First period The Jets have come out with a strong start. Kyle Connor tested Samuel Montembeault 10 seconds in, and the puck has mostly been in Montreal’s zone since. The second shot Montembeault faces sees the goaltender slide off his angle as the puck comes in, and it just glances off his side and wide. Josh Anderson goes off for high-sticking (there have been a lot of those calls this season) and the Jets get the first power play. Montembeault is lunging all over the place t...
Who is he and where did he come from? He’s Isiah Kiner-Falefa. The former Ranger also spent time with the Yankees before signing a 2-year, $15 million deal with the Blue Jays in 2024, who then traded him to the Pirates at that year’s trade deadline, only to take him back a year later after […]
ACC Prescription made a good point that Friday night college football isn’t the same as it used to be. That’s not a bad thing for the ACC as it’s about exposure.

No 2nd portal window after Spring Ball, juat development, culture building and improving. Purdue ended the portal season with the 22nd ranked class, there was some great […]
The Huskers played 36 minutes of really excellent basketball. They had a very good game plan and executed it well. Unfortunately, the plan came apart for the final four minutes and the Wolverines capitalized to get the win. Nebraska’s record is now 16-7 (5-7 in the Big Ten). Nebraska was led in scoring by Prince […]
Just when it looked like the offseason might be over, Scott Harris and Jeff Greenberg came through with a huge move that vastly upgrades the Detroit Tigers’ pitching staff, and gives them a strong second starter who can help lead the rotation beyond 2026.

The Seattle Seahawks’ Wednesday practice report is out for Super Bowl week, and it’s more encouraging than the lengthy list suggests. None of the 14 players the Seahawks put on their initial injury report was a non-participant. Fullback Robbie Ouzts is still worth monitoring closely given he missed the NFC Championship Game with a neck […]
Behind an 11-2 run to end the half, Villanova (17-5) went into the locker room up by 15 and never looked back, dispatching Seton Hall by 12.

Out of all of the players having success for the Tampa Bay Lightning this season, the unlikeliest of them is Darren Raddysh. A healthy scratch at points early in the season, there was some speculation that he might not even make it to the new year on the roster. Not only did he stick around, he found himself on the top pairing and is having a career season. So why is he a problem? Well. As far as Coach Jon Cooper is concerned, he’s not a problem. Having more good defenseman than you have ...
