Oilersnation is reviving the Top 100 Edmonton Oilers of All Time list, a project originally created by the late Robin Brownlee in 2015. Mike Krushelnyski comes in at No. 40 on our updated 2025 list. He was number 23 on Brownlee’s original list. For being on the Edmonton Oilers for just four seasons, winning three Stanley Cups…
Former NHL defenseman Ty Wishart calls in from an Australian beach to talk about his globe-spanning playing career and his 21 games with the Islanders in the eventful 2010-11 season. Drafted 16th overall by the Sharks and traded to Tampa Bay in the deal for Dan Boyle, Ty Wishart got a quick education in the […]
How do you know if one NHL team is better than another? We used to thank that that was a relatively simple question. You could just look at the standings, and they’d tell you who was good and who wasn’t. That was kind of the standings page’s whole job. But that was before the league started handing out points for losing ( or did they ?), encouraging everyone to play for overtime during the regular season and basically making a team’s won-loss record all but useless on its own. And that’s in a ...
It is really easy to be a prisoner of the moment in sports and overreact to things, both positively and negatively. Not every win means you are a championship team. Not every defeat means your season is over. Hot streaks happen for below average players, cold streaks happen for great players. It is a long […]
At the NFL League Meetings this week, Jets head coach Aaron Glenn made a prediction for which player is set to break out for the Jets in 2026. This made me wonder a bit about how good Taylor’s rookie year was. To be honest, I was a bit underwhelmed by Taylor’s performance. I didn’t see […]
3 weeks to 2026 NFL Draft: Vikings talent cliffs exposed at No. 18 and below! Minnesota Vikings draft strategy, talent cliffs, WR value, secondary depth, and barren DT class take center stage on The Real Forno Show. Tyler Forness and Dave Stefano deliver sharp, consensus-backed analysis that every SKOL fan needs before the draft. In […]
When a creative attacking player joins Atlético Madrid, it can often seem a gamble. Faced with the intensity of a coach who demands that his team operates as a unit, in attack or in defence, some players withdraw, lose interest, grow frustrated. But others thrive. In the case of Ademola Lookman, it most definitely the […]
Is Brady Tkachuk leaving the Ottawa Senators? There's growing speculation of late that things are going from bad to worse in the Senators dressing room, and the chances of Tkachuk asking out is increasing by the day. There's been several rumors throughout the last couple of summers that a change of scenery could be requested by the Sens' captain, and right now, with all the drama going on within the team, it feels like the potential of this happening is closer than ever. Tkachuk's dad Keith wa...
A fifth-round pick putting up historic playoff numbers. A reclamation project finding his game at the right time. Two Rangers prospects to know heading into the OHL's second round.
You know what’s cooler than the Oilers winning three straight games? Four games. Know what’s cooler than the Oilers winning for straight games? You guessed it. Five. Five straight games. And while Thursday’s win over the Chicago Blackhawks wasn’t without its speed bumps (read: posts), Edmonton found a way to win even when things didn’t…
The Buffalo Sabres are one of the best stories of the 2025-26 NHL season. They've shattered expectations and have built a gap in the Atlantic Division, and if they get the goaltending they need in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, could certainly make some noise. The Sabres didn't do a whole hell of a lot at the trade deadline, but they could be in for quite the summer as they're quickly becoming a team free-agents will have on their radar. Expect to see some roster changes this offseason and here's t...
The Vancouver Canucks have secured the best NHL Draft lottery odds to select Gavin McKenna, and heading into this offseason, there's going to be a slew of moves made by Patrik Allvin and Jim Rutherford. The Canucks had a disastrous season in 2025-26, which was certainly capped off by Quinn Hughes being dealt to the Minnesota Wild, and the fact they weren't able to move Elias Pettersson. Hughes recently admitted the team started to crumble once they moved J.T Miller to New York, which led to th...
A loss that was actually fine, a draft positioning update, and some real questions about J.T. Miller's leadership—on the same night he was given the Mr. Ranger Award.
With just four more teams remaining in the NCAA National Tournament, the Edmonton Oilers have signed their first player from an eliminated team. On Thursday morning, the team announced that they’ve signed Owen Michaels to a one-year entry level contract which will begin next season. Michaels’ Western Michigan were recently eliminated from the NCAA National…
The Phillies signing of Adolis Garcia this offseason was met with at best a shrug and at worst rightful comparisons to former one year deal outfielders past. Garcia hadn’t been an average or above hitter since 2023 and was non-tendered by the Rangers after a 2025 campaign that saw him hit .227 with a .665 […]

Hickory and Frisco had their first games on Thursday. Hub City kicks off Friday.

Paulino Santana doubled, walked and stole a base. Yolfran Castillo […]
The Pittsburgh Penguins won't be getting one of the more intriguing collegiate forwards available this summer. Cruz Lucius, whose signing rights were acquired as part of the Jake Guentzel trade with the Carolina Hurricanes , has informed the Penguins that he won't be signing his entry-level contract with the organization. Dubas confirmed the news on the GM Show podcast Thursday, saying that Lucius and his representatives at Newport Sports made the decision shortly after the trade d...
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
Last week, we did some mock draft hopping to consolidate some of the media’s most prominent mock drafters’ selections for the Carolina Panthers. This week, we look at who those same mockers pick for the Panthers in Day 2, if they could be bothered to go that far with their mocks (looking at you, Mel […]
Hello CSR! Welcome to Brian Answers, part two of your weekly Panthers fan mailbag for everyone! We’re locked and loaded into the NFL Draft, coming soon, but this week seemed to focus more on the current state of the team! This is your weekly forum to ask your questions, whether they be Panthers related, football […]
There was bound to be a come-down at some point, what with a perfect weekend last weekend, a rousing comeback in Columbus, an impressive win over Dallas, etc. Unsurprisingly, that come-down came down (?) at the hands of the Florida Panthers, who ended the Bruins’ winning streak at four games with a 2-1 win in […]
Another fast start and a high-level performance from Sergei Bobrovksy propelled the Florida Panthers to a 2-1 victory over the Boston Bruins at Amerant Bank Arena. Mackie Samoskevich flipped on the red light for the third-straight game to open the scoring at the 4:20 mark. A.J. Greer pressured Henri Jokiharju into turning the puck over to Samoskevich, who worked his way into a shooting angle after the interception and snapped a wrister by Jeremy Swayman from the top of the left circle. ...
Keith Pelley said at his press conference on Tuesday that the next person running hockey operations in Toronto needs to be data-centric, evidence-based, and comfortable in a modern front office. Then on Wednesday, RG.org's Sergey Demidov reported that John Chayka interviewed with the Toronto Maple Leafs in February and is now considered a legitimate candidate to replace Brad Treliving. That's a name nobody was expecting. Who Is John Chayka and Why Is He Being Considered? Chayka...
