Brandon Hagel fined by Department of Player Safety

The Tampa Bay Lightning have been one of the biggest benefactors of the Players’ Emergency Assistance Fund this season. On Monday, they contributed another $5,000 as Brandon Hagel was fined for his actions in the Bolts’ 8-7 loss to the Buffalo Sabres. In case you were wondering, yes, that is the maximum amount allowable under the Collective Bargaining Agreement. The stated reason he was fined was “for serving as the aggressor in an altercation with Buffalo Sabres defenseman Rasmus Dahlin”...

The Basics First period: 1:04- Noah Laba (Matthew Robertson, Tye Kartye), 13:06- Mika Zibanejad (Alexis Lafreniere, Vladislav Gavrikov), 19:23- Alexis Lafreniere (Mika Zibanejad, Vincent Trocheck) (PPG) Second period: 3:54-Matvei Michkov (Jamie Drysdale, Trevor Zegras)(PPG), 6:40- Gabe ...

Former Jaguars LB Devin Lloyd signs with Panthers

Anthony Campanile’s defense faces a significant void heading into 2026 after Devin Lloyd, the Jaguars’ All-Pro linebacker, agreed to join the Carolina Panthers on a three-year, $45 million deal. While the move was widely anticipated, its impact on Jacksonville’s defensive core still may be hard to overstate. The Jaguars traded into the first round of […]

The Panthers have agreed to terms with LB Devin Lloyd

The Panthers investment in their front seven on defense continues. Late Monday Night, Adam Schefter reported the Panthers had closed the deal with someone they’d been heavily rumored to be interested in and negotiating with, arguably the best available inside linebacker in free agency. Just like with EDGE Jaelan Phillips earlier in the day, the […]

Trade DUD-Line Day

I have no idea why anyone makes a big day out of Trade Deadline Day any longer. Everyone was making a big deal about how the Nazem Kadri trade from Calgary to Colorado was a "blockbuster", yet all I did was shrug my shoulders because Colorado added a third-line centerman. Yes, Kadri likely could play higher up in the lineup, but Colorado's lineup doesn't need him in the top-six forward group. For as much as TSN, Sportsnet, and the NHL Network make Trade Deadline Day a thing, it's not. And it s...

Oilers Prospect Update: Why Colton Dach isn’t an unassuming acquisition

While the Edmonton Oilers swung two trades ahead of last Friday’s NHL trade deadline, with Connor Murphy and Jason Dickinson being the “big-name additions,” Colton Dach has seemingly slid under the radar. Dach’s journey to the NHL wasn’t a smooth one, marked by multiple shortened WHL seasons because of the COVID-19 pandemic or injury. He…

Panthers signing QB Kenny Pickett to 1-year deal

The Panthers are adding to their quarterback room behind starter Bryce Young. Per reports, Carolina is inking former Eagles, Raiders, and Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett to a one-year deal worth up to $7.5 million with $4 million in guaranteed money. He has mainly been a backup the past two seasons after two seasons as a […]

Insider Reveals Maple Leafs-Canadiens Blockbuster Almost Happened

Rumors of a rare rivalry blockbuster surfaced after the NHL trade deadline, and Sportsnet insider Nick Kypreos says Matthew Knies may have been right in the middle of it.  According to Kypreos, the Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens held serious discussions about a potential deal that would have sent shockwaves through the league. The speculation gained traction after Canadiens general manager Kent Hughes revealed his team came extremely close to completing a trade that would ha...

Steelers sign breakout star running back

The Pittsburgh Steelers aren’t done making moves on the first day of legal tampering. Per Jordan Schultz, the Steelers are signing former Carolina Panthers running back Rico Dowdle. The South Carolina product rushed for over 1,000 yards in each of the last two seasons, averaging just under five yards per rush in each season. This […]

Insider Reveals 'Realistic Time Frame' For Brady Tkachuk To Decide on His Senators Future

It's been a couple of years now that people around the sport have questioned how long Brady Tkachuk will remain in Ottawa with the Senators . Rumors hit a fever pitch again after the Olympics, when the Team USA Gold Medal winner returned to play games in Canada and was met with boos and negative reactions around the country north of the border.  The Senators' captain vehemently denied any ill-feelings and professed his love for the team. But according to insider Pierre LeBrun in The Athle...

Flyers winger Alex Bump might get a longer look than expected

You couldn’t have written a better script for Flyers winger Alex Bump. From missing the initial calls from the Flyers saying he was getting called up for Saturday’s game against Pittsburgh, to scoring his first National Hockey League goal, to getting a paper mask after the game thanks to Nic Desaluriers’ luggage snafu, it was one to remember. It sounds like Bump isn’t going to be one-and-done, or two-and-done if head coach Rick Tocchet’s statements after practice Monday is any measuring stick....

Flyers vs. Rangers: How to watch, lineups, and gamethread

The Philadelphia Flyers (a not-so-good team in the NHL) are hosting the New York Rangers (a bad team in the NHL) on Monday night as we count down the days left in this season. And these two teams aren’t bad and mediocre in an exciting way — so this might be a slog to watch. Puck drop:  7:00 p.m. How to watch/listen: 📺: NBCSP+ 📻: 93.3 WMMR Pregame reading Jamie Drysdale got into his first career fight at the game on Saturday, and he loved every second of it. Just anot...

The good and the bad from Ohio State women’s Big Ten Tournament

The first round of postseason basketball is in the books for Ohio State women’s basketball. After the Buckeyes missed a top-four spot and double-bye, head coach Kevin McGuff’s side won its first two games only to earn the right to face the nationally No. 2 ranked UCLA Bruins in a repeat outcome from their regular […]
