Kyle Louis was listed as the Miami Dolphins' biggest NFL draft steal by NFL.com's Gennaro Filice.
While not undergoing the drastic changes of the last two offseasons, the New England Patriots coaching staff is still going to look different heading into 2026. The most prominent change happened on defense. Terrell Williams, the team’s nominal defensive coordinator last season, was moved to a different position in the organization after missing significant chunks […]
CLEVELAND — Reputations don’t change overnight, especially ones built through years of playoff failures. The Cleveland Cavaliers didn’t alter how they were perceived with a gutsy 114-102 Game 7 win over the Toronto Raptors. They did, however, show that they don’t have to be defined by previous postseason letdowns. Jarrett Allen was the exact opposite […]
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about the diamond sports and how one is still kicking while the other… not so much.

After a strong showing in Game 1 of the North Division Semifinals, the Laval Rocket have dropped back-to-back games while being outscored 12-4, and find themselves on the brink of elimination to the Toronto Marlies. For a team that bulldozed their way to the conference finals last year and collected consecutive North Division titles, this is not a spot they expected to find themselves in.

It’s a tale as old as time at this point. The Yankees, loaded with talent and with their usual championship aspirations, roar out of the gate, looking every bit the class of the American League for the first half or so of the season. Then, the midseason swoon hits, and the team plummets in the […]
*Y’all catch Game 1 of the Flyers-Canes series, which inexplicably was played on Saturday night while the first round is still going on? It was uh… well it was a little rough. RECAP !
*It got pretty scrappy, this game, and Rick Tocchet had some things to say about that. [ BSH ]
*One of the reasons this game was so rough was the Flyers were without Owen Tippett, and they’re probably going to need him and his speed if they’re going to stand a chance. [ The Athletic ]
*As of now, l...

It’s a winner-take-all match following Wednesday’s 1-1 draw, and both clubs are desperate to end up in Budapest for the May 30 final. Tuesday night’s winner […]
Feel relieved, Islanders fans: the Canadiens have eclipsed the 2015 Islanders’ dubious records by recording even fewer shots in a Game 7 than the Islanders did on that terrible night in D.C. Of course the critical difference is that the Canadiens’ 9 shots (compared to the Islanders’ 11 on that frustrating night opposite Barry Trotz’s […]
Here are your Pens Points for this Monday morning… As the Pittsburgh Penguins and their fans begin the off-season, two of the franchise’s biggest stars are in something of a “wait-and-see” mode regarding their future. Captain Sidney Crosby hasn’t decided whether he’ll continue playing beyond the 2026-27 season when his contract expires. He could sign […]
Well, Saturday was a load of rubbish, wasn’t it? A quick caveat before I start. Yes, there are reasons to be grateful. The ‘at least we have a club’ mantra has become somewhat of a meme on social media, but it’s sometimes worth taking a step back and considering how poor the off-field situation was […]
What are we supposed to do now? But seriously, after watching the Celtics collapse against the 76ers and seeing their season come to a crashing halt, it feels like something is missing from spring. We’ve all devoted countless hours to watching this team play in May and June, and knowing that the journey is completely […]
The Pittsburgh Pirates are coming off a series sweep of the rival Cincinnati Reds, but they still find themselves at the bottom of what’s been a tightly contested National League Central division all season long. Despite the last place distinction that the Pirates hold, they still have a record over .500, as they are currently […]
Occam’s razor is attributed to a 14th-century friar named William of Ockham. He doesn’t seem to be widely remembered for much else. The simplest explanation is: his idea that the explanation with the fewest elements is probably the most logical one was by far his best work. The Houston Rockets had a disappointing 2025-26 season.
