The Toronto Maple Leafs missed out on one of their top candidates for their new front office when analytics guru Sunny Mehta was snapped up by the New Jersey Devils. But there is no shortage of other candidates, as reported by insider Elliotte Friedman. He tells us there is a list of seven—that he knows of—that have already spoken with MLSE CEO Keith Pelley and the Leafs organization: Ryan Bowness, 42, Islanders Assistant General Manager and Director of Player Personnel...
The Minnesotan will stay in Winnipeg after signing last summer as a UFA.
For those at Edmonton Oilers practice on Friday, they saw Leon Draisaitl making strides and looking like his usual self. An extra day before starting Game 1 against the Anaheim Ducks on Monday gives the Oilers group extra time to get some crucial pieces back in their lineup. Draisaitl skated on a regular line with…
The 6-seeded Atlanta Hawks (0-0) try to steal Game 1 just like they did five years ago tonight in the Garden. Jock Landale (ankle sprain) has been ruled out. Starting lineup: Please join in the comments below as you follow along. Where, When, and How to Watch and Listen Location: Madison Square Garden, Manhattan, New York, […]
The day has finally arrived! After three long days off, the Flyers are back in action and set to kick off their first bit of playoff action in six years tonight in Pittsburgh. It’s the next installment of this series between bitter rivals, and a big test for this young Flyers team. The trial by fire is before them, and we’ll see how they fare in it. Puck drop: 8:00 p.m. How to watch/listen: 📺: NBCSP/ESPN+ 📻: 97.5 The Fanatic Pregame reading As they get into this matchup, the...
Eight first-round matchups, five Banter writers, zero consensus. Here are the Blueshirt Banter staff's predictions for first round of the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Texas Rangers lineup for April 18, 2026 against the Seattle Mariners: starting pitchers are Nathan Eovaldi for the Rangers and George Kirby for the Mariners. The Rangers look to make it two in a row against the Mariners and three in a row overall. Josh Smith gets a day off. The lineup: Nimmo — RF […]
Goaltender Roberto (“Leo”) Henriquez has committed to Boston College for the 2026-27 season, according to reports by the BC Hockey Blog and Nathan Strauss Henriquez was previously committed to UNH but flipped his commitment following a stellar season with the Green Bay Gamblers in the USHL. Henriquez posted a league leading .921 save percentage and […]
Chicago Blackhawks forward Ilya Mikheyev will be a player to watch now that the offseason is here for the Original Six club. The 31-year-old forward is a pending unrestricted free agent (UFA), and it will be interesting to see if the Blackhawks extend him. He has been a very good addition for them, but it would also make sense if he tested the market after his strong season. In 77 games this season, he had 18 goals and a career-high 36 points. If Mikheyev ends up becoming a UFA this year, look...
We might as well preview each series as they come, and we need a gamethread. Why not both? Carolina vs. Ottawa – Fraudwatch East The Sens were the ones who got the final ticket to ride in the East, and must now face the Carolina Hurricanes in the first round. Truly, to two nicer teams, […]
The Vancouver Canucks will be a team to watch very closely during the offseason. With the Canucks in the middle of a rebuild and finishing this season as the NHL's worst team, it is very possible that they will move on from more of their players during the offseason. The Jets, meanwhile, should be looking to add to their roster after underperforming this campaign and missing the playoffs in the weak Western Conference. One of their biggest needs is a top-six winger, as they have never found a ...
The Detroit Red Wings are entering the summer with multiple pending free agents. One of them is veteran forward James van Riemsdyk. The 36-year-old winger proved to be a solid depth addition for the Red Wings this season, as he had 15 goals and 31 points in 72 games. Yet, with the Red Wings missing the playoffs, they could look to make changes and move on from van Riemsdyk. If the 2007 second-overall pick becomes an unrestricted free agent (UFA), these three teams could look to sign him. ...
We usually do a phase-by-phase preview, but since we had to wait till game 82 to figure out Colorado’s first-round matchup, we decided to do all three phases of this glorious game and matchup in one fell swoop. For starters, this matchup definitely has David vs. Goliath vibes, but LA looks like a better team […]
With the start of the Edmonton Oilers’ postseason just around the corner, one of the biggest questions surrounding the team is what the lineup will look like once the puck drops for Game 1 on April 20. That said, Tony Brar released some line combinations from practice on Friday. Of course, nothing is set in…
Murats Ates shared his insight on the Jets in this chat with Hustler.
The Stanley Cup Playoffs are here, which once again means it’s time for us Blackhawks to watch everyone else enjoy the experience of postseason hockey! Hooray. Anyway, we’ll continue our trends of posting two playoff game threads a week: one on Monday that covers the games through Thursday, and one on Friday for the weekend games. Our predictions for the opening round are in this article and feel free to add your own in the comments of that article. There’s also time to join the...
The Swedish prospect is heading "home" as he spent a few years living in Columbus.
Welcome to the NBA playoffs. It is that time of year again, when teams chase the one main thing that they have built for all year. The NBA Championship! Some teams make it all the way to the end. Be it a dark horse or those expected to be there. At times, the team expected […]
On the surface, it appears that for most NHL teams, their starting lineups are set in stone for the playoffs. There isn't much room for players to step in and out of the lineup, and for the most part, if you’re a regular and you're somewhat healthy, you’re in. But come playoff time, located deep in...
Whenever the Islanders miss the postseason (which is a lot), on one level I’m able to enjoy the spectacle and intensity of the Stanley Cup playoffs in a different way, free of the exhausting emotional investment and baggage that comes with talking yourself into how they might go far while watching them ultimately get eliminated. […]
As has been well established, the Flyers have drastically less playoff experience collectively than their state rivals in the Penguins. However, Philadelphia have younger players, ideally with much more gas in the tank as each game progresses than the likes of Sidney Crosby, Kris Letang, and Evgeni Malkin. On the other hand, Philadelphia head coach Rick Tocchet said that youngsters like Porter Martone, Trevor Zegras, Matvei Michkov, and Denver Barkey have to realize the playoffs are a slightly...
Can you predict the next Stanley Cup champion?
As we await the Battle of Pennsylvania this weekend, it’s time for another preview of the series with a look at the teams’ defensive cores, and see who has the edge on the defensive side of the ice. The Top Guys: Erik Karlsson vs. Travis Sanheim After the 2024-25 season in which everyone kinda thought he was cooked, it turns out Erik Karlsson still has something left in the tank. Karlsson had a massive return to form this season, which was downright shocking for the 35-ye...
