Only one preseason game remains. After today’s practice, only one remains until the regular season starts. In a mere five days the Penguins will begin the 2026-2027 season in Philadelphia. The Penguins roster cuts were coming with Monday’s deadline approaching, and Pittsburgh made another round just before Friday’s practice started. Penguins Roster Cuts Send Avery...

On Monday and Tuesday this week the Penguins played their first two games of the preseason. We have seen basically every player with the exception of Erik Karlsson get their first game action of the season. Through two games, my Pittsburgh Penguins preseason takeaways are pretty clear: Nick Robertson looks like a real fit with...

The shortened version of training camp came and went. The Penguins enjoyed their three straight days of camp, Penguins training camp 2026 gave us three full group practices from Thursday through Saturday before Sunday’s day off. A few things were learned, but too many doors are left open too. Penguins Training Camp 2026 Put Prospects...

Week 3 is where these rankings finally start becoming more than preseason opinions with a couple box scores attached. We have teams with real wins now, teams with losses that actually need explained, and Oregon dropping 84 points one week after losing to Oklahoma State because college football has absolutely no interest in making this...

Yesterday was a big day in the NHL. It was the last day of the old CBA. This is relevant because contract structures have completely changed. As of today, players can no longer sign for eight years, nor can they have extremely front-loaded contracts via the way of signing bonuses. Like always, deadlines spur action...

Week 2 is where September rankings started getting mean. Ohio State had Texas buried 23-3 entering the fourth quarter and somehow lost. Oregon went to Oklahoma State as a 22-point favorite and lost to a program that had dropped 21 straight games against FBS teams. Michigan spent all week getting laughed at for needing a...

Saturday afternoon finally gave us Penguins hockey again.. well, Penguins prospect hockey. The Pittsburgh Penguins prospect tournament opened with a 2-1 shootout win over Columbus, and the score really doesn’t show how much Pittsburgh controlled the game. Tomas Galvas was the biggest standout, the Ruck twins finally got to play together, Tanner Howe was everywhere,...

Ryan Day should have to find his own ride home from Austin. The Ohio State Texas loss should get him fired. The Buckeyes led 23-3 entering the fourth quarter, had No. 4 Texas buried for three quarters and somehow left DKR with a 24-23 loss. AP’s Jim Vertuno reported, citing Sportradar, that Texas’ 20-point rally...

The season is rapidly approaching. The Penguins get three straight full practice days to open camp, then the schedule turns into four preseason games, two more practices, morning skates and off days before the September 30 opener. Sidney Crosby will likely dress in one or two of those games. Like every other year, Crosby was...

Pittsburgh Penguins informal skates are underway as players start making their way back to town before training camp. Across the NHL, summer is ending fast and real hockey is finally close enough to feel. The captains are holding informal practices across the entire NHL for everyone back in town. Sidney Crosby is amongst the captains...

The Patriots Seahawks Super Bowl rematch ended with Seattle beating New England 13-10 after the Patriots blew a 10-0 lead. Somehow that score barely explains how annoying this loss should be for Patriots fans. Seattle raised its Super Bowl banner before the game after beating New England 29-13 in February. Then Sam Darnold hurt his...

Every year right before training camp the Penguins send a roster of prospects to compete against other team’s prospect pool. For many years, the Penguins didn’t have too much in terms of talent to send. The tides are shifting the Penguins 2026 prospect tournament roster is absolutely loaded, with the Ruck twins, Harrison Brunicke, Bill...

Week 1 rankings are supposed to be a little irresponsible. We have one game for most of these teams, two for a couple of them, and somehow we’re already supposed to know who is winning the national championship, who is fraudulent and which quarterback should start shopping for a tuxedo in December. Perfect. Let’s rank...

This week people who had the misfortune of pre-ordering NHL Deluxe 27 were able to play their copies a week earlier than people who waited for the public release. The reviews began to pour in via X the everything app and boy oh boy were they not nice! This isn’t necessarily shocking to hockey fans,...

Ohio State vs Texas was always going to be the real Week 1 conversation for the Buckeyes, and after a 56-3 opening win over Ball State, we at least have a much better idea of what Ohio State is bringing to Austin. Nobody should pretend Ball State tells us Ohio State is definitely the best...

The New Jersey Devils offseason started with a mess to clean up after a team that looked primed to make a run completely fell apart last season. Then they couldn’t get a save. Then Jack Hughes cut himself with a steak knife at dinner (yes, this happened). There was basically a season long standoff with...

At some point the “clean slate” thing stops sounding like good coaching and starts sounding like you’re trying REALLY hard not to know something. Todd Monken said he really hasn’t gone back and studied the old Deshaun Watson tape from Cleveland, aside from seeing some of it from afar when he was with Baltimore. I...

The LSU SEC expulsion conversation has somehow gone from a fight over former pro players to other SEC schools reportedly discussing whether they should just REFUSE TO PLAY LSU. And I’m sorry.. I know there are probably 400 lawyers having the worst week of their lives trying to figure all of this out, but I...
