The Tampa Bay Lightning closed out the October slate of their schedule with a 2-1 victory over the Dallas Stars. Tonight’s star – Anthony Cirelli. After Brandon Hagel made a nice defensive play in his own zone to force a loose puck, Cirelli bumped the puck to open ice and outraced the Stars’ defenders for a semi-breakaway. He tucked the puck in on the near post to beat Jake Oettinger to earn the bonus point.

Just one week after Kentucky basketball looked like world-beaters in a physical, dominant win over No. 1 Purdue, the hype train came to a screeching halt. Friday night’s 84-70 exhibition loss to the Georgetown Hoyas wasn’t just a loss; it was a blaring, five-alarm warning sign about this roster’s most significant potential weakness. It reminded […]
Pregame The Penguins stick with the same skaters and line as last game and swap out goalies as they’ve done for every game so far in the season, putting Tristan Jarry in for the night. First period Minnesota strikes first, Ryan Shea and Kris Letang both get caught in space and slow to cover a […]
The Dodgers need to win two games at Rogers Centre to win a championship, but in order to win Game 7 they first have to beat the Blue Jays Game 6 on Friday night in Toronto. The Blue Jays come home riding high up three games to two in the series after winning the last […]
Back in February I published a set of goals for UW to achieve this year. As I said back then, competing in the Big Ten Championship game and getting into the CFP should be goals-this year and every year; but I was looking at goals that I thought were more realistic. It turns out that […]
It’s good times in North London right now. Arsenal FC are top of the table, and so far, looking good in both of the tournaments that they’ve commenced competition in. They beat Crystal Palace 1-0 in the Premier League last weekend and Brighton & Hove Albion in the League Cup last night. Now comes a […]

It was a pretty tough night at Rupp Arena as the Kentucky Wildcats got absolutely smacked by the Georgetown Hoyas, 84-70. Defensively, the Cats got gashed by an experienced Hoya squad that seemingly couldn’t miss for the first 35 minutes of the game. Add that in with some awful offense, and that led to the […]
The Flyers closed out the first month of the season in a positive way, with their third straight victory, this time over the Nashville Predators. A lousy opening period that saw the Flyers outshot 10-3 would turn out not to be a sign to things to come, with Trevor Zegras stepping up in a big way, scoring twice and assisting on another tally.
The Basics
First period: No scoring Second period: 12:45 – Trevor Zegras (Matvei Michkov, Owen Tippett), 15:41 – Jamie Drysdale (Michkov, ...
The Houston Texans are fresh off a dominant victory over the well-coached San Francisco 49ers and are looking to keep that momentum rolling as they return home to face the Denver Broncos. Quarterback C.J. Stroud took what the 49ers’ defense gave him and operated the offense at an extremely high level — something that hasn’t […]
If your Georgia Bulldogs are returning to action looking to shake off the bye week rust against a bitter historic rival with nothing to lose under an interim coach you could probably use a drink. I can help you with that. The Florida game is a very special one for me as a Bulldog fan. […]
Arsenal look to make it three wins over top flight competition, in the same week, when they travel to Burnley FC on Saturday. They’ll likely need to do it without the services of William Saliba and Gabriel Martinelli however.

The Chicago Bears are back on the road this Sunday for another AFC North matchup, and hopefully, this one is better than the last one. Much like the Ravens were a week ago, the Cincinnati Bengals are also missing their Pro Bowl quarterback. But as we just saw in Baltimore — on any given Sunday […]
