Allowing too many goals has been a major problem for the Penguins. As recently as March 3rd, the team was sitting sixth in the NHL with 2.78 goals against per game. In the last 11 games since then, that’s gone out the window – the Pens sit 31st over the last three weeks with an […]
Leadership runs through every layer of the Minnesota Wild. From the front office to the locker room, it’s a major driver of the team’s consistency and competitiveness on the ice. Under President of Hockey Operations and General Manager Bill Guerin, the organization has intentionally built a culture...
**photo above via the site of the University of St. Thomas – TommieSports.com and taken by Nick Wosika** The True North organization dipped into the undrafted free agent pool resulting from the conclusion of the NCAA hockey season ( at least for the non-playoff teams ). This time GM Kevin Cheveldayoff inked a 24 yr forward from the University of St. Thomas named Lucas Wahlin . The Minnesota-born winger signed a one year contract with the Winnipeg Jets, starting in the 2026-27 NHL sea...
A lightly attended skate today in Winnipeg after last night's big win over Vegas.
The NBA is about to get a whole lot more interesting. After plenty of foreshadowing that this would be coming, Shams Charania of ESPN reported on Wednesday that the league’s owners had voted for the next step toward expansion in fielding bids and applicants. This would add two more teams to the Western Conference, and […]
The Edmonton Oilers loaned forward James Hamblin back to the AHL’s Bakersfield Condors on Wednesday morning. Hamblin was recalled from the Condors on an emergency basis on Tuesday ahead of the Oilers’ contest against the Utah Mammoth. The 26-year-old travelled to Utah, but did not play, as the Oilers defeated the Mammoth 5-2. The decision…

With the 2025 Texas Rangers season having come to an end, we shall be, over the course of the offseason, taking a look at every player who appeared in a major league game for the Texas Rangers in 2025. Today we are looking at pitcher Jacob Latz. The 2017 draft didn’t work out too well for […]
You would go crazy trying to figure out why the Edmonton Oilers’ range of play has been so volatile this season. Some games they look like a team destined for the draft lottery, and others, like last night, remind you why overlooking them to make another deep playoff run is foolish. The Oilers controlled the…
Built on defense, development, and patience, Drew Fortescue now gets his opportunity with the Rangers at just the right time.
They want to get to third place in the division, and they have a lot of work to get that done.
Former Pittsburgh Pirate and National League MVP, Andrew McCutchen, will be on the opening day roster for the Texas Rangers. This will be McCutchen’s 18th MLB season. After going most of the offseason with little to no communication from Pittsburgh’s front office McCutchen signed a minor league deal with the Rangers on March 6. The […]
He still has some time before he’s a full-time member of the Philadelphia Flyers, but for the time being, 2024 second-round draft pick Jack Berglund’s development is heading in the right direction according to his current head coach in the SHL. Cam Abbott, who became Farjestads BK’s head coach in January after the team fired the previous coach, briefly discussed the center’s progress in the relatively short time he’s been coaching the 19-year-old native of Karlstad, Sweden. In an intervie...

The 24-year-old has turned his season around, and the Senators find themselves back in playoff positioning largely because of it.
The Oilers needed a win on Tuesday to avoid falling into a three-game skid, but nobody needed one more than Tristan Jarry. The goaltender Edmonton acquired to stabilize things between the pipes had been pushed into a backup role earlier this month following a 7-2 loss to the Dallas Stars. The former Penguin posted a…
A lot has been made about the misery that the Philadelphia Flyers season has been, but it doesn’t take long to realize that it could be a lot worse. Such as, not having your next two first-round draft picks and potentially sinking your entire organization into a state of mediocrity despite having some of the best players in the world on your hockey team. Famously, the Flyers do own the Toronto Maple Leafs’ 2027 first-round draft pick after somehow convincing them that forward Scott Laught...
Stephon Castle is having himself a season. He has followed up his Rookie of the Year with improvements to every aspect of this game. Averaging 16.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 7.1 assists sounds great, but for a player like Castle, it just doesn’t tell the whole story. Currently, he doesn’t shoot particularly well, averaging a […]

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous about Tuesday’s game against the Mammoth, given how poorly the Edmonton Oilers had played in their last two games, but to our collective delight, we saw a much different team against Utah. Unlike what we got against Florida and Tampa Bay, the Oilers were much tighter…
Over the next few months, we’ll be breaking down all of the players added by the Jets during free agency and in the legal tampering window. We continue today with defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick. The 29-year old Fitzpatrick is listed at 6’1” and 202 pounds and was the 11th overall pick out of Alabama in […]
Your #20 Oregon Ducks faced off against the UC San Diego Tritons on Tuesday night, looking to keep the momentum going after a successful 8 game homestand, in which they went 7-1. It was a pitchers’ duel to start off the ballgame, with Oregon’s first baserunner not coming until the 3rd inning. Oregon would finally […]
For a second there, it seemed like everything was breaking their way. When the Flyers headed into the locker room at the end of the first period, with a 1-0 lead over the Blue Jackets and a host of their competition for playoff spots in the Eastern Conference losing their games at the same time, it seemed like they had all the momentum. Sean Couturier scored his eighth goal of the year while looking like his old self, and the Flyers largely dominated a period that could h...
Morning, all! Shawn McFarland completes his prospect countdown at number 1 with Sebastian Walcott, who became the first teenager to start at shortstop in Frisco since Jurickson Profar… and if that’s not a good omen, I don’t know what is. McFarland also has the best pitches in the Ranger rotation as voted on by the […]
