Panthers can’t close in 3-2 overtime loss to Canadiens
The Florida Panthers ended a mostly glorious calendar year with a maddening 3-2 overtime loss to the Montreal Canadiens at Amerant Bank Arena. A duel between goaltenders Daniil Tarasov and former Panther Samuel Montembeault kept the game scoreless until pregame honoree Brad Marchand broke the seal midway through the third period. After Mackie Samoskevich forced a tripping call on Juraj Slafkovský, Florida’s power play clicked at the 10:18 mark to finally open the scoring when Marchan...
It only took two games for Quinn Ewers to start getting national attention

Canadiens @ Panthers Top Six Minutes: The captain comes up clutch
First period There’s a loud “Go Habs Go!” chant to begin the game, so apparently a few more Canadians travelled to Florida than have to Minnesota for the World Juniors. Samuel Montembeault makes a couple of saves early. It looks like he’s following the puck so far and making a point to watch it right into his body to control the rebound. Back to basics it seems, which is a good way to start. Zachary Bolduc goes in hard on the forecheck and draws a high-sticking call. He’s had ...
Phinsider Question/Discussion Of The Day: Miami Dolphins @ NE Patriots Game Day Predictions
That didn’t go like any of us thought it would, and for once, that’s a good thing. I doubt many of us saw our Miami Dolphins, with the rookie behind center, defeating a team that was coming to town, fighting for their playoff spot, and yet here we are. I have now mentally prepared myself […]

Unhappy Anniversary: Dolphins last playoff victory came 25 years ago today
December 30th, 2000. I remember that day well. The Miami Dolphins hosted the Indianapolis Colts in a Wild Card matchup in the NFL Playoffs. Quarterback Jay Fiedler passed for just 185 yards — still only 9 yards behind a young Peyton Manning’s 194 yards passing. Wide receiver O.J. McDuffie led Miami with 4 receptions for […]
Say You, Say Me: Blackhawks vs. Islanders Preview
The Chicago Blackhawks close out the 2025 calendar year on home ice Tuesday night, hosting the New York Islanders as they look to finish the year on a stronger note. The Islanders come into this one sitting third in the Metropolitan Division by points percentage (.590), a spot that looks solid on paper but hardly comfortable in practice thanks to a crowded playoff picture. The Florida Panthers and Buffalo Sabres are right on their heels — the latter of which is on a nine-game winning stea...

Hanifan: The Heat’s biggest X-Factor isn’t a player, it’s a style
After three straight seasons as a bottom-third offense, the Miami Heat and head coach Erik Spoelstra spent much of the offseason not only uncovering, but drilling a completely new offensive style into the team. For most of Spoelstra’s previous 17 years with the Heat, they only knew one pace: A deliberate, methodical one, at that.

More Imai and Imanaga, Also Just More Imanaga, Dodgers-Marlins Trade, Reds OF, and Other Cubs Bullets
The kids have another week left of their break for the holidays, and I am definitely not counting those days down like it’s a posting window for a Japanese star … I appreciated reading an actual human translation of Tatsuya Imai’s comments about the posting process, which we discussed yesterday , and which concludes this Friday, January 2 at the latest. The automated translations weren’t TOO far off (close enough to get the right sense of where things stand), but this is better: ...

Why this Heat guard wants Nikola Jovic to be more ‘assertive’
Nikola Jovic’s disappointing slump to begin the season wasn’t going to last forever. There was an inkling of hope on Nov. 8 against the Portland Trail Blazers, when the 22-year-old poured on 29 points with nine rebounds, six assists and two steals on 10-of-16 shooting and 3-of-7 from deep.
