The Colorado Avalanche have a chance to take a firm grasp on their first-round series against the team from the city of fallen angels.

Fresh off the 5-2 drubbing of the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 3 on Wednesday night, the Flyers have grabbed a commanding 3-0 series lead. On account of strong performances up and down the lineup, and all players buying into their spot in this lineup, the Flyers are on the verge of the second round. One player who is making an underrated impact in this series? Playoff Risto himself, Rasmus Ristolainen. It turns out, after years of waiting for Playoff Risto, that maybe there was truth behi...
Tonight is the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. The Jets will start the night owning the 2nd and 16th overall picks. They could conceivably trade down from 2 and either up or down from 16. It also isn’t inconceivable that the Jets could trade up to add a third pick in the opening […]
Timo Meier still has five seasons to go on the eight year deal he signed in late June of 2023. Yet this season has to have the New Jersey Devils and their fans questioning if he plays out the end of it in New Jersey. When the team acquired Meier at the 2023 trade deadline, […]

The Oilers missed an opportunity to take control of this first-round series on Wednesday night, falling 6-4 to the Ducks at Rogers Place. The two teams now head to Anaheim tied at one win each.

Your Oregon Ducks baseball and softball teams were both in action on Wednesday evening, both facing off against the Oregon State Beavers. Let’s kick things off with the ladies, who were playing host to the Beavs, and looking to keep their winning streak going. Oregon would jump ahead real early, going up 2-0 on a […]
The New Jersey Devils made what looked like a premature move near the end of the regular season when they fired president of hockey operations and general manager Tom Fitzgerald with five games to play. Now, we're getting a little more insight into that peculiar move from insider Elliotte Friedman. Appearing on NHL Network's Morning Skate , he explains that the Devils felt compelled to move quickly in order to get their man, Sunny Mehta. And it was essentially the Toronto Maple Lea...
Boston College stumbled, but Drew Fortescue didn’t. Then came a nine-game NHL audition that turned heads across the Rangers organization.
Newcastle United could face a major decision on Anthony Gordon this summer, with the club open to a sale if their valuation is met amid growing interest from Europe’s top clubs.

There were decisions to be made going into Game 3 last night for how the Penguins would respond to playing on the road, trailing 2-0 in their series with the Philadelphia Flyers. “There should be frustration,” Dan Muse said after Game 2. “We just lost two games at home. How are you going to respond? […]
Pirates 8, Rangers 4
The Oilers pulled off a comeback win in Game 1, which meant the boys had a massive opportunity to put the Ducks on the ropes if they could replicate the result. Being up 2-0 in the series would really put Edmonton in the driver’s seat, but you also knew Anaheim was going to come out…
Breakup Day is in the books and the reviews are mixed—Jonathan Quick gets his flowers, Mika Zibanejad gets cautiously forgiven, and J.T. Miller gets absolutely none of the above. Plus: the Drury transparency debate and a mailbag that lands on Brady Tkachuk.

Look, it's hard to find any joy when the Minnesota Wild just suffered an overtime loss in Game 3 to hand the Dallas Stars a 2-1 series lead and now we're thinking really bad thoughts about another first-round exit. But, the play that Matt Boldy made to tie the game 2-2 in the second period on Wednes...
Charlie's back to set the record straight after Ep. 80—correcting Eric's questionable self-assessment, fun with spelling, and the cliché that J.T. Miller was better in the second half.

Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
It’s always a weird time of year doing these things. Yes, there are still plenty to talk about with Husker athletics, but not having something every day makes it a lot more difficult. Other than that, there is a hodgepodge of things going on, but when your teams suck (Bulls and Flames), the playoffs just […]
In sudden-death overtime, you’re only a shot away from winning the game, but only if you actually take it. In overtime on Tuesday night, the Montreal Canadiens did not record a single shot on goal. Even in their Game 6 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2021, when they were outshot 13-1 before Jesperi Kotkaniemi’s game-winner, they had more shots than they did in the 12:48 of extra hockey in Game 2 of their series against the Tampa Bay Lightning. There is no denying that Kirby Dach ...
