*Big Game 6 tonight for our boys, back on home ice with their third chance to knock the Penguins out for good. Game 7 would be a bad idea, and it’s easy to be feeling a little negative after two straight losses, but maybe we all need to settle down a little. Maybe. [ BSH ] *Did you hear Matvei Michkov was scratched in Game 5? Did you notice this? Anyone you know talking about it? Anyway maybe we need to settle down about that too. [ BSH ] *Charlie has some Thoughts on what it is that...
With the Montreal Canadiens and Tampa Bay Lightning deadlocked at two wins apiece after four games, the series has become the talk of NHL circles as not just the most entertaining and fiery series of the first round, but possibly the most even series in recent memory. The teams boasted 106 points each in the regular season, though if you looked under the hood you would see a sizable gap in the ability to consistently control play, favouring Tampa Bay. Yet the series has reflected much clo...

NY Daily News | Gary Phillips: The Yankees are promoting 22-year-old right-hander Elmer Rodríguez to make his MLB debut on Wednesday against the Texas Rangers. It’s a well-deserved call-up, as he was sporting a brilliant 1.27 ERA in 21.1 Triple-A innings, with seven walks and 20 strikeouts. Rodríguez, as described by Triple-A bullpen coach Peter […]

As the Edmonton Oilers forced a Game 6 and kept their season alive on Tuesday night with their 4-1 win over the Anahiem Ducks, fans were left with just another questionable decision from the officials. In this one, there was no decision favourable for the fans when Chris Kreider laid a hit on Leon Draisaitl…
The Edmonton Oilers‘ season isn’t done just yet. With their backs up against the wall, the Oilers hosted the Anaheim Ducks for Game 5 of their first-round series, down 3-1. Thankfully, more Oilers hockey will be played this season, as they won 4-1 to force Game 6. Let’s take a look at what went on…
The Minnesota Wild can't pop the champagne yet. Historically, road teams that win Game 5 to go up 3-2 win 77.4% of playoff series, but the door is open for the Dallas Stars to make a comeback if the Wild aren't careful. However, the Wild we saw in Tuesday night's 4-2 win to seize control of th...
In a somewhat surprising move, Notre Dame’s KK Bransford announced that she has committed to the UCLA Bruins via the transfer portal. UCLA is the reigning national champion, but just sent all of its starters to the WNBA. So, I think it’s safe to presume that the Bruins have some NIL money to spend as […]
Oregon baseball ended the Gonzaga Bulldogs’ 14-game win streak with a 4-3 win at PK Park. The Ducks bats scored their four runs in the first two innings, and that was enough behind the pitchers to give Oregon a 6-game win streak. Pitchers. Plural. As in, a different pitcher every inning. This is the first […]
Outgoing AFC Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola and possibly outgoing Fulham manager Marco Silva appear to be the two primary candidates in the (supposedly) early stages of Chelsea’s search for our next manager head coach, but a report yesterday (Tuesday) from The Telegraph has also lumped in currently unemployed Xabi Alonso into that preferred group for […]
The Texas Rangers scored two runs but the New York Yankees scored three runs. The Yankees got the customary two-out first inning run that the generous Rangers hand out every game. With some excellent starting pitching and some highlight-reel defense from both teams, score stays there. Sixth inning, 1-0 game. The Rangers get the first […]
There was a very brief update from Elliotte Friedman about the Leafs’ executive search on his Oilers NOW segment on Tuesday night, but it was a bit of a bombshell: “We are waiting for Mats Sundin’s decision. I believe, if he says yes, it will be a John Chayka-Mats Sundin combination.” The cynical angle on […] The post Latest from Friedman: If Sundin agrees to Leafs job, Chayka-Sundin will lead the new management group appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
Everyone loves Ernie Johnson, Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, and Shaquille O’Neal. They are the undisputed gold standard of sports television, well, NBA television. But for Kentucky Basketball fans, seeing the iconic Inside the NBA crew pop up on their screens during a recruiting announcement is quickly becoming a nightmare. Twice within the past year, Kentucky […]
Fans of the Edmonton Oilers might not want to hear this, but the head honcho of the NHL agrees with the final decision that cost their team an important game.

The Carolina Hurricanes made quick work of the Ottawa Senators in the first round of the playoffs, dispatching of them in four straight games. They're now waiting on the winner of the Philadelphia Flyers-Pittsburgh Penguins series. The Flyers are clinging to a 3-2 lead.

The Yankees got off to a strong start in the Lone Star State last night, dispatching the Rangers 4-2 behind a trio of home runs and another Max Fried quality start.

The injury bug completely ruined the Florida Panthers' 2025-26 season, and they missed the playoffs because of it. Now, they have several decisions to make when it comes to their roster this summer. The Panthers are entering the offseason with many pending unrestricted free agents (UFAs). Sergei Bobrovsky and A.J. Greer are the most notable, and it is likely that the Panthers will try to keep them around if they can. However, the Panthers have a handful of other pending UFAs who likely w...
