UPDATE: Beating the tanking Nets just got easier for the Lakers. Luka Dončić and Rui Hachimura were originally listed as questionable to play, but have now been upgraded to available. Luka will now get one game closer to the 65-game threshold he must reach to be eligible for the end-of-season awards. Hachimura has missed the […]
The Nashville Predators have gotten themselves into the playoff race with better play in the latter half of the first half of the season, but this is still a team that needs some changes. There doesn't appear to be a change in emotion from Jonathan Marchessault and his willingness to be traded, but Ryan O'Reilly and Steven Stamkos like it much more in Nashville and with their situation. Nick Kypreos said, "Jonathan Marchessault is the player to watch here and probably more of a target for othe...
The Blackhawks los t again last night. The Bruins came in playing really well, and controlled most of the game even though the Hawks took a 2-0 lead in the first period. Where some of the Blackhawks’ problems have come in the last two games has been trying to do much. Jason Dickinson talked about maybe trying to do one thing too many too often. And his head coach agree that keeping things simple has worked — and the Hawks got away from that last night. “When you’re pressing instead of tak...
By Tuesday night’s UEFA Champions League clash at Bodo/Glimt, Marc Guehi could actually be an official Manchester City player. He is set to complete his medical any day now. Guehi would then be eligible for the domestic competitions (regulated by the FA) immediately, and then UCL in the later rounds. However, he wouldn’t be eligible […] The post Marc Guehi Could Play for Manchester City Next Weekend appeared first on The Sports Bank .
The Atlanta Hawks returned home to State Farm Arena on Saturday night but did not return to winning ways as they suffered a 132-106 defeat to the Boston Celtics in their first meeting of four this season. Jaylen Brown ignited for 41 points, while Sam Hauser added 30 points. For the Hawks, Onyeka Okongwu scored […]
The college football national championship game is almost upon us, and for the first time in what seems like forever, we won’t be seeing one of the same five teams take the field on Monday. Instead, we will be treated to a refreshing national championship featuring a team that has not won it since 2001, […]

The Toronto Maple Leafs are playing well, but they are caught competing in a very tough race for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Nevertheless, they are eight games above .500, and if they keep up the pace they're on or even just close to it, they will eventually separate and gain the upper hand on some of the teams around them. With that being said, the Maple Leafs are dealing with injuries to the defense in which they will have to address. This isn't a season in which the team can a...
The Miami Dolphins are set to hold at least one virtual head coaching interview on Sunday, meeting with Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady. They are also preparing their schedule for in-person interviews next week, moving into the second round of talks with potential hires. They lost one available candidate on Saturday, however, as the […]
On Thursday night, the Edmonton Oilers couldn’t buy themselves a goal. They got shut out 1-0 by Ilya Sorokin and the New York Islanders as Connor McDavid’s 20-game point streak came to a screeching halt. There was no lack of chances, however, as the Oilers poured on 35 shots, but they just couldn’t bear down…
A post–Letter 2.0 win over Philadelphia brought goals, firsts, and good vibes… which somehow feels like the least helpful outcome imaginable.
This weekend was the weekend of the aftermath of anger. Thursday night saw the Dodgers value Kyle Tucker at $60 million per season, handing him the short term contract he desired to play baseball in a low profile. Bo Bichette decided to take a player friendly deal with the Mets over the security of a […]
The San Francisco 49ers’ season came to an end in the NFC Divisional Round with a 41-6 loss against their division rival, the Seattle Seahawks. Normally, in these situations, you’d find me screaming at the TV about how much opportunity was squandered, the 49ers are underachieving, blah, blah, blah. Instead, I was happy. Very optimistic. […]
Prior to getting into the meat of this week’s post, I wanted to add two disclaimers that many of you will probably deem unnecessary but for my own psyche, I am going to do it anyway. And with that, the main attraction. The St. Louis Cardinals and Chaim Bloom are officially full speed ahead in […]
I found that anywhere you go, ballparks are really proud of their food and drinks. Yeah, captive pricing plays a part, but it’s usually a 50 to 75 percent markup on restaurant food. The football stadium in Atlanta is very reasonable, though. For last year’s Peach Bowl, we got tickets, 2 hot dogs, a drink, […]
From Lionel Messi to Xavi Hernández, from Andrés Iniesta to Sergio Busquets, we’ve seen quite a few players go from developing at La Masia to emerging as club icons at FC Barcelona. However, arguably the first-ever homegrown graduate to make his mark at Barcelona was none other than Guillermo Amor Martínez. Born in Benidorm, Spain, […]
Win Probability Added is a stat that measures how much a team’s chances of winning a game are altered by the hits they got, the outs they recorded on the mound, and vice versa. If you sort the greatest seasons of all time according to WPA, you’re generally going to get a bunch of great […]
Thanks goodness the Tar Heels are leaving the West Coast. The expansion out to California has not been a good one for the two revenue athletic programs at UNC. Carolina lost their late night trip to Cal on the football side a couple months ago, and the basketball team is currently 1-3 against the schools […]

TV/Stream/Radio: The Spot, Victory+, NHL Network, 102.5 FM, Lightning App Odds: Lightning -110 Know the Opponents: Defending Big D The goals have been a little hard to come by for the Tampa Bay Lightning over their last two outings. Last Tuesday they mustered one goal in regulation before defeating the P...
The New England Patriots may have a successful postseason history against the Houston Texans, but it will not matter come Sunday. These are not your dad’s (or your younger self’s) Patriots, and these are certainly not the same Texans that were blown out in each of their previous playoff trips to Gillette Stadium. With what […]
First Period The real story of the game came in the first period, dooming the Devils from there. I knew in my soul that we were in for a rough one when Frederik Andersen at one point batting the puck out of the air with his paddle. Despite having one of the worst save percentages […]
Was it all a dream? When we used to fret about the intent of our favorite team? The days and hours spent listening to podcast after podcast, reading article after article, fretting over a San Francisco crew that has demonstrated clear talent and sass this season? The years of half-hearted finishes to languid seasons by […]
The Cowboys are moving on to the second round of interviews for their defensive coordinator vacancy, and Broncos pass game coordinator Jim Leonhard has emerged as a top target. Here is a deep dive on Leonhard, his background as a coach, and what he would bring to the Dallas defense. Background Born and raised in […]
Newcastle United travel to Molineux on Sunday to face Wolverhampton Wanderers in the 22nd game of the Premier League season. Newcastle sit sixth after 21 matches and come into the fixture on a three-game league winning run. That sequence has helped narrow the gap to the top four to three points. Their most recent league […]
Manchester City suffered a crushing blow, to their Premier League title hopes, in losing the Manchester derby to United yesterday. There is still a chance for them to get back into the title race, but it doesn’t look good. Their odds are now better in the Champions League, where a last 16 place is all […] The post Manchester City Team News at Bodo/Glimt: Nico Gonzalez, Matheus Nunes appeared first on The Sports Bank .
