The Habs went 2-1-1 during the second week of December, and sit third in the Atlantic Division with a record of 17-11-4.
It started with another full-on embarrassment at home, a 6-1 beatdown courtesy of the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday. The Habs then took to the road, with Jacob Fowler getting his first NHL regular-season start against the Pittsburgh Penguins after the Habs hit the organizational panic button – calling up Fowler, Adam Engström and Owen Beck.
All three played in the...

The 7-7 Carolina Panthers, with today’s loss to the New Orleans Saints, are tied again with the 7-7 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Technically, they are second in the NFC South. They have multiple paths to the NFC South title from here and are still, very barely, in control of their own destiny. NFC South Apparently, nobody […]
Conor Garland is among the many Vancouver Canucks players who have come up in the rumor mill this season. If the Canucks officially shop Garland, look for these three teams to be in the mix for his services. Tampa Bay Lightning The Lightning are never afraid to make a big move, and they should be aggressive again this season. A player like Garland could grab their attention, as he would have the potential to give their top six a major boost if acquired. Boston Bruins Th...
Well, at least the Tampa Bay Lightning finally scored more than one goal against Ilya Sorokin. After giving up two early goals, the Bolts battled back with goals from Darren Raddysh (on the power play) and J.J. Moser to tie the New York Islanders. Overtime solved nothing, and Sorokin stopped two of the Lightning’s three shootout attempts while Mathew Barzal and Emil Heineman were able to slip pucks past Jonas Johansson to earn the extra points in a 3-2 victory.
With the win the Islanders ...
The Islanders found themselves momentarily in first place in the Eastern Conference by total points (if not pts. percentage) on Dec. 13, 2025, after sweeping the Tampa Bay Lightning with the third win over the previous first-holders in the past couple of weeks. Like the previous two games with the Lightning, it was close, nerve-wracking […]

Wait, it’s a 3:30 game? Hmm. Didn’t realize that. Oh well, here’s to a little matinee action to break up your holiday festivities (we’re currently writing this on our balcony while Christmas music is blaring about two b...
The Winter Meetings are over as teams have made their long treks back home, or in the Rays case, a brief drive down I-4 back to Tampa Bay. It was a busy few days for the Rays, even if they only added one player to their projected Opening Day roster. Let’s break down what happened: […]
The Seahawks had to fight harder than expected to beat the Falcons. The first half from the offense was clearly below expectations, but the second half offered legitimate reasons to believe this unit can return to being productive. Adding even more value to the result is the fact that Atlanta had just beaten the Buccaneers […]
If you didn’t catch Thursday Night Football, you would have missed quite an interesting ending. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were leading the Atlanta Falcons and then let it all slip through their fingers. They were up by 14 points in the fourth quarter, then managed to squander it away. Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles had […]
If nothing else, at least now the Tampa Bay Lightning have some clarity as to their captain, Victor Hedman. On Friday, the team announced that the soon-to-be 35-year-old defenseman would undergo elbow surgery on Monday in order to repair an injury that has kept him sidelined for a long stretch of time starting in early November.
For The Big Swede, the timeline places him back in competitive action in early February (possibly in time for the Stadium Series game against Boston), but more li...
The Carolina Panthers front office is busy throughout the season with transactions, roster moves, and injury updates. Here’s what’s happening at Mint Street this week. Injuries Believe it or not, the 7-6 Carolina Panthers currently sit atop the NFC South standings thanks to the shocking come from behind win the Atlanta Falcons had over the Tampa Bay […]
Our defense vs. their offense: Carolina Panthers A potential big day for Brandon Staley’s group. How Saints QB Tyler Shough Reportedly Impressed Buccaneers Seems like a weekly occurrence for Shough. The Saints’ future at cornerback looks bright with Kool-Aid McKinstry and Quincy Riley It’s been an up-and-down year for the duo, but the potential is […]
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ struggles against the Atlanta Falcons over the past couple of years needs to be studied. How the Bucs were able to allow the Falcons to, not only stay in this game, but end up stealing this game in Raymond-James Stadium is a remarkable feat in and of itself. Not even accounting […]
The Winter Meetings have wrapped up, and the Rays are one of the busiest teams in baseball, having already signed three free agents to big league deals, and now they find themselves in trade talks with the Arizona Diamondbacks over star second baseman Ketel Marte. This doesn’t feel like a normal Rays offseason! In the […]
We assumed we knew this story. There were brilliant moments, stellar individual performances, and stretches where it looked like Atlanta would cruise to an unlikely win. Then it seemed that they were undone by the same errors that have cropped up all season, fresh waves of penalties, and failures by players the Falcons have been […]
While we don’t want to take full credit for the Tampa Bay Lightning’s offensive turnaround, we do feel it is worth noting that since we posted this:

…the Lightning have scored 14 goals in two games. Tonight’s victim was the New Jersey Devils. Tampa Bay rolled out to a 4-1 lead in the first period, made it through the second period with a 6-2 edge, and then finishe...
The Falcons trailed 28-14, committed a franchise record 19 penalties, and…defeated the Buccaneers 29-28 as time expired. Kevin Knight and Tre’Shon Diaz break down one of the strangest and most unlikely victories in Falcons history, discuss why this result doesn’t change anything for Raheem Morris and Co., and enjoy some phenomenal performances from Kyle Pitts, […]
What a game. It was a game filled to the brim with stupid moments, frankly astonishing flashes of brilliance, and bewildering decision-making. It did the NFC South proud, and for one shining moment in a miserable year, it gave us a reason to be proud of our Falcons. They won the first half narrowly before […]
The alarm bells that started ringing when Jack Hughes cut his finger at a team dinner about a month ago are absolutely screaming now. With Hughes still out – a rumored best-case scenario is a Christmas return – the Devils announced Thursday that they’d lost leading goal scorer Timo Meier. For how long? Who knows? […]
For the second time in their existence, the Tampa Bay Lightning are taking the game outside as they are set to play the Boston Bruins under the lights of Raymond James Stadium on February 1, 2026. Today, they revealed what they’ll be wearing.
Just in time for the holidays!
