikings could, potentially, do when the league’s next selection meeting rolls around? Yes, I know that some of you are already rolling your eyes at this, but let me tell you. . .now […]
Anthony Joshua might fight Tyson Fury this year, but it won’t be next. The 36-year-old Joshua (29-4, 26 KO) will return to the ring on July 25 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, facing Albanian-American club fighter Kristian Prenga. The idea is clearly for Joshua to shake any rust he may feel in what should frankly be […]
The Winnipeg Jets finished the 2025-26 season without a playoff appearance, one year removed from winning the Presidents' Trophy. The questions that follow are not small ones. The Athletic's Murat Ates wrote at length this week about the Jets' precarious position in what he called the "mushy middle" of the NHL, a place defined by being too good to tank and too flawed to really contend. The core is aging. Their asset pool is depleted after years of trading draft picks for veterans who oft...

Good morning. Shawn McFarland writes about what we learned regarding the Texas Rangers as they went 3-3 at home over the last week. Kennedi Landry writes that Kumar Rocker recorded a second consecutive quality start in a unfortunate losing effort. McFarland writes that the Rangers squandered several opportunities in an exceptionally winnable game to drop […]
Welcome to the Playoff Thread for the games in the week of 4/27. Last week went pretty much as expected apart from the Battle of Pennsyvania. The Pens looked unexpectedly old and slow. Yet the oldest guy was responsible for a large chunk of their anemic scoring. (Wait – Letang isn’t older than Geno – right?). Its been fun watching playoff hockey and playing spot the Ex-Predator on most of the teams. Enjoy the week! Just a reminder – we’re always looking for new people to chat with an...
A’s 2, Rangers 1
Outside that pair of series against the Athletics and Rays, this Yankees team has been pretty adept at quickly brushing off losses. That’s something they’ll look to do in the backend of this road trip after missing out on a sweep opportunity against the Houston Astros. After Luis Gil’s increasingly disappointing efforts on Sunday—ultimately leading […]
The record-setting 2026 NFL Draft is behind us (as is the Blue-White Game), and we are well and truly off into this year’s off-season. There’s playoff hockey and basketball, as well as golf and baseball to fill our time over the next 4 months, but as always, we want football! So let’s look ahead to […]

After a tightly played Game 3, where the Bruins could point to missed opportunities as the difference between a win and a loss, fans hoped to see a little more jump on offense and a little more finish in Game 4. Instead, the Bruins turned in one of the more calamitous defensive performances in recent […]

That's Wild Leave it to heartbeat of the Minnesota Wild Marcus Foligno to come up big when it mattered. Down by one goal in the third period, the grinding winger scored the equalizing goal which then forced the overtime in which Matt Boldy scored his game-winner, for the Wild to take Game 4...
Good morning Gang Green Nation! The New York Jets completed their 2026 draft on Saturday, picking up four probable starters in edge David Bailey, tight end Kenyon Sadiq, wide receiver Omar Cooper and cornerback D’Angelo Ponds in the first two days.

The NHL playoffs grind on.
I miss Colin Greening.
The NHL playoffs are just over a week old and two teams are already gone. In both cases, the conference winners knocked off the last seed/second wild card team, with Carolina sweeping the Ottawa Senators and the Colorado Avalanche sweeping the Los Angeles Kings. Neither of those two are surprising, so thankfully the other series […]
