Things have gone from bad to worse for the Toronto Maple Leafs , who are second last in the Eastern Conference, 10 points out of a playoff spot, no help is coming, and they have lost six games in a row and eight of nine. There are going to be some changes, and selling seems like a viable option for them unless something turns around immediately. The Maple Leafs have three capable NHL goalies, so someone has to go. With the injuries earlier in the season, Dennis Hildeby got the opportunity and ...
An ominous update from the Penguins came out just before their scheduled practice at noon today. Kris Letang and Evgeni Malkin won’t be among them. Malkin’s status has been shaky for a while, he returned from a month-long shoulder injury on January 8th but looked in pain after Sunday’s game. He didn’t miss a practice […]
The Winnipeg Jets will be sellers as we approach the trade deadline. Sitting 10 points back of a Wild Card spot in the Western Conference, the team must start facing facts that this is just a lost year. And while 36-year-old defenseman Luke Schenn is one of the more obvious trade candidates on an expiring contract, another, much younger (and larger) d-man has generated a lot of interest. Insider David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period tells us that Logan Stanley will apparently be on the move. Sou...
“We had a lot of really good moments in this game. We lost a little bit of momentum during the 5-on-3. For the most part, we’re happy with the point, but it would have been nice to get two. Definitely a lot to look forward to in terms of building our game.” – John Gruden […]

From World Juniors standouts to rising NCAA talent, this Draft Radar breaks down the prospects who could shape the Rangers’ future.
It is the loudest secret in the hockey world that the Philadelphia Flyers need to improve at the center position. General manager Danny Briere might as well be standing at the corner of Broad and Pattison waving around one of those massive medieval bells yelling if anyone has a skilled center available.
Sure, they technically have enough to ice a hockey team and they aren’t going out there every night with someone who barely knows how to play the position — some might say that there is a ...

The best team in the National Hockey league, the Québec Nordiques Colorado Avalanche, rolled into the Bell Centre on Thursday night for the final game there before the Olympic break. Keeping pace in the hotly contested Atlantic Division required the Montreal Canadiens to find a way to earn points against a formidable opponent that had routed them 7-2 in their last meeting. As a group, they came together to do precisely that, returning the favour from back in November with a 7-3 rout of their o...
The tenth time’s the charm. With a 4-3 overtime win over the San Jose Sharks on Thursday, the Edmonton Oilers finally put together their first three-game winning streak of the 2025-26 season. They had won back-to-back games nine times earlier this year, only to watch each potential heater stall in the third game. For a…
With the 2025 Texas Rangers season having come to an end, we shall be, over the course of the offseason, taking a look at every player who appeared in a major league game for the Texas Rangers in 2025. Today we are looking at first baseman Rowdy Tellez. If the Texas Rangers had made the […]
On Thursday, we looked at the Carolina Panthers run defense. While massively improved from the year prior, it still wasn’t all that great. Now the pass defense on the other hand…it also wasn’t that great. How it went The Panthers have had a pass rush problem for a long time, and it only got worse […]
If you are looking for a sign that we have reached the silly season of the NFL offseason, look no further than a rumor put out this week by The Athletic’s Zack Rosenblatt that the Jets contact former Raiders and Buccaneers head coach Jon Gruden about joining Aaron Glenn’s staff. For whatever it’s worth, WFAN’s […]
The thing that stood out the most to me about the Pittsburgh Penguins 6-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday evening is not just the players that provided the offense. It is also the players that did not provide the offense. Consider these numbers. Evgeni Malkin recorded one assist. Sidney Crosby recorded zero points. […]
Penn State returns to Hockey Valley for a two-game showdown with Michigan State this weekend. All eyes will be on the outdoor game on Saturday, but tonight’s game at Pegula Ice Arena should be a wild atmosphere. Two of the best goaltenders in the NCAA will square off this weekend in a critical battle in […]
As we know, modern NHL nicknames are terrible, with most of them either just being a player's name with an -er or -y ending tacked on, or something based on player initials that features zero creativity. Let's fix that.
How it works: Readers send in nicknames for players (or lines or pairings or whatever), and a small group of us rule on whether they were good or not.
We're be looking for either of two kinds of submissions:
- Brand new nicknames that you came up with, or that are perco...
Trocheck is too valuable to keep, Lafrenière might be broken (or fixable), and Braden Schneider could be the kind of trade chip GMs convince themselves they can save.
Maybe gathering for a podcast right after a brutal 6-2 loss wasn't the best timing?
On Thursday night, as the Philadelphia Flyers took on the Boston Bruins, Matvei Michkov took a high hit from David Pastrňák that left him bleeding, and the most alarming part wasn’t the contact itself – it was the Flyers’ lack of response afterward.
After the horn sounded in TD Garden last night after the Flyers’ 6-3 loss to the Bruins, one thing was for certain – the team lacks energy. This is not the same team that beat the brakes off the Anaheim Ducks on January 6, and definitely not t...
The Spartans are off to Happy Valley this weekend for a big series against Penn State. Friday’s game is at 6pm on B1G+, while Saturday’s game is outdoors at Beaver Stadium at 1pm on BTN. The outdoor game is expected to draw quite a crowd and the Spartans are no strangers to playing outdoors. The […]
Zach LaVine’s heave that fell wide to secure the Sixers 113-111 win over the Sacramento Kings could only bring more feelings of relief than joy. Despite it feeling prophesied that the Sixers must take every game down to the wire, they were 10-point favorites in this one. They were taking on a lottery team with […]
Good morning, LSB. The Rangers formally introduced new pitcher MacKenzie Gore yesterday. Kennedi Landry says the Rangers hope Gore can “level up” in Arlington. Evan Grant asks if adding another pitcher to this offense starved roster will be enough to compete in 2026. Kevin Sherrington says the Gore deal was too logical to pass up […]
The Islanders swept, the Rangers sleepwalked, and everyone’s mind is already on the impeding Panarin trade.
The Philadelphia Flyers limped out of the gate to face the Boston Bruins and almost immediately after they stepped onto the ice, they lost Thursday night’s matchup. This massive blunder has now caused some leaders on the team to speak out about their frustration at how the team is really sliding down the standings.
After the 6-3 loss to the Bruins, Flyers winger Travis Konecny spoke with the media and appeared extremely dejected . It’s not good practice to really dive into a player’s body...
I’m old enough to remember when a matchup between Connor Bedard and Adam Fantilli was top shelf marketing material. Maybe it still should be. The first and third overall picks in the 2023 NHL Draft , Bedard and Fantilli are two of the three players from their draft class to have already eclipsed 100 career points. And, while Anaheim’s Leo Carlsson (the second overall pick) is getting more league-wide talk than Fantilli at this point, the Columbus center (and Michigan product) has actually scor...
