Does the Rangers' Matt Rempe even play hockey?; Pittsburgh's run seems to be ending; The Avs go on a bender
It was natural to think the New York Rangers “got it” after they traded in the misguided clenched jaw ways of Gerrard Gallant behind the bench for the usually up-tempo ways of Peter Laviolette after the Devils essentially skated them out of the building last spring in the first round. The Devils wer...
Say what you want about the NBA, it still values its titans
For all the misguided complaints about the melodrama that can be the NBA at times, or the claims that its “wokeness” will be its ruin, or how the league beats itself up over load management or whatever else, it still offers something that none of the other three non-NFL leagues can. And that’s regul...

The Devils waited too long to make a change
It was only slightly over a year ago that New Jersey Devils fans were apologizing en masse to Lindy Ruff. They had called for his head early last season, and then when the Devils caught fire they all were ready to admit they had egg on their face. New Jersey would go on to the second round of the pl...

MLB uniform controversy; Scott Boras finally succeeds; Trouble brewing for USWNT?
While see-through pants have been the talk of spring training so far, that might not matter as much to fans (at least non-evangelical ones, Woe to Cardinals Nation), as fans don’t tend to want to buy the pants the players are wearing. Maybe you’ve got use for baseball pants in your everyday life, an...
Finally time for the Winnipeg Jets?; Let's hand out some NHL awards; Remember Wayne Gretzky as a Blue?
The Winnipeg Jets are in first place. The Jets have a legitimate shot at the Stanley Cup. They have the league’s best goalie, they have depth scoring. They can win a track meet if opponents want to play that way. They can grind out chances along the boards and in the corners if that’s what’s asked. ...
This may upset Rob Manfred, but starting pitchers are not ever going to be what they used to be
It’s easy to say that MLB gets too caught up in its past and tries too hard to be the game it once was. A major part of baseball’s charm is its connection to its past. While the other sports don’t look anything like they did even 20 or 30 years ago, baseball doesn’t ever move too far from what it’s ...
NHL could learn from new women's hockey league playoff and draft formats
The PWHL has accomplished a lot even though it’s only been in existence for a few months. It has set records for attendance. It has sealed the cracks in women’s hockey that had formed. It has given momentum to women’s hockey below the international level, which had been stuck in neutral thanks to sp...
Are we doing this with the Winnipeg Jets again?

MLB teams can get their old jerseys back as long as they annoy Nike and Fanatics
While see-through pants have been the talk of spring training so far, that might not matter as much to fans (at least non-evangelical ones, Woe to Cardinals Nation), as fans don’t tend to want to buy the pants the players are wearing.

You probably forgot these NHL players were on these teams
The NHL has seen some greats that stick out for their time with one specific franchise. What if we told you that they didn’t only play for that one team? Remember when Bruins Legend Bobby Orr was a Blackhawk? Us either. Here is a list of players you might not remember making the rosters of other tea...
Deadspin presents the Two-Thirds Through the Season NHL Awards
After working up a third of a season award post just so my editor would have something to publish during the Holidays, it only seems right that we do an equally meaningless one with some teams having cracked 60 games played. No, 82 doesn’t divide evenly by three, and there really isn’t a distinctive...
The New York Rangers are the NHL's hottest team

RIP the 12-team College Football Playoff
Hours after it was announced that the College Football Playoff would adopt a 5+7 format, the conference commissioners leaked that 14- and 16-team formats have been discussed. Jim Phillips, ACC commissioner and captain of a drowning vessel, said “At the end of the day, it’s about the right model.” Th...

NHL 'tough guys' are always cheapshot artists; The cause of increased scoring revealed
For a sport that really loves to tout how tough its players are, hockey players don’t seem to have much tolerance for anything that makes them feel bad in the slightest. At least on the ice. Morgan Rielly of Toronto was just the latest to wet himself when an opponent reminded him just a little too m...
