It was an uncomfortable situation going on in Edmonton, to say the least. When word got out that the Oilers had asked for permission to speak with top available coach Bruce Cassidy—while their own head coach was still employed—it became an untenable situation. The Oil have finally put Knoblauch out of his misery, and on Thursday morning word has dropped that they have officially "relieved him of his coaching duties." He got the word last night. The Edmonton Oilers have relieved Kri...

The Rangers should be on the phone with San Jose about trading up for the second overall pick, Benoit Allaire is retiring and going straight to Valhalla, and Chip dropped an Adam Fox trade proposal that both guys would actually do.
There’s been no lack of controversy surrounding the Edmonton Oilers, Vegas Golden Knights, and Bruce Cassidy. Late in the regular season, the Golden Knights fired Cassidy after struggling post-Olympic break. It has worked out for the Golden Knights, as they are just one win away from reaching the Western Conference Final after hiring John Tortorella….
The 2026 NFL regular season schedule will be officially announced tonight at 8:00 pm Eastern. Both NFL Network and ESPN will be covering the schedule release. Of course we already know the 17 Jets opponents for the upcoming season. We also know whether these will be home or road games. All we really are discovering […]
It’s not unusual for a head coach on the hot seat to say he isn’t worried about his job. And it’s not unusual for upper management and sporting directors to mumble supportive things about such a head coach. Yet despite Liverpool’s massively disappointing 2025-26 season, that the club look tired and without a tactical identity […]
Ben Kindel picked up votes and finished ninth in the Calder voting. The award was announced early and handed to the unanimous winner, Matthew Schaefer live on national television. Considering Kindel in his draft+1 wasn’t even expected to be in the NHL until his training camp performance forced his way into the picture, it’s a […]
Why Toronto was still in the bowl for the second pick, where exactly the Rangers' Dallas pick will land, and why being head coach in Hartford is not really a stepping stone to the NHL. The latest Ombudsman Report has the receipts.
The New York Knicks are off to the Eastern Conference Finals once again after a sweep of the Philadelphia 76ers. The presence of Villanova is felt each time the Knicks step on the floor and it has been enhanced in the postseason. The Wildcat trio got to advance on the floor at Xfinity Mobile Arena, […]

The NHL coaching carousel is moving fast this week, and one of its most interesting rumors out there involves a coach who has not officially been fired but is being treated around the league as if he already has been.
Kris Knoblauch is still technically the head coach of the Edmonton Oilers .
He is also widely expected to be let go by the end of the week, per multiple reports, with the Oilers' pursuit of Bruce Cassidy having leaked publicly before any formal announcement was made.
Now th...
A daily roundup of Jets, Moose coverage — all the pro hockey news that matters in Manitoba and beyond.
Good morning Gang Green Nation! The NFL will release the 2026 schedule for all 32 teams today. If history is any indicator, most of the schedule will be leaked prior to the official release. Personally, I have a difficult time getting too invested in this stuff. We have known the full slate of home and […]
Tampa Bay Lightning general manager Julien BriseBois is doing his best to lower the expectations of fans when it comes to a big free-agent splash. Honestly, based on the talent available, there is no reason for anyone’s expectations to be above mildly intrigued by this class. If all the Lightning do is re-sign Darren Raddysh, an argument can be made that they nabbed one of the top players available.
That’s not fun, though, right? The Lightning have some cash, well, cap space, and some nee...
Charlie Coyle had options.
Lots of them.
Don Waddell made that clear when he announced that the Columbus Blue Jackets had signed the veteran center to a six-year, $36 million extension through the 2031-32 season.
"I've had probably 10-12 calls in the last couple of weeks about what our plans were with Charlie and would we consider trading his rights," Waddell said.
The answer was no every time. Newly re-signed #CBJ Charlie Coyle joined the show to talk about his team's head coach Rick ...
You expected some fight for the rest of the game. Just a little bit of something going their way to prevent catastrophe, but no. The Minnesota Wild laid down and relaxed for most of Game 5 and were quickly eliminated in ruthless fashion by the Colorado Avalanche and their season is over.

Former Baylor guard Tounde Yessoufou made it clear Wednesday at the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago that his current focus remains on turning professional rather than returning to college basketball. Speaking with CBS Sports national college basketball writer Isaac Trotter, Yessoufou addressed the possibility of returning to the college level after entering both the NBA […]
*Yesterday it was Rick Tocchet’s turn to face the media for the exit interviews, and we definitely learned some things. Like, for example, what he plans to do to try and fix the Flyers’ offensive problems. Goals would be good! [ BSH ]

*Anyway it was quite a lot of chatting and quite a lot of insight from the coach. We love to see it. Hear it, rather. [ Inquirer ]
