The Texas Rangers officially signed Jordan Montgomery on Friday. To make room for him on the 40 man roster, the team has designated pitcher Zak Kent for assignment. We discussed the Montgomery addition earlier in the week when the news that he would be coming back to Texas was first reported. He will start the […]
The Colorado Avalanche have been dominating the NHL all season long, and word is, they will be aggressive ahead of the March 6 trade deadline. While there aren't many gaps in the roster, the Avs are looking to add a top-nine winger who can play up and down the lineup, and bring some more secondary scoring. The Avalanche entered the Olympic break with just $5 million in cap space, so GM Chris MacFarland will have to be creative in order to add multiple pieces ahead of the deadline. Up front, th...
The Los Angeles Kings are not a big fan of Olympic hockey. In Switzerland's matchup against Canada on Friday, Kings winger Kevin Fiala fell awkwardly with Tom Wilson landing on his leg, and Fiala's since had season-ending leg surgery in Italy. It's the worst news possible for the Kings, as they'll now have a giant hole in their top six once the Olympic break concludes. Three points out of a playoff spot, look for GM Ken Holland to make a significant deal ahead of the March 6 deadline. He...
The Montreal Canadiens are expected to be aggressive buyers ahead of this season's NHL trade deadline. The Habs have burst onto the scene this season and if they can put it all together, at the right time, there's a legit shot we see Montreal win a playoff round this spring. Ahead of the trade deadline Mar.6, general manager Kent Hughes is going to make a couple of moves, and word is, Hughes has been making calls, looking for a top-six right winger. There's speculation that the team is willing...
There’s nothing quite like seeing NHL stars play at the Winter Olympics, and Edmonton Oilers’ captain Connor McDavid wasted no time living up to expectations, already leading Team Canada in points with six through two games. Team Canada is 2-0 after their first two games, and we’ve already seen some highlight-reel plays, stellar goaltending, some…

Dougie Hamilton's future with the New Jersey Devils is up in the air. That's putting it mildly. The team was actively trying to trade him earlier this season to open up some cap room. There have been many teams linked to a potential deal for Hamilton , including the Toronto Maple Leafs. But insider Chris Johnston in The Athletic projects a more familiar landing spot for the big, puck-moving offensive defenseman. He predicts Hamilton going back to the Carolina Hurricanes. ...
Penn State’s first ever trip to Oregon for a basketball game comes with the Lions trying to make it two straight conference wins.

Los Angeles Kings forward Kevin Fiala had surgery on Saturday morning after suffering a serious knee injury in Switzerland's game on Friday against Canada . It's official: his NHL season is over. The incident occured in a collision with Canada's Tom Wilson, in which Fiala landed awkwardly. He had to be stretchered off the ice. Nothing dirty about this collision, freak accident, unfortunate outcome. If someone other than Tom Wilson landed on Fiala's leg, there would be no disc...
Team Germany suffered a setback to their 2026 Olympic campaign in the early hours of Saturday morning. After picking up a 3-1 victory over Team Denmark on Thursday, the Germans fell 4-3 to Team Latvia on Saturday morning, albeit it didn’t hurt their chances of outright winning Group C, but more on that in the…
The NFL has won a major grievance against the NFLPA, which will put an end to the Miami Dolphins' dominance over the Jets in one off-field category.
Last season, hard-nosed forward Matt Stienburg’s stock was on the rise. In only his second full season as a professional, he received a call-up that every kid dreams of. He got the call to make his NHL debut with the Colorado Avalanche on October 16, 2024, after only playing two games with the Colorado Eagles […]
Good morning, LSB. Evan Grant says “Not so fast, my friend” and write that Sebastian Walcott could still maybe possibly see the field in 2026. Grant also writes about the homecoming of Jordan Montgomery in what could turn into a Rangers Hallmark movie. Kennedi Landry also writes about Montgomery’s return and how happy he is […]
The LA Kings are still looking to upgrade and a center is at the top of their needs. Ideally, a center with term would fit nicely in the plans, but even just someone to help with a playoff push and deeper run this season would be of great help as well. According to David Pagnotta, "Charlie Coyle, that's a player that I believe (LA) has some interest in." Coyle is a strong third line center and is able to play as the second line center. He has been doing both his entire career and this season. ...
It wasn’t too long ago that the Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks did battle in the second round of the postseason. In 2023-24, the Canucks came out of nowhere and finished first in the Pacific Division. After leading 3-2 in the second round, they dropped the next two games to the Oilers, nearly completing a…
From five-goal playoff nights to midseason scoring bursts, we break down what Liam Greentree is becoming, and what it could mean for the Rangers’ future.
My grandfather is the one that got me into football. His favorite player was Romário, and he told me once that Romário played in Spain for this club called Barcelona. I was probably six years old. I didn’t think much of it at the time. Fast forward two years to June 2001 in a small […]
The Toronto Maple Leafs are reportedly going to move on from Bobby McMann as he'll fetch a good return and they may feel like he's going to be too costly to re-sign. Whether anyone other than the organization thinks it's a good idea to trade him instead of bringing him back, the Maple Leafs are going to do what they think is best to retool the team again before next season and get back to being contenders. James Mirtle said, "The talk out there is people think he's worth what Kiefer Sherwood g...
The Vancouver Canucks appear to be willing to trade many of their players. Two key ones have already been traded away earlier this season. One of the next to go is Evander Kane, who the Canucks brought in from the Edmonton Oilers prior to the season. As the season hasn't gone as planned, Kane is now being used as trade bait to get them a mid-round pick. If no team is willing to go as high as they're asking, I'm sure Vancouver will drop the price. Chris Johnston said, "The Canucks are willing t...
