Oregon Ducks Football: Offensive Line Comparison vs Portland State 2026

Author’s note: A full transcript of the video is available at this link. The deep rotation of offensive linemen allowed us to take a look at how different offensive linemen performed against a single control group (Portland State’s 2-deep played the entire game). I graded every snap and compiled results to see if the choices […]

Flyers feel ‘lucky’ to have Joseph Woll after he saved them from a nightmare

It feels weird to say after the Philadelphia Flyers just played back-to-back games to start the season where they looked like they had their feet lodged in cinderblocks and thrown into the Delaware, scrambling to try and swim to the surface as they keep on sinking towards the bottom, their lungs filling with water — but it could have been just so much worse. After suffering the incredibly embarrassing result of losing 7-0 in your season opener to your archrival, the Flyers were looking to...

Report: Maple Leafs tried to flip Miles Wood following Marchenko trade

It’s starting to sound like Miles Wood isn’t in the Toronto Maple Leafs long-term plans. According to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, Maple Leafs general manager John Chayka was trying to flip Wood, shortly after finalizing a seven-piece blockbuster with the Columbus Blue Jackets, which saw Wood, along with Kirill Marchenko and Elvis Merzlikins head to Toronto….

Friday morning Rangers things

Good morning, LSB. Evan Grant plays the blame game and discusses how much Ray Davis deserves for the Rangers’ failed season. AJ Pierzynski is the latest guest on Grant’s podcast. And MLB Pipeline names a sleeper prospect for each club’s Arizona Fall League team. And that’s about all there is this morning. Welcome to the […]

Igor Shesterkin Caught His White Whale And Scored A Goalie Goal

The thing about all goalie goals is that they rock. There are roughly 175 feet and six prideful skaters between the promised land and any netminder bold enough to even attempt to reach it. There have been but 21 goalie goals, scored by 18 different goalies, in the entire history of the NHL. The thing about Thursday night's goalie goal, specifically, is that no goalie since Ron Hextall has ever so clearly wanted it more than Igor Shesterkin. He is also exceedingly deserving. He is in that cl...

Hello, and say hello

Ahoy. If it’s been a minute, let me be the first to tell you it’s gonna be a good season. Chris Patrick, not related to Chris Kirkpatrick as I’ve been repeatedly told, went bananas over the summer, loading up on great players like Alex Tuch and Jordan Kyrou. Alex Ovechkin re-signed for (at least) one

“Probably the easiest thing you could do is flip Nylander and Sissons” — Anthony Petrielli talks the Maple Leafs’ middle-six forward mix on SN590

Anthony Petrielli joined Sportsnet 590 to discuss Easton Cowan’s strong start, potential tweaks to the Leafs’ forward lines, the early chemistry between Auston Matthews and Kirill Marchenko, and the situation on the blue line. Petrielli on Easton Cowan’s strong start to the season: I’m not surprised at all. Everyone would be forgiven for not watching […] The post “Probably the easiest thing you could do is flip Nylander and Sissons” — Anthony Petrielli talks the Maple Leafs’ middle-six forwa...

Lightning Morning News: Rusty Bolts

Lightning News Last night was a rough game to begin the new season. The New York Rangers scored early and often in the season opener for the Tampa Bay Lightning in New York City. It wasn’t all bad, but certainly no fun, and even included an empty-net goalie goal for Igor Shesterkin in the Rangers 5-1 beat down of the Lightning. Gross. [ Raw Charge ] Things were a little more positive on the New York side as the mood has definitely improved following their 3-0 loss against Boston earl...

Bears yield get-right opportunity for two key young Jets players

Without a doubt, the most disappointing aspect of the New York Jets’ Week 3 loss to the Detroit Lions was the pass protection. After a Weeks 1-2 stretch in which they had a case to be the best pass-blocking unit in the NFL, the Jets’ offensive line collapsed in Week 3. Geno Smith was sacked ...

The Day After 2.0: Oilers Jekyll-and-Hyde their way to win over Canucks

If you were boxscore-watching Thursday night’s game between the Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks, you wouldn’t be able to tell that Alberta’s team was short four members of their top-six. In fact, you wouldn’t think they were missing any players, because on a night when the Oilers score nine goals, one would think Ryan Nugent-Hopkins…
