The Philadelphia Flyers are in the playoffs — we cannot say it enough. This team that everyone counted out and assumed that they would’ve just finish somewhere out of the playoffs but not as terrible as the other teams to get some blue chip prospect out of it; defied those expectations and went on a dramatic, emotional, and thrilling run to eventually punching their ticket in the penultimate game of their season.
Now, it’s just the actual “playing in a series” thing that is left and it fe...
The NBA is expected to review the LaMelo Ball tripping incident from Tuesday’s 127-126 play-in victory, which sidelined Bam Adebayo with a back injury after he played just six minutes, NBA insider Chris Haynes first reported Wednesday.

This is the end, my friends. Game 82 of 82.
There’s not much stage-setting to be done here, we all know the deal. This game is so revolting that sometime in the last 10 days the TNT execs pulled the plug on airing it, and are picking up Buffalo vs. Dallas instead. In a different world, this could be a win-and-in scenario for the Red Wings, but they read the tea leaves early and bailed.
Beyond that, they’re passing up the opportunity to spend an entire broadcast talking about the Flor...
It was just a few weeks ago that there were talks about Rick Bowness potentially being a coach of the year candidate for the job he did in taking over the Columbus Blue Jackets mid-season and pulling them up from the bottom of the standings into second place in the Metropolitan Division at one point last month. But needless to say, things have imploded. A 2-7-1 late-season collapse, including six straight losses on home ice, left them well back of a Wild Card spot and has, to put it ligh...
The Montreal Canadiens played their final regular season game on Tuesday night, paying a visit to the Philadelphia Flyers, who booked their ticket to the playoffs the night prior. It was a frustrating night for the Habs in general, as they ran into the best version of Samuel Ersson in net, and made some defensive mistakes that led to a 4-2 loss to wrap up their 82-game schedule.
This isn’t the end for the 2025-26 Montreal Canadiens, however, as their own ticket to the playoffs has been bo...
Philadelphia Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet had a rough ride at times this season. Without getting into the whole situation with one specific player than got far more attention than it deserved, Tocchet juggled a lot of things in his rookie year as Philadelphia’s coach and now that they’re in a playoff spot, he deserves some recognition.
Philadelphia entered the season with little to no expectations, unless those relegating them towards the bottom of the league, and certainly near the Met...
Juuse Saros. That’s the entire list of current NHL goaltenders who stand under six feet tall. Since the year 2000, only 47 netminders under that threshold have appeared in five or more NHL games, and while that list includes some impressive names — Tim Thomas, Jaroslav Halak, and José Théodore to name a few —…
A’s 2, Rangers 1
The Flyers ended a full-season six-year playoff drought and will play in the playoffs for the first time since 2018, where they lost to the Penguins in the first round. Simply getting back to the postseason is quite the accomplishment based on the past month when Philadelphia was sitting in sixth place in the division […]
Barcelona president-elect Joan Laporta has let rip at the match officials in the wake of the team’s Champions League exit at the hands of Atletico Madrid. Raphinha has already blasted the refereeing, claiming Barca were robbed, and Laporta has now added his thoughts on the game. “First of all, I want to congratulate our opponents, […]
The San Jose Sharks took a nice step in the right direction this season, but just missed out on the playoffs. Now, they are entering the offseason with some big decisions to make. One of them is regarding defenseman Mario Ferraro, as the left-shot blueliner is a pending UFA. If Ferraro ends up hitting the free-agent market instead of re-signing with San Jose, several teams should look to sign him. Because of this, let's look at three clubs that could target Ferraro this summer. Philadelp...

After a big collapse during the final stretch of the season, the Columbus Blue Jackets have officially missed the playoffs for the sixth year in a row. This is certainly tough news for Columbus, and they now have several questions heading into the summer. Mason Marchment is one of their top pending UFAs. Given how well he fit in following being acquired by the Blue Jackets, it would make sense if they tried to extend him. However, if he ends up hitting the free-agent market, look for these thr...
The New Jersey Devils disappointed this season and have missed the playoffs because of it. When noting that the Devils entered the season with the expectation of being one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference, there is no question that they underperformed this campaign. The Devils should now be aggressive during the offseason because of it. Their biggest need heading into the summer is a legitimate top-six winger, so let's look at three players who the Devils should strongly consider tar...

Good morning Gang Green Nation! With the 2026 NFL draft just eight days away, we are being bombarded with a steady diet of mock drafts, fake trades and media speculation regarding what the Jets might do next week.

The verdict is in, and it isn't close. In an anonymous poll of NHL player agents conducted by The Athletic , the Vancouver Canucks were voted the worst-run franchise in the league, pulling seven of 22 votes, more than the next three teams combined. The New York Rangers were a distant second with four. One agent kept it simple: "They're a mess." Another was only slightly more elaborate: "I don't know what their plan is." The Canucks also ranked second in hardest front office t...
RB Leipzig captain David Raum has been named by talkSPORT’s chief football corresspondent Alex Crook as a possible replacement for the departing Andy Robertson. One of the Bundesliga’s most consistent and underrated players since his Hoffenheim days, the German left-back is now 27 years old, which makes a potential transfer a bit of an outlier […]
