Everything about the night felt like it was setting up for another San Antonio statement. The crowd was buzzing. The series leaned their way. And early on, even adversity didn’t seem like it would matter. Then everything unraveled.

I try not to be too cynical about hockey's hiring practices, but there are often times where it seems like certain people were hired just because someone wants to reward that person for loyalty. We can talk about the nepotism that exists with guys like Scotty and Stan Bowman working for the Blackhawks and Dick and Chris Patrick managing the Capitals, but there seems to be a lot of times where owners simply create a position out of the blue for a legendary player or loyal player who played for ...
Every year on HBIC, I try to come up with a project that will incorporate summer into hockey a little more than usual. I've done a series on women who played both baseball and hockey , I cover a lot of hockey history throughout the summer , and I have covered field hockey at multiple Summer Olympiads , but this year's HBIC Summer Project will take me on the road. This project sadly won't involve The Tragically Hip, but it could be a lot of fun if I can make it work. Throughout Manitoba, the...
Did you say a contest??!! Just in case you haven’t heard, the draft is scheduled from 23-25 April, 2026. Back in 2017, around this time, I decided to create a different kind of draft-prediction contest, which I called the “Draft Pick 3”. That contest has returned annually in one form or another for each of […]
After the Bruins melted down in the last eight minutes of Game 1, Marco Sturm and several of the players cited a desire to learn from the experience and move forward for Game 2.

When the San Diego Padres and Colorado Rockies get together, anything can happen, especially at Coors Field where games can quickly escalate into unruly slugfests.

One of the most unfortunate things about being an American sports fan is you’re relentlessly inundated with erectile dysfunction advertisements. Are you unable to perform like you used to? Having trouble getting it up? Not making enough hard contact? The saving grace is these inquiries are generally quarantined to the commercial breaks. But lately, and […]
Sean Marks may have been the GM of the Brooklyn Nets for a decade, but his roots lie elsewhere. The native of Auckland, New Zealand, is part of the first generation of international NBA players, as he said among the first 40 or 50. He became the first player from his home country to play […]
When Virginia Tech head coach James Franklin was speaking to Hokie Nation on Saturday at the annual spring game in Blacksburg, he was fired up, speaking to the crowd and said the 2026 Hokies were going to “shock the world.” Those comments immediately fired up Virginia Tech fans and, of course, brought out the Penn […]
The Orioles coughed up two different leads on Tuesday night as starter Shane Baz was, yet again, inconsistent, and the team’s bullpen had a rare stumble.

The Mets led 3-0, Nolan McLean was perfect through five, and the Twins were throwing a spot-starter in Simeon Woods Richardson, who came into the game with a 6.10 ERA.
