The Texas Rangers scored eight runs while the Houston Astros scored zero runs. The top of the fifth was a big moment for the Rangers as Alejandro Osuna ended the daily no-hit watch with an infield single and then Jake Burger collected the first extra base hit of the weekend for Texas when he smacked […]
Penn State's Voight Demeester grew up with ice in his blood and realized his sexual orientation was no barrier to athletic success.
If the Edmonton Oilers wind up successful in their attempts to court Bruce Cassidy for their now-vacant head coaching position, there might be one player who isn’t too happy to see his arrival. Trent Frederic. It’s easy to assume that Frederic would be happy, given he played his first 100-odd NHL games under his tutelage…

The Maple Leafs’ house cleaning continues. On Sunday, the club announced that AGMs Brandon Pridham and Derek Clancey will depart the organization. pic.twitter.com/A6RrDs7uEM — Toronto Maple Leafs (@MapleLeafs) May 17, 2026 These moves hardly come as a surprise. New GMs almost always clear out the old regime and bring in “their” guys. A month and […] The post Maple Leafs’ front-office house cleaning continues: Brandon Pridham and Derek Clancey depart the organization appeared first on Maple...

The San Jose Sharks are officially in the offseason and that means there’s some business to take care of. The front office has a large group of unrestricted and restricted free agents to decide on over the next month or two, with the ultimate goal of building a team that can win a Stanley Cup. It’s pretty clear that this season, the Sharks took a major step forward in the team’s efforts towards that goal, so now, it’s about figuring out how to build on that. Some of it will include bringi...
The Minnesota Wild have made the playoffs twice in the last two seasons under head coach John Hynes. This time, they advanced into the second round but were eliminated by their rivals, the Colorado Avalanche, headed by Jared Bednar. After Hynes three-year tenure in Minnesota, and the tumultuous coaching carousel which continues to this day, you have to wonder whether or not he'll be the next coach shuffled back onto the ride, which seems to continue in perpetuity. Hynes reco...
TODAY’S GAME: The Houston Astros (19-28) will play the final game of their seven-game homestand today as they go for a sweep in the first round of the Silver Boot Series, presented by the Texas Lottery, against the in-state rival Texas Rangers (21-24).

Brandon Pridham and Derek Clancey are leaving.
Over the course of the regular season, it became clear Stephon Castle was not going to suffer a sophomore slump following up his Rookie of the Year season. Castle, at only 21 years old, improved in every nearly counting stat he could. From points (14.7 per game to 16.7), rebounds (3.7 to 5.3), assists (4.1 […]
The Minnesota Wild made the blockbuster move of the season this year, acquiring Quinn Hughes from the Vancouver Canucks. But GM Bill Guerin didn't stop there according to a report, as he also tried to acquire one of Hughes' brothers, Luke, from the New Jersey Devils.

The goaltender market is starting to look like it'll be a busy one this offseason. We've talked a lot about names like pending UFAs Sergei Bobrovsky and Stuart Skinner, and a likely trade candidate like Jordan Binnington. Now we should be adding Darcy Kuemper's name to the list, per Scott Coffman in Mayors Manor . Once the LA Kings work out a new contract for RFA Brandt Clarke, and potentially re-sign pending UFA Scott Laughton, they'll have some cap issues if they were hoping to bring i...
Lots to discuss with the Saskatchewan product after his first pro season.
With two years remaining on Connor McDavid’s contract, this will be the most important off‑season in the McDavid and Draisaitl era for the Edmonton Oilers. There is no doubt the team needs to make meaningful changes, and their recent decision to fire Kris Knoblauch shows the organization is willing to do so. But whether that…

Sam Rosen says the Rangers are at a "turning point." Vince Mercogliano says Mario Ferraro "checks the most boxes." And Darren Dreger says Toronto is circling Vincent Trocheck.
It’s that time of year again, folks! The Flyers punctuated something of a wild season with an impressive playoff push, all things considered, even if it did come to a close a little sooner than they would have liked. All the same, they did a lot of good work with that appearance to boost the standing of the team in the city, and build up the optimism surrounding their trajectory again. Now, with the 2025-26 season in the rearview, we’re shifting our focus again to the future, and how they’ll c...
Good morning, folks… The Texas Rangers lost to the Houston Astros last night by a score of 4-1. Evan Grant says the Rangers’ offense is historically bad, though his math appears to be off in regards to the average number of runs the Rangers are scoring per game thusfar. Corey Seager got a day off […]
We are onto the fourth part of my offseason kickoff series here at Oilersnation, where I look at the five storylines that will define this summer for the Edmonton Oilers. The earlier parts were more foundational questions about the coaching staff, the team’s ability to create cap space, and their philosophy on getting younger. Today,…
Keep an eye on the Philadelphia Flyers this summer, as general manager Daniel Briere will be looking to add a tandem goaltender partner for Daniel Vladar next season. The Flyers exceeded expectations this season getting to the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and now it's on Briere to add around the edges of the roster and get his team in better shape for more noise next spring. Vladar proved he can handle a decent work load and be there in big games, but it's a priority for the Flyer...
