If nothing else, tonight’s loss by the Tampa Bay Lightning is a perfect example of why it’s so hard to string long winning streaks together in the NHL. Despite statistically dominating the St. Louis Blues for most of the night, the Lightning saw their eleven-game winning streak come to a halt as they fell in a shootout, 3-2. It’s not often a team puts up a heat map like that and ends up on the losing side. Yet, that’s what happened as the Lightning ran into a hot goaltender in Joel H...
On Sunday, the Chicago Bears host the Los Angeles Rams with the winner advancing to the NFC Championship game.

The Cleveland Cavaliers erased an 11-point fourth-quarter deficit to defeat the Philadelphia 76ers 117-115 in the final seconds. An Evan Mobley dunk off a beautiful feed from Jaylon Tyson helped secure the victory. The stats in the table below are from Cleaning the Glass. Now, let’s dive into the numbers.
Andrej Stojakovic was triple-cursed before he signed with the Illini. His last name conjures up memories of his father, Predrag (Peja). Peja was a 6-foot-10ish sharpshooter for the Sacramento Kings that tormented the Shaq/Kobe Lakers. He was the closest thing the NBA had to a true replacement for the late “Petro,” Drazen Petrovic. He shot […]
With all due respect to the paying customers of Scotiabank Arena, the NBA’s best players continue missing games in Toronto. Kawhi Leonard joined the growing list of stars to not suit up against the Raptors, including Nikola Jokic, Luka Doncic, Joel Embiid, and Jaylen Brown. Lucky for Los Angeles, they still have another All-Star who […]
Our friends over at The Good Phight asked an interesting question earlier this week: Which Philadelphia team will win the next championship? “Phillies, Flyers, Sixers, Eagles, Union,” they asked, “who’s winning it all?” So as we head into the first Denver Broncos home playoff game in a decade — with the Denver Nuggets and Colorado […]
Earlier this week, there was a sentiment that we were going to learn a lot about this Kentucky Basketball team.

The short answer to the question above is no, I'm not an influencer by any means. The deeper answer is that I neither want to live my life in the public eye nor would I want to have my face and thoughts splashed all over social media. Frankly, it seems exhausting, and I know I could put that time to better use for a plethora of things. That being said, the news to the left today was pretty awesome to see as the Colorado Avalanche went ahead and promoted Kim Weiss to a permanent assistant coach...
