For all the talk of Dombrowski running the team back, there are a few significant players and faces who made up the 2022-25 run, now gone. Ranger Suárez signed a five-year deal with Boston, Nick Castellanos is trying to prove himself in San Diego, and Matt Strahm returned to the city that started his career […]
On Wednesday, the Tampa Bay Lightning held a practice. At this time of year, that’s a pretty rare thing. With the amount of games they’ve played recently, rest is paramount to a team’s success. However, there is always a need to refine aspects of their game, something that can only be done in a controlled environment like practice. Not everyone participated, however. The lines we saw at today’s #GoBolts practice: Guentzel-Point-Kucherov Goncalves-Cirelli-Bjorkstrand Girgensons-Gourde-H...
While the Virginia Tech men’s basketball team appears to be hemorrhaging talent, Megan Duffy and the women’s team are getting a jumpstart on next season. On Wednesday, Talia Goodman of On3 revealed that the Hokies had landed a commitment from 6-foot-2 forward Alyssa Latham. Latham, a native of Glenwood, Illinois, was a four-star recruit out […]
The bottom third of the Kansas City lineup has taken care of business for the second consecutive game, but in much more spectacular fashion tonight. Scoring started in the second with two out and no one on when Jac Caglianone hit a 110.1 mph rocket to center for a double. Collins hit the next ball […]
Last night in Houston, the Knicks (49*-28) lost their third straight game, all on the road. It was possibly the least entertaining game we’ve watched all season, and New York played out of sync all night. Tonight, in the second of a back-to-back, they had a prime opportunity to regain their confidence against a Grizzlies […]
Bill Self announced Wednesday afternoon that he will return for another season as head coach of the Kansas Jayhawks. There have been questions about whether Self would retire after he mentioned that he would be discussing his coaching future with his family due to concerns over health-related issues in recent years. Self’s announcement is big […]
A pitcher with such a glaringly high walk rate as Gavin Williams had last season and in his first start is someone who’s playing with fire—while that may eventually prove costly, one only gets to that point if they have the quality stuff to back it up, and that showed as the Guardians beat the […]
The Virginia Tech Hokies finally have depth and upside at the quarterback position. After seemingly years of uncertainty about the game’s most important position, new head coach James Franklin attacked the position hard this offseason. Presumed starter Ethan Grunkemeyer started seven games for Penn State last season and was one of the most prized players […]
Italy’s absence from the 2026 World Cup has me feeling depressed. Not because the Azzurri deserve to be there (they don’t), but because it is a confirmation of just how far one of world football’s giants has fallen. Three straight failures to qualify have now pushed the Azzurri into territory no former champion has ever […]
The Celtics scored 53 first quarter points in route to a 147-129 point win over the rival Miami Heat. It was a night that included a 43 point game from Jaylen Brown, a triple-double from Jayson Tatum and 15 point and 10 rebound game from Neemias Queta. The Celtics had everyone available, outside of Nikola […]
In what might just be the Milwaukee Bucks’ best game of the season, they go down to the Houston Rockets 119-113 with just seven players for most of the night (and all of the senior players sitting). Ousmane Dieng announced himself on the NBA stage, leading the Bucks with 36 points, 10 assists, and seven […]

Last month, the NFL announced which teams would receive compensatory draft picks in 2026, and the Chicago Bears were not among them. That should have finally closed the door on any hope that the franchise had that they’d be awarded picks for losing Assistant General Manager Ian Cunningham to the Atlanta Falcons, who hired him […]

He’s being held on a Civil Investigative Demand with the Cross County sheriff’s department. Clarke is being charged with trafficking an unidentified controlled substance, […]
Clemson’s nightmare March was so exciting, the Tigers decided to carry it over into April. This wasn’t so much a game as an 1980s horror movie, with Clemson playing the role of the hapless victim running up the stairs instead of out the front door to safety. The game was so terrible that Clemson’s official […]

On today’s podcast, I talked about the Oilers‘ trades at the deadline, the first few games for our new friends, a tough luck run of…

There are a lot of names to keep an eye on when the transfer portal opens on April 7th. Kentucky Basketball will likely have a roster filled with mostly transfers next season, which is fine. That’s how Mark Pope’s first roster at Kentucky was built, and it got the Cats to the Sweet 16. Another […]
The Washington Wizards got demolished by the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday in a 153-131 contest at Capital One Arena. The Wizards had some scoring fun in a defense-optional first half. Tristan Vukcevic got hot with 10 early points to pace Washington, but Paul George turned back the clock with 14 of his own as the […]
After Wednesday’s practice, head coach Craig Berube discussed Keith Pelley’s press conference and his uncertain future with the Maple Leafs. Keith Pelley said that the decision on your future will be made by the new guys in charge. How do you deal with the uncertainty, not knowing what your future will look like? Berube: I […] The post Craig Berube on Keith Pelley: “He knows what he is doing… He knows how to build things” appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
