“It’s not quite there yet, but it’s getting closer,” as the Jets look to lock up their captain long-term.
The Anaheim Ducks have come out of the gate swinging despite some struggles in net very early in the season. They have won four games in a row and are 8-3-1 on the season, leading the Pacific Division. The Ducks traded away John Gibson to give Lukas Dostal the net, but also added Petr Mrazek, Chris Kreider, and Mikael Granlund to go with a handful of young guys all playing well. The Ducks seem to have taken a big, much-needed step even further forward from last season and are ready to get back...
After pissing away what looked like a sure thing against the St. Louis Blues on Monday, the Edmonton Oilers were back on the ice in Dallas to close out the second half of their back-to-back. And while we all knew beating the Stars would be a tall task, what I didn’t expect was to watch…
After going through the Green Bay Packers’ game against the Carolina Panthers a couple of times, I’ve had a few things stand out to me. Some of those things are good, and some are bad (that’s generally the way all games go). Today, I wanted to focus on something that was of particular interest to […]
Let no one say that this trade deadline was uneventful. Daybreak brought news of the Cowboys’ trade for linebacker Logan Wilson, but the real headliner was made later on Tuesday. Jets star defensive tackle Quinnen Williams was sent to Dallas in a deal that involved former first-round pick Mazi Smith. People are already debating the […]
The Los Angeles Kings have to make a splash this season before Adrian Kempe gets a higher salary and Anze Kopitar retires. GM Ken Holland, despite his poor offseason, isn't sitting still and is looking to make the moves to give the Kings a chance. Per The Fourth Period, "The Kings are looking to add extra firepower up front, especially within their top-6. If the Kings part ways with someone off the roster, left wing Trevor Moore may be a potential candidate." Moore has been a solid middle-6 wi...
The Minnesota Wild are 5-6-3 to start the season, but have won two in a row and look to be starting to turn things around, but they need help. Anthony Di Marco reported, "The Wild are in the market to bolster their middle-6 forward group. It is still early to tie any specific names to the Wild, but it is for certain that they are looking for help up front." There are already some teams separating themselves as teams that will likely be selling by the trade deadline or sooner, so let's dive int...
The development of the Blackhawks’ top prospects has been the focus of the organization for the past three years. In an ideal world, a team doesn’t want to rush a young player into being forced to play more than they’re ready for in the NHL. And, ideally, a team can insulate young defensemen with experience and create situations where both learning and success can co-exist. Unfortunately, the Blackhawks didn’t have the organizational depth to provide a sheltered NHL initiation to Kevin Ko...
The New Orleans Saints will play their first road divisional game of the season as they take on the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. Here’s what either outcome could mean for the black and gold. If the Saints win Despite sitting at 1-8, it’s nice to win NFC South matchups. And a win on this occasion […]
Even though the 2025 NFL season just started, it’s never too early to look ahead toward the 2026 NFL Draft. This weekly series will take a closer look at some of the prospects the Carolina Panthers could select in the 2026 iteration of the Draft. In this series, we’ll only be looking at prospects the […]
We had a chance to catch up with former University of Denver forward Aidan Thompson last week after he visited Loveland. A lot has happened in the last year for the Fort Collins, Colorado, native. He has now moved on from his collegiate career to a professional career in the Chicago Blackhawks organization. Thompson now […]
Morning, all! On the one hand, most of the Ranger offense is returning in 2026… on the other hand, that probably isn’t a good thing. And that’s about all I’m seeing out there this morning.
Fort Cherry’s (PA) Matt Sieg added another feather to his cap in his Rangers’ eleventh win of the season, breaking the school’s all-time rushing record. As a reminder, he plays quarterback in high school. The four-star had two touchdowns and 154 yards in the affair before heading to the bench. He now also sits second […]

The USA and Canada aren't the only rivals in women's hockey facing off this week.
The Rangers outplayed Carolina for half the game but still can’t buy a goal — their sixth straight home loss and fourth home shutout of the year.
The Edmonton Oilers may just be living proof that a two-goal lead is the worst lead in hockey. For the fourth time this season — and a night after doing so against the St. Louis Blues — the team coughed up such a lead, going on to lose. Last night it was against the Dallas…
I guess my first thought on everything that happened at the trade deadline is that I need to pick my jaw off the floor. I was genuinely shocked that Sauce Gardner got traded and pretty surprised that Quinnen Williams was. The article I wrote ahead of yesterday’s trade deadline certainly looks like a first ballot […]
This week, the New Orleans Saints will travel to Charlotte to face the Carolina Panthers in Week 10 of the 2025 NFL season. With signs pointing to a potential decrease in snaps for one of the team’s captains, the player to watch is RB Devin Neal. After fumbling with four minutes remaining in the third […]

It’s Hall of Fame induction week, and the class of 2025 is an interesting one. Of the four players on the men’s side, we had two absolute locks (Zdeno Chara and Joe Thornton), plus one guy who was very close (Duncan Keith) and another who should have been (Alexander Mogilny). While you never quite know how the committee will judge a candidate, all four players absolutely felt like future Hall-of-Famers midway through their careers. Many eventual HHOFers fit that pattern. That said, it’s possib...
We get an early start to the NCAA weekend for Blackhawks prospects this week with freshman phenom Václav Nestrašil and UMass hosting Maine on Thursday night. He’s been one of the most impressive freshman in the entire country early this collegiate season. This is a big weekend set against another ranked opponent. Here’s the three-day weekend schedule for Blackhawks prospects in college action. Thursday, Nov. 6 No. 6 Maine at No. 12 UMass — 6 PM CT Friday, Nov. 7 No. ...
Tuesday night saw the first matchup between the Montreal Canadiens and Philadelphia Flyers this season, and it couldn’t have gone any worse for the home side in the opening minutes. Digging themselves a deep three-goal hole inside of the first 10 minutes, they had to fight their way back into the game during the second period, despite playing some of their roughest-looking hockey at even strength. Thanks to the Habs’ young skill players, and some timely power play goals, they were able to...
The New Jersey Devils have lost four games this season out of the first thirteen they have played. Coincidentally, all four of those games have something in common. What is that, you might ask? The Devils tendency to give up the first goal within the first five minutes of the game. It’s something that has […]
