Welcome to the longest off-season the Edmonton Oilers have faced in years. After a first-round exit against the Anaheim Ducks, the back-to-back Western Conference champions have more to answer than they’ve had at any point in this run. The result is one thing. The concern is that this version of the roster didn’t consistently look…
Inspiration. In the game thread on 1 May, there was some doubt about the sustainability of the Diamondbacks’ performance (16 wins, 14 losses before the game started). The game was close, with the Diamondbacks losing by one run. For whatever reason, the Diamondbacks are not pitching well in the first inning. With my optimistic viewpoint, […]
When the Colorado Rockies selected right-handed pitcher Cade Denton (No. 42 PuRP) in the sixth round of the 2023 draft, MLB Pipeline considered him one of the best pure relievers available. The hard-throwing righty had just helped his Oral Roberts Golden Eagles go deep in the 2023 College World Series by posting a 1.83 ERA […]
Joao Pedro has only just been linked with a move to Barcelona but the rumor mill has already decided that the Brazilian won’t be heading for Camp Nou and has found yet another target to add to the ever-increasing list.

In 2001, the Cubs were coming off a 97-loss season. The Dodgers were good, but hadn’t made the playoffs in four years. That was the backdrop to what began as an ordinary Saturday afternoon at Wrigley Field. The Cubs, off to a good start that year, entered the day at 17-11, two games in the […]
The fourth edition of the ‘Cats Classic was one that built hope for Northwestern baseball but left it distraught, demoralized and doubtful of its Big Ten Tournament hopes. A change of scenery seemed to be a “best case scenario” for NU at the time. Last season, Wrigley Field brought a change of the tide for […]
Now that the 2026 NFL Draft is done, it’s time for some film rooms on the Philadelphia Eagles’ rookie class. Over the coming weeks, I’ll be publishing individual film breakdowns on the Eagles’ 2026 draft class here at Bleeding Green Nation.

Nathan MacKinnon owns a Hart Trophy. Cale Makar has two Norris Trophies. But the reason they're considered among the best in the world at their positions isn't their regular-season chops. Both players also shine brightest in the playoffs. Among active players, Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl...
The end of the 2025-26 season can’t come soon enough for Newcastle, and on Tuesday, things got even worse.

Per Caulkin, Newcastle informed media […]

In the first round, Jeremy Chen led the way with a 3-under performance that included four birdies, including back-to-back birdies on holes 17 and 18. Ethan Tseng also delivered a […]
It’s been a tough go for the Colorado Rockies, who have lost their last four games, including the series opener with the New York Mets.

As one of the youngest Flyers on the roster, Jamie Drysdale is blossoming under the highest pressure.
With the dust now settled from the NFL offseason and teams starting to re-gather for offseason programs, we have a better idea now of what the league looks like heading into the 2026-27 season. And the Chicago Bears’ outlook so far, much like it was in the second half of last season, keeps on looking […]
There was a lot of speculation leading up to the 2026 NFL Draft about the Kansas City Chiefs’ interest in solidifying the future of the offensive line by acquiring a potential starter at the right tackle position. Seven picks and 20 undrafted free agent signings later, the team was still without a player that could […]

Over the first six years of his career with the Buffalo Bills, fullback Reggie Gilliam touched the ball just 24 times. Now in New England, he believes there’s more to give. “I feel like I’ve been underutilized before, and I feel like a lot of people don’t know what I can do with the ball […]

You knew the Premier League title race was going to have another major plot twist or two. The first one came last night, as Manchester City blew a 1-0 second half lead at Everton, to fall behind 3-1.

Washington entered the final weekend of the regular season with a chance to solidify its standing near the top half of the Big Ten, but a trip to Columbus instead exposed many of the same issues that have lingered beneath the surface for much of the year.

Cale Makar was a surprise press conference selection following game two as he joined Devon Toews on the podium following Colorado’s game-one victory over the Minnesota Wild. Still, he was visibly fatigued, albeit engaged during the presser. Cale typically has a bright presence, even after a grueling playoff game. Still, his appearance struck me, considering […]
