Head coach Jon Cooper reacts to Team Canada’s 5-0 win over Czechia to open the 2026 Winter Olympic hockey tournament. On the team gelling well in the first game, and whether it quickly translated from the 4 Nations: They are just comfortable with each other.

Looking back at Leon Draisaitl’s history with Team Germany

For Edmonton Oilers fans who’ve been around to watch Leon Draisaitl transform from an 18-year-old kid into the dominant player he is today, delivering many wonderful memories in Oil Country, it was a proud moment seeing him wave the flag for Germany at the Olympic opening ceremonies.

Bill Belichick and his hot seat

For the record, I like my heated seat. The first time I owned a car with seat warmers, my immediate reaction was, “Where has this been all my life?!” Even on long car trips to the Outer Banks during the summer, it acts like a back massager. I’m a big fan of seat heat. I […]

Rams must hold on to Kamren Curl

Following a dismal start to his time with the Los Angeles Rams, safety Kamren Curl improved in his second season with the team. Curl is set to hit free agency this offseason, but the Rams must do what they can to retain the veteran defender. In 17 starts, Curl amassed a career-high 122 combined tackles, […]

Bobby Brink might be odd man out in Flyers’ near future

Flyers winger Bobby Brink has set a career-high in goals for a season with 13 this year, and with roughly one-third of the season left to go. He probably will be hard pressed to achieve the 41 points he amassed last season, yet he could conceivably find himself in the 33-point to 35-point range at his current clip. Besides his production, Brink has also established himself as one of the hardest-working forwards the Flyers have. It’s a far cry from the forward the Flyers drafted back in 2019. A...

Report: Phillies release Nick Castellanos

It was time. Holding out hope that someone – anyone – would give them something in return for Nick Castellanos, the Phillies are instead reportedly releasing the right fielder. This was a move that most everyone saw coming when considering the money still owed Castellanos, but still, the era is over. We’ll have more later. […]
