Welcome to Monday evening, folks! The last one in October, too. November looms. Get your cranberry sauce in order. Anyways, the Bruins will both start and end a brief road trip tonight with a match-up against the Senators. I don’t know if it’s even a road trip if it’s just one game. Maybe a road […]
On a recent episode of the Managing Madrid Podcast, Kiyan Sobhani and Sara Poraria of SportyTV discussed many topics, including Sara’s many viral pitch-side interviews, the state of both Real Madrid and Barcelona, and much more. The full episode can be found here. Around the time this podcast was published, Vinicius Jr was not starting every […]
Early in their Week 8 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, it looked like the Jets were on their way to a blowout loss. With just under five and a half minutes to go in the second quarter, Cincinnati led 17-3. The Jets faced a fourth and two on the Bengals 15. What followed was a […]
The Buffalo Bills took down the surging Carolina Panthers in Week 8, winning a lopsided battle 40-9, in which running back James Cook proved unstoppable only by a snap count. Three key defenders made their debuts in a Bills uniform against the Panthers, with defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi, defensive end Michael Hoecht, and rookie first-round […]
It seems Tampa Bay Lightning general manager Julien BriseBois will not let a non-game day go by without making a move this season. His latest transaction involves yet another forward as the Lightning placed Mitchell Chaffee on waivers on Monday. The 27-year-old will be assigned to the Syracuse Crunch should he clear. Like many of the Lightning forwards Chaffee, who has appeared in seven of the team’s nine games, has yet to register a point. Chaffee was signed by the organization prior to ...
The season is not even one month in, and the Minnesota Wild are sitting in last place in the Central Division with a 3-4-1 record (7 points). How does a team with this much talent sit in last place in their division? They have not been consistent all season long. The Wild have looked goo...
Things haven’t been the best for the Edmonton Oilers in the early stages of this season. The offence has been sputtering, the defence has been shaky, and the team is playing just well enough to stick around in games. A litany of new players has arrived in Alberta’s capital this fall, and while there’s no…
The Philadelphia Flyers sent prospect Jett Luchanko back to the OHL’s Guelph Storm after over three weeks of trying him out in the NHL for the second season in a row. With the end result being the exact same, as the 19-year-old heads into his final year of junior hockey, Flyers general manager Danny Briere had some questions to answer. Luchanko started with the Flyers last season largely because then head coach John Tortorella was infatuated with his speed and defensive work. That team ha...
In Week 7, Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young injured his ankle against the New York Jets, forcing backup Andy Dalton into the game to finish out the 13-6 Panthers win. Last week, without Young, Carolina was smoked by the Buffalo Bills to the tune of 40-9. Now, the Panthers are hoping that Young will return […]
The Sens try to keep the good times rolling against the Bruins
The Buffalo Bills soundly defeated the Carolina Panthers 40-9 on Sunday afternoon. This was a much-needed win for the team, as it had dropped back-to-back games in Weeks 5 and 6 and fell behind the New England Patriots in the AFC East division race. Head coach Sean McDermott now sports a 9-0 record when coming […]
It’s a lot more fun to write about the Buffalo Bills when they play well and holy moly is it going to be fun this week! The Bills took on one of the best run defenses in football and made that statement look like it should include the word “allegedly.” There’ll be plenty of film […]
I was writing tomorrow’s preview, and a thought smacked me right between the eyes. I realized that the addition of the Utah Mammoth had significant geographic implications and consequences for visiting teams like never before. Utah plays 4,327 feet above sea level, and of course, we know the Avs are a mile high! That, along […]
Good Monday morning Caps fans, hope you all had a lovely weekend, capped off with a fantastic Sunday night at BC Place. While having to wait around all weekend for Vancouver’s playoff opener was frustrating, there was no doubt it was worth the wait. The Caps didn’t play with their food, instead snuffing out any hope of a game one upset by battering FC Dallas … Source
For maybe the first time all season, the Edmonton Oilers stuck with their line combinations for a whole game. It’s been a point of contention for the fanbase — possibly even the players — through the first 10 games of the Oilers season, and while the team would fall 4-3 in overtime Sunday night against…
The NBA isn’t truly back until a Lakers opponent crashes out over free throws and, boy, are we so back. On Sunday, Austin Reaves poured in a career-high 51 points to lead the shorthanded Lakers past the Kings in Sacramento. It was a remarkable performance from Reaves, who only continues to improve every year in […]
On October 27th in 2007, Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Randy Jones brutally boarded Patrice Bergeron face-first into the glass, leaving the Boston Bruins forward unconscious with three minutes remaining in the first period. Bergeron exited the ice strapped to a stretcher, having suffered a broken nose and concussion on the play, and missed the remaining 72 games of the season. An apologetic
On October 24th in 2009, Philadelphia Flyers captain Mike Richards blindsided winger David Booth with a vicious hit to the head rendering the Florida Panthers forward bloodied and unconscious. Booth left on a stretcher and missed the next 45 games owing to a concussion incurred on the play. Richards received a five minute major and ten minute game misconduct but was not subsequently fined or
I’m going to change things up a little bit in this week’s subscriber-only post. Instead of talking about the Tampa Bay Lightning, I’m going to get a little more personal. For those around here that might not be aware, up until about three weeks ago, my time at Raw Charge, both as an independent blog […]
The Philadelphia Flyers have made their decision. After a handful of games into the regular season and not a whole lot of minutes to hand out to a top prospect, the Flyers have sent Jett Luchanko back to the OHL where he will lace up for the Guelph Storm for the remainder of his season. Daily Faceoff’s Anthony Di Marco was the first to report it, but as Flyers practice started Monday morning and Luchanko was not on the ice, it became obvious that he’s been sent back. It was then confirmed...
The Monday edition of the Links, News, and Notes!
On Sunday night, the Blackhawks lost a game to the Los Angeles Kings. Early in the third period, forward Ilya Mikheyev put his speed on display while killing a penalty. He was in the process of creating a potential scoring chance — skating 1-on-3, I might add — when he got tripped. Mikheyev went into the boards hard behind the LA net and left the game. He did not return. Ilya Mikheyev has not taken a shift since sliding into the boards hard here: pic.twitter.com/W4xX1L5UKC — BHF (@B...
When the Edmonton Oilers aren’t winning, it can feel like the sky is falling. Their 4-4-2 record isn’t ideal after ten games, but it’s far from disastrous. At this point, it almost feels like we should adjust our expectations and accept that the Oilers might start the season slowly. We haven’t seen the best of…
With a month gone by in the 2025-26 season, what better time than now to look at some takeaways for the squads in Hockey East?
Last week, our Rangers Reacts question asked which Texas Rangers pitcher hitting the free agent market you’d most like to see the team bring back. In a close vote, trade deadline addition Merrill Kelly was the top choice, narrowly edging out fellow starter Tyler Mahle and reliever Shawn Armstrong. Phil Maton, Patrick Corbin and Hoby […]
