Latest blog entries from New York teams across every league
Finding a young player who can weather the storm that comes with playing behind the plate is a tall task for professional scouts, as it takes a strong athlete to spend a full season calling games and taking hits while also trying to provide as much offensive value as possible. Elite catchers are as valuable […]
The Dallas Cowboys head into the 2025 regular-season finale against the New York Giants with 20 players set to hit free agency after the completion of the game. This we know. But, what we don’t know is which players could be joining them who are still under contract that may no longer be in the […]
Just a week ago, the Sixers were 16-11 and trending up in the standings. Joel Embiid dropped 39 points in a win over the Indiana Pacers, the most he’d scored since a Game 6 loss against the New York Knicks back in 2024. Paul George recorded a Sixers-high 35 points in a tight road loss […]
The Chicago Blackhawks close out the 2025 calendar year on home ice Tuesday night, hosting the New York Islanders as they look to finish the year on a stronger note. The Islanders come into this one sitting third in the Metropolitan Division by points percentage (.590), a spot that looks solid on paper but hardly comfortable in practice thanks to a crowded playoff picture. The Florida Panthers and Buffalo Sabres are right on their heels — the latter of which is on a nine-game winning stea...
Ahead of the Leafs vs. Devils matchup on Tuesday, New Jersey head coach Sheldon Keefe discussed Auston Matthews’ goal-scoring greatness, his team’s offensive success in the second period against the Leafs on Oct. 21, and the Devils losing three in a row since the return of Jack Hughes and Timo Meier from injury. Auston Matthews […] The post Sheldon Keefe on Auston Matthews closing in on the Leafs’ franchise record in goals: “It is his rightful place” appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
Leafs dropping like, um, leaves.
Having the same coach for a long time means you take the good and the bad for granted. In the case of Tom Thibodeau, it meant two things in particular. First, the Knicks would come out playing their hardest every single night. No question. The guys out there on the floor would give it their […]
The Jets are playing at this point for little beyond position in the 2026 NFL Draft. With the Falcons’ win over the Rams on Monday Night Football, the dream of the Jets landing the top pick has officially ended. The Jets currently sit third behind the Raiders and the Giants. At 2-14, the Raiders are […]
Good morning, Devils fans. The World Juniors Championships are well underway, and it’s time for a new thread of games. Check below for the times and the standings. Please note that this will be the end of the group stage, and the playoffs will begin on January 2, running through January 5. December 30 Group […]
As the 20th century entered its final decade, the Yankees were truly reaching a nadir in their franchise history. Yankee Stadium marking a full decade since its last taste of postseason baseball by the fall of 1991, owner George Steinbrenner turning over managers and GM’s faster than a sick person goes through a box of […]
With 2026 fast approaching, I looked at several Wisconsin Badgers sports squads and came up with a resolution that makes sense for each of them. (Sorry, “Winning a Natty” is a bit too on the nose for this exercise.) Here’s to a robust early Happy New Year to Badgers everywhere, and to big things in 2026 for all […]
In case you haven’t heard, the 2026 Mets will look very different from the teams we’ve rooted for over the past several years. The four longest-tenured Mets—Brandon Nimmo, Jeff McNeil, Pete Alonso, and Edwin Díaz—are all gone, having either been jettisoned from the team or allowed to walk away. The breaking up of this core […]
Here is a look at how the Las Vegas Raiders’ rookie class fared in a 34-10 home loss to the New York Giants on Sunday and looking ahead to Week 18’s season finale at home game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Ashton Jeanty: A week after one of his best games on the ground, the […]
As another year is about to end, we take a look at the prospect pool and dish out some mid-season awards. Best Breakout Season — Gustav Hillstrom The breakout star in the Devils pool this season out of the gate has been Gustav Hillstrom, and while difficulties cracking and earning quality minutes in the SHL […]
For all intents and purposes, the Dallas Cowboys’ 2025 season is over. While the Cowboys still have one game left to play against the New York Giants on Sunday, the game has no real meaning and will only impact both teams’ draft position. Both the Cowboys and Giants would benefit more from losing Sunday’s game […]
The sound of Edwin Díaz’s signature trumpets signaled more than a dramatic entrance from the bullpen; they were the overture to a serialized adventure story, the theme song to a Mets career which, from its first moment to its last, proved boundlessly entertaining and unpredictable. It began with one of the most instantly panned trades […]
The New York Yankees tied for the best record in the AL East last year, losing out on a division title (and postseason bye) via the tiebreaker with the Toronto Blue Jays. What this should tell you is that the Yankees had a decent enough team, albeit one that had a number of players potentially […]
Igor Shesterkin dragged the Rangers to overtime, but once they got there, the lack of talent and offense was impossible to hide.
Meet the Mets Anthony DiComo sees Sean Manaea as a likely bounce back candidate for the 2026 Mets. Abbey Mastracco talked about how the Mets can start to change their offseason. With an offseason of massive changes already in full swing, Danny Abriano reassessed the team’s targets and key priorities heading into 2026. On his […]
The Sixers have had their fair share of tough opponents this month. They’ve picked up some solid wins, including victories over the Warriors and Knicks, yet they’re now sitting on a three-game losing streak after their latest loss to the juggernaut that is the Oklahoma City Thunder following a valiant effort in the first half. […]
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
MLB History 1926 – The Chicago Tribune releases a story stating that the Detroit Tigers threw a four-game series against the Chicago White Sox in 1917 to help Chicago win the pennant. Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis responds by holding a hearing on the matter, but dismisses all charges as he can find no witnesses to […]
On Sunday Aaron Glenn blasted the Jets for lack of effort. On Monday he said effort wasn’t a problem, it was a schematic thing. Every time this man opens his mouth his credibility drops to a new low. Just keep chopping up your big ship while turning your instant coffee into wood. The man has […]
It was another MVP like performance for Drake Maye on Sunday as the quarterback left New York completing 19-of-21 passes for 256 yards and five touchdowns in a 42-10 dismantling of the Jets. While it’s worthwhile to point out the quality of opponent, Maye continued to etch his name in record books as he posted […]
The Islanders wake up still in second place in the Metro after the Capitals lost in regulation to Florida last night. They are in Chicago to try to rebound from the loss in Columbus and build some cushion in the ever-close Eastern standings — where Buffalo is now two points behind. After a promising but […]
