Latest blog entries from Denver teams across every league
The Colorado Avalanche are set to welcome the Pittsburgh Penguins this evening for a late-night, nationally televised contest at Ball Arena in downtown Denver. It hasn’t been officially confirmed yet, but Sidney Crosby was a full participant at this morning’s skate and could return to the lineup after missing time with an injury suffered during […]
Given that LeBron James has played more basketball season that any other player you’d think he was done with firsts in his career. However, he gave us all a new one in LA’s matchup against the Nuggets. In the fourth quarter, LeBron dove on the floor, fully extending his body and going airborne to try […]
Brett Sullivan was drafted in the 17th round of the 2015 MLB Draft by the Tampa Bay Rays. He made his MLB debut eight years later on April 18, 2023 with the San Diego Padres and has been a journeyman catcher since. In 43 MLB games, Sullivan has slashed just .204/.250/.291 with two homers. Still, […]
Once upon a time, Jorge Sosa was an outfielder in the Colorado Rockies system with an electric arm. So naturally, the Rockies kept him as far away from the mound as possible. It was the Seattle Mariners who decided to transition him to a pitching role after selecting during the minor league phase of the […]
We’ve seen some of the most exciting moments in recent Minnesota Wild memory this season, from the Quinn Hughes trade to the great stretch in December. The Wild have beaten contenders like the Colorado Avalanche, the Vegas Golden Knights, and the Tampa Bay Lightning. Minnesota has had some high...
When the Rockies signed Thairo Estrada to a one-year deal ahead of the 2025 season, it seemed like the team had an answer — at least in the short-term — at second base in the post-Brendan Rodgers era. Injuries derailed that plan as Estrada started and ended the season on the 60-Day IL twice, first with a […]
Will they, or won’t they? That’s a question many Non-Roster Invites will be asking themselves this week as teams begin trimming their rosters in preparation for the 2026 season. Nicky Lopez is one of the NRIs invited to the Colorado Rockies spring training activities. A 31-year-old infielder from Naperville, Illinois, Lopez is veteran who has […]

Here are your Pens Points for this Monday morning… It appears the Pittsburgh Penguins reassigned defenseman Alex Alexeyev back to the AHL’s Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins on Sunday. He was recalled to the NHL on Thursday, but did not dress for the NHL club in either contest he was available for. [Trib Live] Forward Connor Dewar has […]
This afternoon, the Colorado Rockies lost to the Los Angeles Angels, 6.5. For more game highlights, please click here. The Rockies are now 11-11 in spring training play. Although there were no interviews today, the Rockies did provide game highlights. But first, Hunter Goodman hit his second home run of 2026. And with that, please […]
In the week that was Edmonton Oilers hockey, we saw the highs and lows that are a microcosm of the 2025-26 season. The wins over the Vegas Golden Knights and Colorado Avalanche were both tidy and exciting: showcasing a brand of low-event, structured puck in Nevada, and then a dynamic attack off the rush of…
To win a basketball game, it takes a combination of skill and luck. The Lakers had both elements working for them in their overtime victory over the Nuggets. Austin Reaves missed a free throw on purpose in the closing seconds of regulation, grabbed the rebound and made the shot that sent the game to overtime. […]
On Saturday the Rockies lost… but they also won. In split squad action they were beat by the Milwaukee Brewers primarily due to a rough four run appearance from Victor Vodnik. At the same time, they bested the Cubs 4-3 after a scoreless three inning start from Kyle Freeland and a walk-off two run homer […]
With the surprising win on Saturday over the league leading Colorado Avalanche, the Winnipeg Jets have managed to pull within 6 points of the Western Conference’s final wildcard spot. That spot is currently being held by the San Jose Sharks, who have played 1 less game than the True Northers, and our club still needs to pass 4 other franchises in standings before they could grab that last post-season berth. So there is a lot of work to be done with only 17 more contests left in the regular sea...
Gut punch loss The post Recap: Denver Nuggets make comeback against Los Angeles Lakers but Luka Doncic hits game winner in overtime and Denver loses 127-125 appeared first on Denver Stiffs .
Very rarely does a team lose a player in free agency to a big contract and get him back a year later, much less at a fraction of the cost. That’s exactly what happened with Dre Greenlaw. The San Francisco 49ers tried to keep him, but got outbid by the Denver Broncos. Thus began a […]
One player this season has fallen from grace in the Colorado Avalanche organization. Over the summer, we had ranked Cooper Gay at 15th on the Top 25 Under 25 and thoughts of him making his NHL debut. Now, the Avalanche may think otherwise. He was a prized free-agent signing, and now is unlikely to crack […]
Scottsdale, Ariz. — Tanner Gordon is in his third spring training with the Colorado Rockies and is in the mix for the fifth starter spot alongside Chase Dollander, Ryan Feltner and Antonio Senzatela. Gordon had a remarkable 2025 campaign and is looking to build on that in 2026. “[There’s] a lot of good energy around […]
The Spurs have been active this past week on Instagram. Between Jaylen Brown’s ejection, losing to the Nuggets, the team photo shoot, and then knotting up the series with the Charlotte Hornets, the Silver & Black have also been posting a lot from their player interview series. This installment asks the guys what day they […]
LOS ANGELES — During the 2020s, beating the Nuggets has become a tough task. The Lakers have experienced this firsthand over the years, with a Western Conference Finals loss to Denver in 2023, a first-round playoff exit against them in 2024 and even painful regular season losses such as their defeat during Kobe Bryant’s statue […]
The Lakers beat the Nuggets 127-125 in an overtime thriller. LA now owns the tiebreaker over Denver. Clutch plays by LeBron and Reaves sent the game into OT. While both teams played the extra five minutes with tired legs, Deandre Ayton’s four points helped Los Angeles heavily in the period. Luka put the icing on […]
Sitting here on March 14th before a single inning of regular season ball has been played — exactly four months out from the Midsummer Classic on July 14th — feels like the perfect time to make some bold predictions and dream some big dreams for the 2026 MLB All Star Game. Let’s start with the […]
The Colorado Avalanche spent most of Saturday afternoon trying to catch up but came up short in a 3–1 loss to the Winnipeg Jets at Canada Life Centre. Winnipeg took control early in the second period and never really let go, while goaltender Connor Hellebuyck stopped nearly everything Colorado sent his way. Martin Nečas finally got the Avalanche on the board late in the third period, […]

Box Score The Brewers put up a win in the Cactus League today, but for most fans, they were just interested in today’s bulk pitchers: Jacob Misiorowski, the starter, and Brandon Sproat, who followed. Both did pretty well, and a balanced Brewer offense, powered by homers from three guys who aren’t necessarily known as power […]
