There’s a lot going on around the NHL on Monday, including a general manager getting canned. That, some significant injury news — including two former Blackhawks — and a couple veteran names getting tossed into trade speculation means it’s a good time for us to take a quick lap around the NHL. Adams Out in Buffalo The Buffalo Sabres have fired general manager Kevyn Adams. Jarmo Kekäläinen will take over as the new GM in Buffalo. Kekäläinen was the first European-born general man...
The rumors had been out there for a few days. Now it is official. In the midst of another awful season, the Buffalo Sabres have fired GM Kevyn Adams. And, also as expected, Jarmo Kekäläinen has been installed as the new general manager. And as Elliotte Friedman tells us, it is not an interim tag. Kekalainen is the new full-time GM. A statement from Sabres owner Terry Pegula. More → https://t.co/aAOWK78xeO pic.twitter.com/rCTKzdsXGK — Buffalo Sabres (@BuffaloSabres) December ...
The All-America honors came pouring in last week, and a number of Miami Hurricanes found themselves earning nods from various outlets after strong performances in 2025. However, the big one was released on Monday in the form of the Associated Press All-America team, and three Hurricanes found themselves among their ranks: Francis Mauigoa, Rueben Bain, […]
The Bakersfield Condors have won three out of their last five games, and it’s been on the back of some strong offensive performances. The Condors picked up wins against Tucson (two) and Henderson, but dropped the other two games they played against the Silver Knights. In their wins, the Condors scored five goals, four goals,…
Good Monday morning Caps fans. I hope you are having a good start to your week and to the off-season. The Caps threw a spanner in the works last week with the stadium, disrupting the typical off-season flow (not in a bad way though). We still have plenty to digest, however, with the club making decisions on contracts heading into next year. Some moves were … Source
The Edmonton Oilers have recalled forward Quinn Hutson from the AHL’s Bakersfield Condors after a red-hot start to his rookie season. Hutson, 23, who signed with the Oilers last spring, has appeared in 24 games this season, scoring 16 goals and 28 points, leading all AHL rookies in both marks. He also leads all AHL…
The news isn’t great, but it certainly could’ve been worse, too. After practice on Monday, Blackhawks coach Jeff Blashill provided an injury update on Connor Bedard, who suffered an apparent injury to his right shoulder while taking a faceoff in the closing seconds of Friday’s game against the St. Louis Blues. According to Blashill, Bedard is not expected back for this calendar year and will be re-evaluated when the calendar flips to 2026. Connor Bedard will be reevaluated after the ...
The Nashville Predators are on a clear path to rebuilding and tearing it all down, much like the Chicago Blackhawks did before getting lucky with Connor Bedard and what the San Jose Sharks did, trading or moving on from all of their old core and old regime. The Predators need this. Roman Josi, Filip Forsberg, and Juuse Saros are three great pieces to have, but the team hasn't been built well around them and they missed their shot at a Stanley Cup because the door slammed shut last offseason af...
The Philadelphia Flyers walked through the quicksands of increasingly tough opponents last week and proceeded to do everything that they are known to do this season. Nothing major was figured out — there were no breakthroughs or discoveries that have us all giddy at the thought of going through more of this campaign. It was the Flyers trying to play Rick Tocchet-style low-event hockey against some of the NHL’s best teams and getting some loser points out of their efforts. A nice and tidy ...
The Blackhawks announced some roster moves before practice on Monday morning in Chicago. Connor Bedard (upper body) was placed on injured reserve retroactive to Dec. 12. Defenseman Ethan Del Mastro was recalled from Rockford. Goaltender Laurent Brossoit was recalled from Rockford. After practice, Blackhawks head coach Jeff Blashill said Bedard “will be reevaluated after the New Year.” The Blackhawks have seven games between now and the end of the calendar year, an...
The Edmonton Oilers made moves trading out Stuart Skinner and Brett Kulak to bring in Tristan Jarry and Spencer Stastney. This addressed issues now and in the future, while also getting younger on the back-end for cheaper. The Oilers aren't done making moves, and while it makes sense to also move out Calvin Pickard now, more may be available at the trade deadline for Edmonton. David Pagnotta said, "I think they're going to explore adding later on in the season...from a defensive perspective, w...
With the Phillies in need of multiple outfielders for next season, they have reportedly come to terms with free agent Adolis Garcia, formerly of the Texas Rangers. The Cuban-born Garcia got a late start in MLB, playing his rookie season at age 28 in 2021. But he quickly acclimated, making the All-Star team that year, […]
So it seems like the Jaguars are getting hot at the right time, huh? In the first year under head coach Liam Coen, the Jacksonville Jaguars are going to finish with a winning record. The team secured that after a 48-20 ass-kicking over the New York Jets. Sunday’s win moved the team to 10-4 overall, […]
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 Josh Jung. There is a level of irony in the fact that […]
The Texas Rangers let Adolis Garcia go after a steep decline the last two years, but the 32-year-old outfielder found a healthy big league contract available to him. The Philadelphia Phillies are betting relatively big on a Garcia bounce-back: BREAKING: Cuban OF Adolis García and the Philadelphia Phillies are finalizing a one-year, $10 million contract, pending a physical, per sources. Adolis will look to contribute on a contending team and return to his 2023 offensive production, wh...
Team Canada is going to be exciting and interesting with many of the decisions. All of the players who were there last year for 4 Nations are not guaranteed to be back. There will likely be a couple of changes at every position - forward, defense, goalie - but there are plenty of goalies who could be in the mix as Canadians have played well in net this season. At the 4 Nations Faceoff, Jordan Binnington, Adin Hill, and Sam Montembeault all went, but those three just don't have the numbers to w...
MBB ends 5 game losing streak WBB bounces back with a win Oregon QB Dante Moore remains Mel Kiper’s No. 1 overall prospect Lanning remains optimistic about Dakorien Moore, Gary Bryant Jr. Highlight of the Day: Ducks takedown the Bobcats on the court

Always lingering are these Florida Panthers. After muddling through the first part of the season it appears that the Lightning’s in-state rivals are starting to heat up a bit. Winners of four o...
Conditions are favourable for panic and feelings of dread
The modern NBA increasingly prioritizes big ballhandlers and creators, which makes diminutive scoring guards like Jalen Brunson increasingly rare. Spitting in the eye of the trend, the future mayor of New York’s 40-point performance in the NBA Cup semifinal against Orlando gave us further proof of his basketball genius. “He’s got good pace, and he’s […]
Stan Bowman hasn’t been afraid to pull the trigger since becoming the Edmonton Oilers’ general manager. He was thrown directly into the fire with the Dylan Holloway and Philip Broberg offer sheets, but still managed to come out ahead by acquiring Ty Emberson and Vasily Podkolzin. Bowman has continued to tweak his roster, bringing in…
The definition of a "kicked puck" seems pretty cut and dry, but not if you ask the PWHL.
Mike and Dan recap the Islanders’ week of winning shootouts (!) and the big trades that went down in the NHL before the weekend. When was the last time the Islanders won two shootouts in the same week? With the same guy scoring both game-winners? Feels like never. We talk about the wins (and blown […]
There has been a lot of Tom Fitzgerald discourse lately, and rightfully so. Between the New Jersey Devils’ slide down the standings, the general inaction from the front office in addressing this slide, and perhaps most importantly, the blockbuster Quinn Hughes trade to the Minnesota Wild over the weekend, the fanbase has been given a […]
