2 Canadiens Defensemen Will Be Gone By End Of Next Season

The Montreal Canadiens continue to churn out or acquire good NHL defensemen, and in a system that does that, the team has to eventually part with some. The offense has been coming together for the Canadiens, and the goaltending looks solid now and for the future, but at forward is where the team must once again look to potentially swap out a defender to get better. The Canadiens have Mike Matheson, Lane Hutson, Noah Dobson, and Kaiden Guhle all signed through 2031. That feels like their core o...

Morning, all! With severe winter weather bearing down on the metroplex the Rangers have cancelled Fan Fest. Josh Sborz is coming back to Texas on a minor league deal with an invite to Spring Training. Andruw Jones and Carlos Beltran have been elected to the Hall of Fame. They played a combined 124 games for […]

Rangers place two in BA top 100 list

Baseball America has released their 2026 top 100 prospect list, and the Texas Rangers have two players on the list. Yes, two. That’s not a typo. Sebastian Walcott making the top 100 was a given, with the only question being whether he would crack the top 10 or not. Walcott ended up at #16 on […]

2 More Trade Candidates Named For Canucks

The Vancouver Canucks have to commit to selling at this point and call this season a wash at the very least. The team should realistically go into a rebuild, but their course of action remains to be seen. After Quinn Hughes and Kiefer Sherwood were moved, there are still some players on shorter term deals that could be traded as well. While there may be more interest in the players that could really send the Canucks into a rebuild, players on the last year of their deals are more urgent to mov...

Kraken May Have To Trade Productive Top-6 Forward

The Seattle Kraken are right in the mix for a playoff spot, but there is still some time until the trade deadline, though it approaches quickly. Some big decisions are going to have to be made. There isn't a high chance that the Kraken bring back all five of their pending UFAs, but would certainly like to keep a couple around if they can. The group of upcoming free agents on the Kraken include Jordan Eberle, Eeli Tolvanen, Jaden Schwartz, Ben Meyers, and Jamie Oleksiak. Who we're focusing on h...

Which goalie can build the best roster of guys who scored their first goal on him?

Today, we’re going to play a roster-building game based on a relatively straightforward question: Which goalie can make the best six-man team out of players who scored their first career goal against them? That’s it. Nice and simple. But first, a few ground rules™: - Each squad will be made up of three forwards, two defensemen and a goalie. Other than that, position won’t matter. - The forwards and defensemen must have all scored their first career goals against the same goaltender. That goali...

Bottom Six Minutes: Habs beat the Wild, and the refs at home

After wrapping up a three-game road trip, the Montreal Canadiens were back at the Bell Centre to host one of the top teams in the league, the Minnesota Wild. With the visitors playing the second half of a back-to-back, the Habs were in full control of the game at five-on-five, and ultimately took a 4-3 win in regulation thanks to a thrilling Cole Caufield goal with 15 seconds left on the clock. It was a thrilling way for the home crowd to celebrate a win, notwithstanding the strange nature of ...

Future Leadership, Health Watch, Goaltending Concerns, Cirelli Hurt, and Other Blackhawks Bullets

The assumption has been since the Blackhawks won the right to select Connor Bedard in the draft lottery that he is the heir to the captaincy in Chicago. In our bullets yesterday I shared a comment from Jonathan Toews when he was asked about Bedard’s maturation and growth as the face of the Blackhawks. So this really good read from Scott Powers and Mark Lazerus at The Athletic about the future of the Blackhawks’ captaincy resonates. This quote from Nick Foligno is very on-brand for Foligno...
