In terms of the standings and the shift in their odds of making the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Pittsburgh Penguins 8-3 win over the New York Islanders on Monday night is one of their biggest wins of the 2025-26 season. It might be the biggest win. It was also one of the most impressive as […]
Jacob deGrom will start for the Texas Rangers tonight against the Baltimore Orioles, the team announced this morning. deGrom was originally scheduled to start this past Saturday in Philadelphia against the Phillies. He woke up that morning with a stiff neck, however, and with it being a blustery 45 degree day, the Rangers opted to […]
On March 9, the 2026 compensatory draft picks were released. As always, upon seeing the official release it’s proper to judge how my projection did against it. Team Rd Compensated Departure MIN 3 Sam Darnold PHI 3 Milton Williams PIT 3 Dan Moore Jr. SF 4 Aaron Banks LV 4 Trevon Moehrig PIT 4 Justin […]

Jets general manager Darren Mougey addressed the media on Monday attending the NFL’s annual league meeting. General manager comments to the press at this time of year typically aren’t going to provide much in the way of new information. No team is going to give away its strategy a few weeks before the NFL Draft. […]
Hello CSR! Welcome to Ask Brian, your weekly Carolina Panthers fan mailbag for everyone! We’re another week closer to the NFL Draft, and I’m sure for many of you the wait feels TOO long, just like it does every year. The Panthers got us excited about their draft prospects with a bang up job in […]
Just listen to the coach. Todd McLellan is always good for a money quote, and the best one coming out of Monday’s practice, per MLive , was this: “You shouldn’t be trying to extract competitiveness or heaviness out of the players at this time.” That’s exactly it. Out of context, it’s a direct callout to the players. In full context (linked above), it may not have been quite as cutting — he’s answering a question on how to right the ship after a slide, and he talked about how the...
The Wizards final West coast trip of the 2025-26 season ended about the way you’d expect — with a blowout loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. The final margin was only 19. The game itself didn’t feel that close, which is pretty normal for the Wizards this season. Both the Wizards and Lakers shot poorly […]
The Philadelphia Flyers are going to be adding their top prospect to the lineup Tuesday night and it’s coming at the perfect time. In the middle of a revitalized playoff race, and especially after an incredibly impressive 2-1 overtime win over the Dallas Stars last Saturday, there is a real possibility that we could be seeing the postseason for the first time in Philadelphia since 2018. The excitement for the Flyers being possibly back in the playoffs is a thick fog rolling through the ci...
At this point anyone who didn’t get injured is in the running for star of the month as the Colorado Eagles lineup has been a revolving door all while enduring an intensive road-heavy schedule. For the month of March they played in 13 games with just four at home going 7-3-3. For the season Colorado […]

With chaos brewing in the Pacific Division, the Edmonton Oilers seem relatively drama-free in comparison after three solid wins in a row. The Vegas Golden Knights threw the hockey world for a loop with their unceremonious firing of coach Bruce Cassidy on Sunday afternoon. Enter John Tortorella, who made his coaching debut with his new…
Ben Jacobson Hired as Utah State Head Men’s Basketball Coach In a surprising twist after all the Mark Madsen rumors, Utah State hired Ben Jacobson to take over the vacancy Jerrod Calhoun left behind. A shocker frankly, Jacobson was at Northern Iowa for 20 years and appeared to be a lifer for the Panthers. It’s […]
At the start of this season nobody was sure Evgeni Malkin even wanted to come back. He was a pending unrestricted free agent and the Pittsburgh Penguins were expected to be near the bottom of the standings, chasing a shot at Gavin McKenna. Zoom ahead to late March and the picture is just the opposite. Malkin amazingly is over a point per game this season with 15 goals and 52 points in 50 games. Pittsburgh is right in the thick of the playoff race in the Metropolit...
The Anaheim Ducks are one of the best stories in the NHL this season, sitting atop the Pacific Division with a four-point cushion on the Edmonton Oilers . The problem is that their most expensive forward isn't really part of that story. Mason McTavish signed a six-year, $42 million extension last fall after a contract dispute that kept him out of most of training camp, and in his first season on that deal, he has 14 goals and 34 points in 67 games, which is well below the 52-point campai...

Cam York isn't having a flashy season at all and his role on the Philadelphia Flyers is still fairly moldable.
With the bulk of free agency behind us, it’s time to turn our roster-building attentions to the 2026 NFL Draft. The Carolina Panthers first pick in the draft will be the 19th overall pick. Picking that late in the first round with their own pick is a novel experience for most Panthers fans. As a […]
A daily roundup of Jets, Moose coverage — all the pro hockey news that matters in Manitoba and beyond.
The Minnesota Wild had another worrisome performance against the Boston Bruins, as they fell 6-3 to the mediocre Eastern Conference wild card team. And, as we are all aware, this comes after some disappointing losses earlier this month to non-playoff teams like the New York Rangers, and then playing...

Headed into the Penguins’ game against the Islanders, second place was up for grabs in the NHL’s Metropolitan Division and Pittsburgh took full advantage with an 8-3 road win over the Islanders. With […]
It appears teams aren’t going to wait for the end of the season to start making changes. A day after the Vegas Golden Knights fired the most successful coach in their history and replaced him with an old friend, the Toronto Maple Leafs parted ways with general manager Brad Treliving. With the disappointing season the Leafs had this season, it someone was going to have to pay the price. It’s usually the general manager or the head coach, and, for now, it’s Treliving. Making the change now ...
Good morning Gang Green Nation! Former Jets quarterback Chris Streveler announced his retirement from the NFL yesterday. Despite lacking the talent to succeed at the highest levels, Streveler somehow managed to carve out a three year NFL career, culminating in his 2022 season with the Jets. In his final NFL campaign Streveler even managed to […]
