Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
The art of the free throw is something that should not be complicated. After all, they’re free for a reason. The Knicks are, by and large, a great free-throw shooting team. Jalen Brunson shoots 85%, Karl-Anthony Towns shoots 88%, Jordan Clarkson shoots 83%. Josh Hart, Mikal Bridges, Landry Shamet, and Deuce McBride all shoot above […]

It’s been the closest thing we’ve had to playoff basketball in Toronto for a little while, as the Toronto Raptors played in their very first NBA Cup knockout game Tuesday night against the Knicks. Winner moves on to play the Orlando Magic in Las Vegas next weekend, losers head to Miami for a regular schmegular […]
Tonight, the New York Knicks (17-7) appeared at Scotiabank Arena to face the Toronto Raptors (15-11) for the knockout round of the NBA Cup tourney. Both teams stumbled early, and although the visitors shot efficiently through the first quarter (a season-high 20 points for Jalen Brunson), six turnovers allowed Toronto to take a 39–35 lead […]
The Islanders overcame a 2-0 deficit, killed off a 4-on-3 penalty in overtime, and bounced back from a few setbacks to earn two points in a 5-4 shootout win over the Vegas Golden Knights. For a run of schedule that we thought might be disastrous, the Isles took two points from the Avalanche, Lightning (twice) […]
You know the drill by now: The New Jersey Devils lack depth scoring. It was a huge issue last season, and it has been a huge issue this season. Especially during the Devils’ five-game losing streak that they took into Ottawa this evening. Well wouldn’t you know it, depth scoring played a massive role tonight, […]
On December 8th in 1987, Philadelphia Flyers netminder Ron Hextall fired a puck the length of the ice into an empty Boston Bruins net becoming the first goalie to score a goal in a NHL game. Though New York Islanders backstop Billy Smith had been credited with a goal eight years earlier, it was Colorado Rockies defenceman Rob Ramage who in fact last touched the puck. Thus, Hextall was the
The Long Island Nets tipped off at 11:00 a.m. ET in front of 5,700 fans for “Education Day,” traditionally their biggest crowd of the season. Alas, they weren’t able to bring home the win, losing 114-107 in overtime. Nolan Traore continued his string of positive performances with another very good all-around game today that fans […]
I have to confess that the first game I was unable to watch in a very long time was this past Sunday’s between our Miami Dolphins and the New York Jets, as I was traveling. I was able to watch the highlights later that night, and if they was any indication of how things actually […]
The Knicks head to Toronto tonight for an Emirates Cup quarterfinal with a trip to Las Vegas on the line.

The Knicks will […]
The Mets are open to trading left-handed starting pitcher David Peterson, per Will Sammon and Tim Britton of The Athletic, should a deal similar to their Brandon Nimmo trade materialize. Peterson is coming off a 2025 season that saw him reach a career high in innings pitched with 168.2 but struggled down the stretch, finishing […]
Major League Baseball held its draft lottery at the Winter Meetings today, and the Mets’ first pick will be the 27th overall pick in the draft.

After rumors of the Mets, Pirates, Orioles, and Reds’ interest came and went, Kyle Schwarber re-signed with the Phillies on a five year, $150 million contract. This can’t really be considered a shock, as Schwarber had the best years of his career while playing in Philadelphia and the Phillies made it clear that bringing Schwarber […]
For the fourth season now, MLB has staged its draft lottery at the Winter Meetings, this year in Orlando, Florida.
