The Pittsburgh Penguins missed the playoffs last season for the second year in a row for a few reasons and today we focus on the roster’s depth chart. More specifically of the depth chart was the lack of toughness that plagued the team in 2023-24. Physicality is an underrated part of hockey and can change momentum. A fight, a hit, or even screening the goalie are all important. There were a couple reasons for the Penguins struggles including an abysmal power play, but here we focus on the bottom six. They need to avoid getting pushed around and be more physical including a stronger net front presence.

It’s been a tough summer for the Toronto Blue Jays. Even when the Blue Jays welcomed Yimi García back from the 15-day injured list, another injury occurred. Last night, Blue Jays All-Star shortstop Bo Bichette exited the game after the sixth inning. Bichette limped out of the batter’s box after hitting a line drive to right field. It was announced after the game that Bichette suffered a right calf injury. This was the same calf strain Bichette dealt with, ultimately landing him on the injured list last month. His setback has now forced the Blue Jays to place Bichette back on the IL. Addison Barger is back up.

The Dallas Cowboys defense has been questionable in many of their games this past season. Most notably, the Cowboys failed to secure a win in their wild card playoff game against the Green Bay Packers. A majority of that loss stems from their inability to stop the run game. Aaron Jones was able to produce 118 yards and three touchdowns. However, there’s hope for a change this season. Here are the five players on the Dallas Cowboys defense to watch this training camp and preseason.

Earlier in the offseason, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York said the Los Angeles Lakers were considering moving star Anthony Davis back to his natural power forward position. In order for the team to officially make this move, however, they need to bring in a reliable center who can make an impact on the court. The team drafted Collin Castleton in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft, but he is on a two-way contract and likely will not play much during his rookie season. Additionally, Christian Wood and Jaxson Hayes are still on the team. However, neither big man is good enough to become a regular starter on the team. Currently, the market for centers is relatively thin. However, ESPN’s Brian Windhorst recently said he “wouldn’t rule out” the possibility of the Lakers adding big man Jonas Valanciunas, likely during next season.
