As everyone in the hockey world knows, Connor Bedard ‘s entry-level contract expires after the current season. Bedard could have signed an extension on July 1, when the final NHL year of his current contract began. But he hasn’t. Yet.
He, like Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson, has consistently said there is no rush to get a deal done. They’re both in agreement that he’ll be a Blackhawk for a long time. So, while they’re both open to getting something done, both sides put it on the...
In the 2003 Michael Lewis book "Moneyball: The Art of Winning An Unfair Game," the Oakland A's acquired David Justice. Justice was a two-time 40-home run player who gave the Athletics what hockey men call Rings in the Room, but that's not nearly why the A's targeted the 36-year-old for the 2002 seas...
When the Oilers and Rangers met up on October 14th, Edmonton grinded out a 2-0 win on the back of a Stuart Skinner shutout. It was one of those games where the boys needed their goalie to steal one, and that’s exactly what happened. So, with New York in town for the rematch on Thursday…
Mike Maddux, the Texas Rangers’ pitching coach for the past three seasons, is leaving the Rangers to join the Anaheim Angels, per multiple reports. Maddux, who spent 15 years as a major league pitcher, became a pitching coach in 2003 with the Milwaukee Brewers, and has been a well regarded pitching coach since. Maddux joined […]
Our friend John Muir is back to talk about three hockey cards of inaugural Islanders he came across in an unlikely location. While on a hunt for Pokémon cards with his kids, John found some NHL trading cards from 1972 that captured the soon-to-be-hapless Islanders in all their haplessness. One was a depth forward who […]
Now that the bye week is here, it’s time to update you on former Jets players and how they’ve been faring with their current teams. We are covering this in three parts and will be looking at defense today having already covered the offense. We’ll move onto special teams within a few days. As ever, […]
Crease Huddles Episode Three is live with a special guest, as we discuss recent news and topics from the perspective of the fans.
Lots of questions running through my mind after a dozen games.
The first installment of our Scouting Report series checks in on Brody Lamb, Nathan Aspinall, and Malcolm Spence—three Rangers prospects off to impressive starts.
Your Oregon basketball teams both played in exhibition matches on Thursday night, let’s talk about how they did. The Men’s team was up first, heading down south to take on the Stanford Cardinal. The Ducks got out to a scorching hot start, jumping out to a 12-2 lead in just about 3 minutes of action. […]
The Philadelphia Flyers might have won the game Thursday night’s showdown against the Nashville Predators, but they did lose something incredibly important to their season. In the middle of what ended up being a one-sided affair for the final two periods (on the score line anyways, maybe not the shot total), Flyers captain Sean Couturier went down with an injury.
Couturier did not return to the game as almost immediately after he went down the tunnel, the Flyers put out an announcement th...
It’s very difficult to separate the impact of an NFL running back from his offensive line. There is only so much a running back can do if his guys fail to open holes, and just about any back can be effective if the line is good enough. It is perhaps the very first chicken and […]
Good morning, LSB. Not much out there in the way of Rangers news this morning, but today could be the last day of the 2025 season as the Blue Jays look to close out the Dodgers. Clayton Kershaw had a nice moment with family after Wednesday’s game saying goodbye to Dodger Stadium. Fangraphs has a […]
When I look ahead to the Green Bay Packers’ next opponent, sometimes it can take a bit of digging to find where the offense can attack the defense. I start by looking at the numbers. I typically start with DVOA, then just click around a while on NFL Pro. From there, I throw on the […]
Yeah, last night’s game sucked. After skating 10 games to start the regular season and the only blowouts being in the Blackhawks’ favor, there was finally a big, ugly loss to put on the board. Those are going to happen to every team every year. The Blackhawks have had more than their fair share of those the past few years.
After sleeping on it, my thoughts on the Blackhawks’ loss shifted.
Last night’s game felt a different. Rather than the “here we go again” exhausted, defeated feeli...

Even the Devil himself would be spooked by the way the Edmonton Oilers have been playing. As an October full of ghastly mistakes kept adding up for the Oilers, Halloween Eve saw them leave the candy bowl outside for the neighbourhood kids to pillage. And that’s what the New York Rangers did, taking advantage of…
I'll be honest in saying that there aren't a lot of books that I've read where the complete history of a team is both described and brought to life through pictures. For some teams, their histories would occupy volumes of books as there would be all sorts of key moments in those franchises' histories. For others, the stories would be shorter, but there still would be big moments. For a franchise like the Pittsburgh Penguins, they have reached the highest of highs and the lowest of lows in thei...

*The Flyers closed out their slate of games in the month of October last night with a matchup against the Predators, and it was a weird one. Decidedly less spirited than Tuesday’s against the Penguins, the Flyers failed to break 20 shots put on goal, but still managed to come away with a 4-1 win. Hockey is weird sometimes. [ BSH ]
*There was a lot of good coming out of that game, but there was one decidedly bad thing: Sean Couturier took a shot off the arm (friendly fire, even worse) in t...
