After rejoining the NHL’s hockey operations department, Brendan Shanahan looks like a short-term league hire with a long-term goal of running a team again. Among the suitors, the Buffalo Sabres stand out from the pack, edging the Chicago Blackhawks and Nashville Predators thanks to multiple factors. League chatter, and Sportsnet's Nick Kypreos suggests Shanahan would listen, provided he gets Toronto Maple Leafs -style autonomy. Why Buffalo Stands Out Over Chicago and Nashville The Sa...
The Buffalo Sabres have had mixed results early on this season, and this is made apparent by their 5-5-4 record. The Sabres’ shaky start currently has them at the bottom of the Atlantic Division standings, which is bad news for a team looking to break its 14-year playoff drought. If the Sabres are unable to move up in the standings as the season continues, they will likely be sellers this campaign. Because of this, let’s look at three Sabres who could be traded if things don’t improve in...

Although the team needs to address several issues, there are at least three free-agent players that could fit within the Pirates’ offseason plans.

After falling in a four-set battle against Northwestern, Maryland volleyball hopes to snap its four-game losing streak while defending its home court with back-to-back weekend games against Ohio State and Michigan. Historically, Maryland has struggled against both programs, with an 8-17 record against the Buckeyes and a 3-18 record against the Wolverines. But the Terps […]
After a sobering defeat at the hands of a division rival, “5 Questions” is back with an opportunity for revenge. This week, we had the pleasure of connecting with Andrew York of Hogs Haven to give us some insight into the team responsible for ending the Lions season last year: the Washington Commanders. We talked […]
A big difference between last year’s Kentucky team and this year’s Kentucky team is that this team isn’t playing its best basketball right now. Last year’s team peaked in non-conference play. However, it’s a good thing this Wildcats team isn’t playing its best right now. They’re still playing good basketball, and they’re going to get […]
Folks,,, I know it’s been a bit of a hiatus from an Opponent Q&A perspective, but I’m happy to be back for what will surely be a straightforward, easy, boring game against the Navy Midshipmen for our Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team, per usual in this annual rivalry game. Our Fighting Irish won an […]

Jaelen Phillips didn't take a swipe at the Dolphins fan base that already misses him, but he may have taken a backhanded swipe at the team that traded him.
Happy Friday, everyone. It’s a fairly straightforward day on the site! Barring any breaking news, our primary piece will see Jeremy grading Jazz Chisholm Jr.‘s 30/30 campaign for our Report Cards series.

Mitch Barnhart has built one of the longest-running tenures in college athletics. He’s made strong hires, Kenny Brooks, Nick Mingione, and John Calipari among them, and overseen major success across Kentucky’s athletic department. But his legacy isn’t spotless. The Kyra Elzy extension, NIL growing pains, Joker Phillips, and the Billy Gillispie fiasco all left marks. […]
When Kaiden Guhle broke into the NHL with the Montreal Canadiens back in 2022, he was immediately thrust into a situation that was not conducive to success for a rookie defenceman in the NHL. Newly acquired Mike Matheson missed the a good chunk of the opening of the season, as did Joel Edmundson, leaving Martin St-Louis’s defence core with veterans David Savard and Chris Wideman, sophomore Jonathan Kovacevic, and a group of rookies including Guhle himself. Fully in a rebuild after finishi...
*The Philadelphia Flyers won the hockey game. Matvei Michkov finally scored a second goal. And Travis Konecny scored a goal too. Sometimes, things are good. RECAP ! *Obviously heading into this season there was a ton of focus on the Flyers’ urgent need to improve their power play. So far, they’ve done it! But they’ve also REALLY improved the penalty kill. A lot. [ BSH ] *Speaking of improvement, turns out all of those folks yelling about putting Cam York on the power play over the la...
