The Chicago Blackhawks bounced back into the win column on Wednesday night with a 3-0 victory against the New York Rangers at the United Center.
After a scoreless opening frame, the Blackhawks struck first with a shorthanded tally about seven minutes into the second. Louis Crevier chased down a cleared puck and powered his way to the net to finish it off.

Overview 2025 Review A successful bullpen needs a variety of not just velocity, but also arm angle, pitch selection, and pitch movement. That’s where pitchers like Kyle Backhus come into the picture. He’s a prototypical pitcher who likely would never have found success at the major league level in a pre-Moneyball era. There’s even a […]

But it’s been tough so far,” the GM said. “Don’t like the asks coming our […]

There are a lot of popular Chicago Cubs at the moment, but I think Nico Hoerner may be the most universally beloved. And as a hard-nosed, high-average, base-stealing, clubhouse-leading, Gold Glove-winning, homegrown talent coming off the best season of his career, it’s not at all difficult to see why. And that’s why, I suspect, a lot of us will be frustrated to hear the latest report from The Athletic informing us that Hoerner’s name has been brought up in trade talks this offseason.

“Oh hey, why aren’t the Braves doing anything at the Winter Meetings?” Boom! They did. As far as outlays go, this isn’t a particularly large one, and that’s because Mike Yastrzemski is a 35-year-old who nonetheless has managed decent production in a seven-year MLB career. He’s been quite consistent since debuting at age 28 in […]

The Winter Meetings, broadly speaking, were a bust. The Chicago Cubs were far from the only club that didn’t complete any deals, and even today’s massive Pete Alonso signing by the Orioles wasn’t quite enough to salvage the week.
