After taking a disappointing loss in overtime on the road in Game 2, the Flyers are back on home ice tonight for the first time in this series, and looking to break out for their first win against the Hurricanes. They’ve been getting things moving in the right direction, but this task is going to be easier said than done, and desperate times are beginning to arrive, as the Flyers look to avoid falling all the way down to 0-3 in the series.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have had themselves quite the week. From a cringe-worthy press conference, to Auston Matthews wanting out, to then winning the NHL Draft Lottery, Leafs Nation has been through the ringer this week. While TSN's Chris Johnston has been the only one to report the fact Matthews is 'unsure' if he'll return to the Maple Leafs next season, it turns out some other reporters have been able to track down a completely different narrative. According to David Pagnotta, who was co-ho...
It has been a big week for the Colorado Avalanche during their three-day break before continuing their second round playoff series against Minnesota on Saturday. Accolades have been rolling in as the NHL continue their announcements of the three finalists for their voted awards. First, a bit of a surprise as Brock Nelson was nominated […]
The good vibes surrounding the Minnesota Wild’s first-round triumph over the Dallas Stars have largely dissipated after dropping the first two games to the Colorado Avalanche in Round 2. A Minnesota team that seemed to have broken onto the scene as a true contender is now left asking questions about...
Few players are more polarizing across the hockey world than Edmonton Oilers‘ defenceman Evan Bouchard. The offensive D-man dazzles fans with slick passes and ‘Bouch Bombs’ from the point, but also makes them pull their hair out with the occasional cartoonish blunder. When the NHL announced its nominees for the 2025-26 James Norris Memorial Trophy…
After two contests in New York, one that was over by the third quarter and one that came down to the final minutes, the Philadelphia 76ers trail the Knicks in their Eastern Conference Semifinals series, 2-0. Joel Embiid missed Game 2 with hip and ankle injuries and his status remains up in the air moving […]
It was a shock around the hockey world when the Vegas Golden Knights fired head coach Bruce Cassidy with eight games left in the regular season last month. Make no mistake, Cassidy will be able to pick and choose his next job behind a bench in the NHL, as there will be no shortage of teams interested in bringing him in. One of those teams, a club where there are serious questions being asked about their current bench boss, is the Edmonton Oilers. After a first-round flameout t...
The yet-unnamed PWHL Detroit franchise will be the league's ninth team and will begin play next season, continuing league expansion.
The Texas Rangers scored twice but the New York Yankees scored nine runs. No team in the American League is very good right now except for the team the Rangers have played like six times in the last two weeks, which happens to be the team they played today. The Rangers won two of those […]
The Rally Towel. Fans at Grand Casino Arena are greeted with a gratis prop that they can wave throughout the game. It's a storied tradition in many sports, as recounted on a Wikipedia page I'm not going to summarize. Just know, if you go to a playoff game, you're gonna get a towel, and it's gonna ha...
The Edmonton Oilers had a disappointing season in 2025-26, falling well short of expectations in both the regular season and the playoffs. Whether it was fatigue, injuries, goaltending, or coaching, they never got everything clicking at the same time. That’s not to say there weren’t any players who made strides, however, as a few players…
For some, it comes as a surprise that Evan Bouchard wasn’t nominated for the Norris Trophy. For others, it’s completely understandable. Over the past season, the defenceman made a case for himself to receive a nomination and it turned into quite the debate and conversation in the later stages of the NHL season. Pundits and…
Another Edmonton Oiler will be representing their country at the upcoming IIHF World Championships. Isaac Howard is suiting up with the United States as the nation selected a younger roster with little overlap to the national Olympic team that won the gold medal in February. He’s the fifth Edmonton Oiler heading to Switzerland. Recently snubbed…
With almost two months to go until the Draft, there is still plenty of time to get familiar with the top prospects in this class.
Jasson DomÃnguez exited today’s game against the Rangers after a scary collision with the left field wall. Brandon Nimmo, Texas’ leadoff hitter, sent a line drive to left, which DomÃnguez caught before ramming into the wall. DomÃnguez immediately went to the ground and Aaron Boone and the team’s trainers quickly ran to the outfield. The left fielder was […]
The Philadelphia Flyers are just hours away from hosting their first second-round playoff game since 2012 and we have good what looks to be a brand-new lineup for Game 3 against the Carolina Hurricanes.
With Noah Cates suffering a series-ending injury , head coach Rick Tocchet was forced to make some major changes to his lineup. The 27-year-old center was a key part of what worked down the middle and since this team is already lacking some firepower at center — especially considering Cate...
Following Barcelona’s exit from the Champions League this season, one thing has become absolutely clear. Barcelona really need an elite center-back. Inigo Martinez has been missed, Barca’s defence exposed multiple times and none of Ronaldo Araujo, Eric Garcia nor Gerard Martin have solved that issue. Alessandro Bastoni seems to be the top target but one […]

With playoffs in progress for some leagues and ending for other leagues, this is clearly one of the busiest times of the year in the hockey world. The NHL Draft Lottery just saw Toronto claim the top pick, there was a new expansion team announced in the PWHL, there will be a new name and logo for the AHL team in Hamilton announced soon, and there are stories from around the globe that should be examined. I'm not doing any of that tonight, though, because my life has been busy enough with the i...
Despite a regular season that saw him lead all defencemen in scoring by 14 points, Evan Bouchard’s tremendous 2025-26 season won’t earn him a Norris Trophy. The Edmonton Oilers defenceman was not named among the three finalists named for the award Thursday morning. Instead, Colorado Avalanche defenceman Cale Makar, Columbus Blue Jackets defenceman Zach Werenski,…

The Miami Hurricanes and Notre Dame Fighting Irish were can’t-miss television last year. And with the drama that went down last college football season and the way both teams’ respective seasons ended, it will be again when the teams meet in 2026. As such, it’s no surprise that the Hurricanes and Irish will meet in […]
