The Western Conference Final will get underway in Game One between the Vegas Golden Knights and Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday. The post Game Thread: Golden Knights get going against the Avalanche appeared first on Hockey Mountain High .
The weather changed throughout Wednesday afternoon at Coors Field, and the game kept moving with it. One day after being shut out in a 10-0 loss to the Texas Rangers, the Colorado Rockies gave themselves a chance to take the series. They grabbed an early lead, lost it when Texas went back-to-back in the fourth, […]
Panthers News: Legette Faces Uphill Battle for Relevance in Carolina’s Receiver Room Xavier Legette’s path to a meaningful role with the Carolina Panthers is narrowing, not widening, heading into the 2026 NFL season. The Panthers selected Legette 32nd overall in the 2024 NFL Draft, making him the final pick of the first round that year [...]
Three Edmonton Oilers players were in action on Wednesday at the IIHF World Championships, and all three recorded at least one point. After all, five Oilers players were off on Tuesday, and three players returned to action on Wednesday afternoon. Isaac Howard’s USA took on Josh Samanski’s Germany, while Mattias Ekholm’s Sweden took on Slovenia….
The Texas Rangers scored five runs but the Colorado Rockies scored four runs. In a very the-Rangers-are-quite-strange kind of way, the club almost lost a second consecutive series to a league-worst team despite outscoring them. The Rangers have outscored their opponents 30-17 on their current road trip, but were a couple of outs away from […]
The Vegas Golden Knights press conference with interim coach John Tortorella and general manager Kelly McCrimmon reminds me of the Worldwide Privacy Tour episode of South Park. “We want privacy! We want privacy!” creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker put into the mouths of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. It was the phrase in the…
I don't like any of them...well, maybe one...
The Texas Rangers activated pitcher Luis Curvelo from the 15 day injured list and optioned him to AAA Round Rock, the team announced today. Curvelo started the season in the minors, but was called up a little over a week into the season to join the Rangers’ bullpen. He was placed on the injured list […]
Good morning, everyone. With the first round just about completed (there is one game to be played as of this writing), it is time to make an update to our Stanley Cup Playoffs Open Post. You can see the original post here, but let’s dive into the new matchups. The Schedule: You can see the NHL’s schedule […]
The Philadelphia Flyers are among the teams looking to upgrade their goaltending situation this summer. While career backup Dan Vladar provided more than they could have hoped for in a starting role this season, Samuel Ersson left plenty to be desired as his understudy. Philly is looking for a new tandem partner for Vladar. While the Flyers are open to locking up Vladar if the price is right (he has one year remaining on his deal and is eligible for an extension July 1), they are fully a...
As the PWHL announces it is expanding to San Jose, the league says 'we have the foundation to establish a lasting and impactful new home.'
The Edmonton Oilers would like to interview Bruce Cassidy for their vacant head coaching job, but as of today Vegas hasn’t given them permission. GM Kelly McCrimmon read a statement yesterday that said, “Teams have asked for permission to speak with Bruce Cassidy and we have been consistent that our focus currently is on the…
When the New York Rangers decided it was time to move on from their captain, Jacob Trouba, midway through the 2024-25 season, it was the Anaheim Ducks' gain. Adding a veteran leader with a punishing physical presence to their blueline turned out to be the next step in the team launching itself out of its rebuild and into serious playoff contention. But after a year and a half there, Trouba is now an unrestricted free agent. He's coming off an $8 million AAV over the past seven years, and...

After last night’s damp, cold, and miserable blowout loss, the Colorado Rockies find themselves tied at a game each in their series with the Texas Rangers. Today, with the weather slightly warmer and slightly sunnier—though there is a chance for rain—the Rockies will aim for the series win. However, no dogs will be in attendance. […]
While the first two positions in this draft are, for the most part, largely agreed upon, things start to open up from this third position onward. At the third position, the draft board shifts to check in with the most highly-touted defenseman in this class, in Chase Reid. Coming off of an over point-per-game season with the Soo Greyhounds of the OHL, Reid brings close to a full package in size and puck-moving ability, making him an attractive option to any team picking at the top of this ...
The Edmonton Oilers have backed themselves into a corner in their hunt for a new head coach, and in order to get their No. 1 guy, they need a division rival to play ball. There’s no indication that there’s any sense of urgency for the Vegas Golden Knights to give the Oilers permission to speak…
Barcelona are set to have Marcus Rashford, Frenkie de Jong and Ferran Torres all available for their final game of the season on Saturday night against Valencia. All three were in training on Wednesday as Hansi Flick’s side began preparations for the game at Mestalla. De Jong and Torres both missed the win over Real […]
All throughout this summer we will be conjuring up some hypotheses of how exactly the Philadelphia Flyers might look on the ice next season. Will they be going super young and trading away some veterans? Will they add a more experienced presence down the middle or on the blue line to try and feel more secure about making the playoffs again? What about the backup goaltender? To ask all of these questions and try to come up with answers, sometimes we have to know the rules. Those pesky litt...
After a rookie season where Bronny James primarily rode the bench, his sophomore campaign was much more positive. He didn’t have any huge scoring nights, but he continued to develop as an on-ball initiator and a solid defender. Late into the regular season, when the Lakers’ backcourt was depleted with Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves […]
It's Bruce Cassidy's 61st birthday today. But he's no closer to being gifted a new job in the NHL. It was leaked last week that the Vegas Golden Knights denied the Edmonton Oilers permission to speak with their fired head coach (who is still under contract) for Edmonton's vacancy behind the bench. Now it's being confirmed by insider Andy Strickland on the Cam & Strick podcast that the Golden Knights also denied the Los Angeles Kings permission to talk to Cassidy. Is Vegas being pet...
The Carolina Hurricanes returned to the ice for practice this morning and everyone available attended. The lines were unchanged as well as the defensive pairings. K’Andre Miller stayed on the second powerplay unit replacing Alexander Nikishin like he did in the Philadelphia series. The rookie had performed very well there during the regular season but […]
The Colorado Avalanche and Vegas Golden Knights are ready to get the Western Conference Final started tonight at Ball Arena in Downtown Denver! The Golden Knights represent the Pacific Division after series victories over the Utah Mammoth and Anaheim Ducks. The Avalanche have lost just one game so far these playoffs after sweeping the LA […]
Texas Rangers lineup for May 20, 2026 against the Colorado Rockies: starting pitchers are Jack Leiter for the Rangers and Kyle Freeland for the Rockies. The Rangers take on the Rockies in an afternoon rubber match for their three game series. They are facing Kyle Freeland. On the one hand, Freeland has been bad this […]
