  • Milan Celebrini

    It is officially the Celebrini show! It was announced Macklin Celebrini made the Team Canada roster for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, Italy. It is good for him, quite add, but people in NHL circles, know just how great Celebrini is.

    Call in Jonathan Toews and Sidney Crosby to name a few. Toews, Crosby, and others have never made Team Canada in their teens, and that is not a perpetual understatement.

    As fans are starting to see with Celebrini, Matthew Schaefer and Connor Bedard, teens can perfect incredible stuff on the ice. Fortunately for Celebrini, he received a phone call from an executive of Team Canada and the St. Louis Blues, Doug Armstrong.

    Armstrong delivered the news and based off Celebrini’s remarks, he could just remember the conversation he had with his parents, Rick and Robyn, following the news about Milan Cortina.

    Drew Doughty leaves no doubts that Celebrini can play freely and to the aid, like with the San Jose Sharks. With a -15 team goal differential, Celebrini is hitting a high plateau of +13 difference. He is also trailing just Nathan MacKinnon and Connor McDavid in current NHL points (62).

    Toews is the only Triple Gold club winner and has hugely extolled the play of Celebrini. There are so many endless factors to the prestigious truth and greatness of Celebrini and Team Canada.

  • Woah, Colorado Avalanche!

    The Colorado Avalanche are coming. They are coming to steal lunch money, sing trick-or treat, or run through the trenches which the Avalanche have this season.

    This season, the Avalanche possess a 29-2 record and show no signs of stopping heading into the new year. They are led by the eventual Hart and James Norris candidates Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar.

    They are also led by two net minders in goal, Scott Wedgewood and MacKenzie Blackwood. Wedgewood has been the biggest difference maker, earning a whopping 17 wins, 2.13 GAA, and .919 SV%.

    It is also no big coincidence that Martin Necas and Brent Burns have been coming up huge. The new bench depth has not taken a seat to MacKinnon and Cale Makar and have proved dividends, otherwise.

    There is an apparent shift on Doppler 5 and it appears headed towards a Colorado Avalanche! Let’s just hope the Colorado Rockies can swoop things up, as well.

  • Edmonton Oilers Acquire Tristan Jarry

    The Edmonton Oilers have acquired Tristan Jarry for Stuart Skinner, Brett Kulak, and a 2029 second round pick.

    Jarry returns to his home country as he, also, played for the CHL Edmonton Oil Kings and led them to the Memorial Cup. He is off to a fantastic start this season.

    Jarry has a 9-3-1 record to go with 2.66 GAA and .909% save percentage (top-15). This deal makes absolute sense for the Pittsburgh Penguins since Kyle Dubas managed to extend Jarry inadvertently.

    Much can be said for the consignment of where this leads. The Oilers are off its worst start since entering the Stanley Cup race and they need Jarry more than Skinner right now.

  • Chicago Blackhawks are Making a Promising Comeback

    The Chicago Blackhawks were the pride of Chicago for half a decade. They competed with the likes of Duncan Keith, Jonathan Toews, Andrew Shaw, and Patrick Kane. Fast forward to now, they have suddenly picked up speed, especially with third-year player Connor Bedard leading the league through 16 games in active points streaked, primary points, and points.

    He did have a dump off last year but now Bedard is starting the season better than ever with some promising hopes.

    Beginning with Andrei Burakovksy, he has played solid staying up to par with Bedard on the top line. Without him, he would not be Bedard’s Leon to McDavid.

    Another factor is Oliver Moore being promoted to the NHL. He is a highly touted prospect and even though Macklin Celebrini just tied Sidney Cosby for most points by a teenager through his first 16 games, trailing Wayne Gretzky. Moore would make up for, thereof, talent sitting with another player quietly sitting on the power play, Artyom Levshunov.

    Overall, the Chicago Blackhawks currently possess a 8-5 record and have a chance to make some noise in the city of Chicago, again.

  • Carter Hart Becomes Reinstated to Play for Golden Knights

    Carter Hart is headed to the Vegas Golden Knights. This stems after Hart and four other college alum were caught in a scandal.

    Hart is no longer acquitted and has started on a ‘tryout’ reinstatement basis. He was a former Flyers goalie who showed waves of improvement at the time.

    Now, he must try to reapply himself to play NHL hockey.

  • ND Lose to Carson Beck Podcast Highlights

    Due to podcast technical difficulties, here are the latest highlights from Sports Kingdom.

    ND lost to Carson Beck. Beck had a nice game but not enough in his draft stock. Less far, to take it easy on most of week 1 projected star’s performance. CJ Carr recorded a nice 1:15 drive and QB draw less than five men in the box for Notre Dame’s defense. Miami alumni and defensive line ultimately came away strong.

    Phillies lost to the Braves. Luzardo can go play for AAA. His sharp looks do not buy me any since landing in Miami. It will be interesting to see Walker Buehler appear in a Phillies uniform. Other than that, Braves pitched well into 9K of the innings.

    Walker Jenkins is being raved for his strong performance down in the minors much so like Aaron Judge when it comes to his physical tools. Nobody will ever defeat Judge’s promise. Everyone is split on 20 year old’s rising to the big leagues so soon such as Francisco Alvarez being a prime example and falling flat.

    Flyers rank respectively 7th in pipeline rankings. Three things stood out. The puck skills are off the chart for some such as Michkov and Martino who has barely played a game. What is more fascinating they have a better coach with veteran experience to work with, now, alongside Jamie Drysdale and some other good skaters.

    Daron Bland signs a Cowboys extension worth $50 million guaranteed. Trey Hendrickson adds to the bonus by signing a one-year holdout contract with the Cincinnati Bengals.

    In the end, the Bengals won.
