The Rangers’ playoff path: Analyzing schedule difficulty, rival teams, key players

If any one of the NHL teams fighting for the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference had gotten hot over the past few weeks, it would probably have a spot close to secured. But that simply has not happened, leaving a jumble of clubs with middling records still in contention.The New York Rangers, of course, are one of them.AdvertisementThrough Sunday, the Montreal Canadiens have 77 points and sit in the second wild-card spot. The Rangers hold the same number of points but have played one more game (74 to 73), so their points percentage is worse. The Columbus Blue Jackets are two points back at 75 but have played one fewer game (72) than the Canadiens and two fewer than the Rangers. The Detroit Red Wings and the New York Islanders both have 74 points in 73 games.None of […]

Blackhawks’ Oliver Moore, Sam Rinzel show promise in NHL debuts: 20 thoughts

There was definitely a buzz about the Chicago Blackhawks game Sunday that has often been lacking this season. First-round picks Oliver Moore and Sam Rinzel brought anticipation and excitement to United Center as they made their NHL debuts.By all accounts, Moore and Rinzel didn’t disappoint.“Yeah, lots to like,” Blackhawks interim coach Anders Sörensen said. “I thought Rinzel really (had an) attack mindset. I think he had three or four Grade-A chances offensively, did a lot of good things. Oliver, too. Under pressure, made a lot of plays. They were good. I liked their game.”AdvertisementWe’ll see what the rest of the season brings, but there were a lot of positives they can build on. That and plenty more in this edition of Powers Thoughts:1. Rinzel especially had people talking after his game. He had his share of impressive plays Sunday, but none […]

Veteran James van Riemsdyk feels the squeeze of Blue Jackets’ roster glut

COLUMBUS, Ohio — James van Riemsdyk has been around long enough to understand the situation. But that doesn’t mean the Columbus Blue Jackets’ 35-year-old winger has to like it.Not only did the Blue Jackets add two veteran forwards at the NHL trade deadline, they’re healthier than they’ve been all season. It’s so crowded in the dressing room that defenseman Jordan Harris and forward Jack Williams are dressing in temporary stalls.AdvertisementAnd if you think the room is crowded, you should see coach Dean Evason’s lineup card.That’s how van Riemsdyk has become the odd man out, drawing a healthy scratch in the last two games and possibly a third when the Blue Jackets host the Nashville Predators on Tuesday in Nationwide Arena. After Monday’s practice, Evason said he was still deciding on a lineup.“(A decision regarding van Riemsdyk) is one of the […]

Rudy Gobert is standing tall for Timberwolves when they need him most

On the Detroit Pistons’ second possession of the game against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday, Pistons center Jalen Duren took the ball right at reigning Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert, putting an elbow into Gobert’s throat as he powered to the rim for a bucket.Gobert grabbed at his Adam’s apple, shook his head and collected himself as he headed back up the court. A message had been delivered by the young, fiery Pistons. They were down two of their best players in Cade Cunningham and Tobias Harris, but they were still coming for the Timberwolves’ necks.AdvertisementOn the next trip down the floor, Gobert set a hard screen on Ausar Thompson to spring Julius Randle. He then rolled to the basket to catch a lob for his second dunk of the game, sending a message of his own. The […]

What’s on the horizon for USC and JuJu Watkins after raising the bar this season?

SPOKANE, Wash. — When Rayah Marshall and Clarice Akunwafo came to USC in 2021, the Trojans were in a rut. The pair of top-30 recruits committed to a program that hadn’t made the NCAA Tournament in seven years.Coach Lindsay Gottlieb’s arrival brought some hope, but signs of progress were slow. USC drew just more than 1,000 people at its home arena only five times that season. The shining moment of that campaign came in January, when the Trojans upset then-No. 4 Arizona, the national title runner-up from the previous year, in a game played in front of no fans due to the omicron wave of the coronavirus. Nevertheless, it became a reference point.Advertisement“I grabbed those two and said, ‘Hey, enjoy this. At some point, we are going to be that team that other people are trying to beat,’” Gottlieb said.Her […]

Souza aponta clube do Brasil refém de jogador: “Não deveria”

Souza ao vivo (foto: reprodução) O futebol brasileiro tem clubes que não impõem a própria grandeza nas relações profissionais com os jogadores. É o que opina Souza. Na edição desta segunda-feira (31) do programa Os Donos da Bola, da TV Bandeirantes, o ex-jogador analisou que o Santos tem que cobrar mais profissionalismo, por parte de Neymar. “Não deveria ser refém de um atleta igual o Neymar. O Santos é muito maior que ele, mas infelizmente os clubes se apequenaram e aí tornam o jogador maior que o clube”, iniciou o ídolo da torcida do São Paulo. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE Souza também avaliou que Neymar não tem um bom comportamento extra-campo. “Ele precisa ser mais comprometido com a saúde”, opinou. Neymar foi notícia, nas últimas semanas, por ter se machucado dias antes da semifinal de Campeonato Paulista entre Corinthians e Santos. PUBLICIDADE […]

Despite Oilers’ injury woes, Mattias Ekholm keeps his focus on the near future

EDMONTON — As training camp was winding down and the Edmonton Oilers were viewed as Presidents’ Trophy favourites, Mattias Ekholm felt regular-season supremacy could be particularly beneficial.The Oilers have never had home-ice advantage beyond the first round in the Connor McDavid era. Ekholm, the stalwart defenceman, couldn’t help but wonder if the result of Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final might have been different if the contest had taken place in Edmonton. For all the praise the Oilers received for rebounding from their 2-9-1 start last season, that early dip cost them a better place in the standings.AdvertisementIt seemed like they were on the right track this season until the end of January. They were third in the NHL with a .670 points percentage heading into their Jan. 30 contest against the Detroit Red Wings.The Oilers have won just […]

Why Rick Tocchet could make sense as the Flyers’ next coach

The fit seems natural. Rick Tocchet, whose tenure as the head coach of the Vancouver Canucks could come to an end in a few weeks, returning to fill the coaching vacancy in the city in which he began his NHL career and where he essentially was the embodiment of what it meant to be a Philadelphia Flyer in the late 1980s and early 1990s.AdvertisementThat is, a player who could score, yes, but also would also do anything for his teammates, including dropping his gloves on a not-infrequent basis. Tocchet is still 10th overall in penalty minutes in league history (2,970) and had 440 career goals — the former number just as important as the latter to a certain, albeit perhaps diminishing, generation of Flyers fans.The odds-makers believe it’s a possibility. According to FanDuel (per TSN), Tocchet is the favorite to […]

2025 NFL Draft: First-round trades we want to see

Chicago could make a play for the class’ top-ranked pass rusher: With how the first four picks may shake out, a deal to acquire Abdul Carter with the No. 5 pick could very well be in play for the Bears. The Chargers should be aggressive in targeting a receiver: While the cost of doing business may seem high, the value lies in maximizing quarterback Justin Herbert's prime. Estimated Reading Time: 7 minutes Last year's NFL draft did not disappoint in the trade department, with eight deals going down in Round 1 — three as a result of prior negotiations, including the Bears selecting No. 1 overall and another five coming on draft day itself. NFL teams love to wheel and deal once the clock starts ticking. Here are four first-round trade ideas that could shake up the 2025 NFL Draft […]
