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 […]

In over an hour of ice time between his previous two contests, Kaprizov has a lone assist and four shots on goal. He's laid both those eggs without...

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...

Recap of the second game of the playoffs.
I had a number of errands I needed to get done tonight, so my ability to watch the Stanley Cup Playoffs was interrupted by life. As much as I try to prevent this from happening, life occasionally gets in the way and needs to be dealt with accordingly. Being that I was running around tonight, I put the car stereo to good use by tuning into Game Two of the AHL Calder Cup series between the Milwaukee Admirals and the Manitoba Moose, but I also used Bluetooth to listen to Game One of the ECHL Kell...
There really are no bad shots in overtime. Just over two minutes into the third straight overtime game between Tampa Bay and Montreal, Lane Hutson proved that as he wound up and unleashed a shot through a forest of players that somehow eluded every stick, elbow, skate, shin pad, and blocker before finding the back of the net to give the home team the 3-2 victory. It was another tight game between the two teams that saw waves of momentum come and go for both sides. Montreal opened the scor...
The A’s sure needed that day off apparently. They marched into Texas this evening and looked like the better team in every facet of the game against the Rangers. That allowed the A’s to romp to a series-opening win and reclaim sole possession of first place in the AL West. Life is good. A’s ambush […]
The Texas Rangers scored a run but the West Coast Athletics scored eight runs. The Rangers donned their new Oklahoma Sooner college baseball uniforms and then Nathan Eovaldi allowed three home runs in the game’s first seven pitches and then like two and a half hours later here Texas is back at .500. Player of […]
With the 83rd pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers have selected Tennessee wide receiver Chris Brazzell II. Accolades Biletnikoff Award Semifinalist First Team All-SEC Third Team All-American Bottom Line Brazzell is exactly the type of deep speed receiver the Panthers offense has needed for a while. At 6’4″, 198 lbs, he ran […]
The building is loud, as it always is. It’s playoff hockey in Montreal. First period The Canadiens look sharp to start, using their speed to close down all attempted Lightning rushes in the neutral zone. Zachary Bolduc gains the zone by getting the puck to Kirby Dach, who saucers it back to him. Bolduc makes a quick turn back to the slot to find a trailing Alexandre Texier, and the Frenchman makes it 1-0 for the home side. Dach to Bolduc to Texier and it's 1-0 Habs! [...
Another one! The Miami Hurricanes added another name to the 2026 NFL Draft class as OT Markel Bell was selected with the 68th overall pick in the third round of the draft on Friday night by the Philadelphia Eagles. And Bell is a prospect who defies easy description. At 6’9″ and 346 pounds with 36 3/8-inch arms and an 87-inch […]
The New York Jets are loaded with draft capital in the 2026 NFL Draft, especially at the top, where they have two first and two second-round picks at their disposal. The Jets don’t have their third-round pick, however, which was used two offseasons ago in the Haason Reddick trade that proved to be a disaster […]
The Philadelphia Eagles had eight draft picks heading into the 2026 NFL Draft, with six of them coming in the first four rounds. They’d doubled up on third and fourth-round picks, thanks to the compensatory formula and a trade from the 2024 offseason: dealing Haason Reddick to the New York Jets. At the time, the […]
The Detroit Lions acquired pick No. 44 in the 2026 NFL Draft from the New York Jets in order to acquire Michigan edge rusher Derrick Moore. To secure the opportunity to select Moore, the Lions sent picks No. 50 and No. 128 to Aaron Glenn and the Jets. Let’s take a look at Moore’s background […]
