Detroit's decade-long playoff drought persists as offense stalls

Detroit missed the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the 10th straight season, the NHL's longest active drought, after a late-season slide and a stagnant offense that averaged 2.59 goals per game since Jan. 24. Veterans underperformed even as the team posted a higher points percentage (.569) and stars like DeBrincat, Larkin and Seider delivered career highs. While the season exposed scoring woes and close-call losses, Detroit can take optimism from a rising youth movement and a strong prospect pipeline heading toward 2026-27.

UFC White House Makeover: Jones–Pereira Could Headline a Reworked Card

A mailbag-style piece argues UFC White House can’t be rebuilt from scratch, but it can be salvaged by retooling key matchups (making Jones vs. Pereira the new main event and moving Topuria vs. Gaethje to the co-main), adding a few marquee fights (e.g., Bo Nickal vs. Gable Steveson; Derrick Lewis) and even joking about a Dana White–Eddie Hearn boxing crossover inside the cage. It also tackles MMA scoring under new rules, speculates on MVP Netflix cards, and invites questions on related combat-sports topics like walkout songs.
