When you are a rebuilding team that has stockpiled more draft picks than you would ever have a reasonable need for, you have the flexibility to take some chances on talented players that have not worked out in their previous stop. If you are a contending team short on assets, you are not trading two […]

This past week, the Flyers have somehow played three games while also having a four-day holiday break. In that stretch, the Flyers went 2-1-0 against three of the worst teams in the Western Conference, with wins over Vancouver and Chicago and a regulation loss against Seattle. The week started off on the right foot with a pretty dominant 5-2 win over the Canucks, where the new look fourth line of Nikita Grebenkin, Rodrigo Abols, and Carl Grundstrom combined for two goals. The next n...

For the past few seasons, Minnesota Wild fans have been anxious for Matt Boldy to take the leap. Boldy has played at an All-Star level over the past two years, but fans have been waiting for him to become a franchise-caliber player who can complement Kirill Kaprizov. Saturday’s game over the Wi...

Noah Philp is a 27-year-old who has only appeared in 30 career NHL games, and most of those games were far from memorable. Losing him on waivers is far from the end of the world. It is, however, an example of what I view as a relatively large organizational flaw that the Edmonton Oilers have…

I saw someone here on Pensburgh (kudos to who it was and apologies for the faulty memory) equate Kyle Dubas’s progressive wheeling and dealing into the ‘one red paperclip’ theory and that stuck. After Dubas got forward Yegor Chinakhov in exchange for a second round pick (that Pittsburgh received as part of the bounty from […]

The Wisconsin Badgers play their last basketball game of 2025 on Tuesday, as the Milwaukee Panthers come to the Kohl Center. Tip-off is at 6:00 PM on the Big Ten Network, and the Badgers are 21.5-point favorites. The Badgers got back in the win column with a solid 88-61 win over the Central Michigan Chippewas […]

The Los Angeles Kings are barely holding down a playoff spot in the West and have only won three of their past 10 games. Fortunately right now, the West is much weaker than the East in terms of the wildcard spots. Regardless, the Kings have to take one last swing at the playoffs with Anze Kopitar and need center depth to do it. Kopitar and Quinton Byfield hold down the top two lines, but Alex Turcotte and Samuel Helenius have been thrust into larger roles even though their ice time is very low...

Foul baiter, flopper, not ethical, unwatchable, disgusting. Jalen Brunson and his game have been called all of these things. But these opinions are voiced rarely, if ever, by people who actually watch and know basketball. These lazy and statistically false narratives are often perpetuated by those who are either salty after losing to Brunson and […]

Oregon women’s basketball came up just short last night, rallying from behind to force two overtime periods before falling to the #6 Michigan Wolverines, 92-87. The Ducks sputtered out of the gate, and with Michigan shooting nearly 77% in the first quarter, Oregon was immediately in a hole. In the middle of the second quarter, […]

Approaching the midway point of the season, the Rangers are still a middle of the pack team at best and can’t maintain any form of consistency as injuries continue to hold them back.

Hello CSR! Welcome to Ask Brian, your weekly Panthers fan mailbag for everyone! I took a week off from the answers portion, partly due to a lack of participation (understandable during the holidays), and mostly because I was super under the weather after Christmas. But we’re back at it this week, and the stakes couldn’t […]

Philadelphia Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet would come out and completely confirm it, but from the sounds of it Flyers defenseman Travis Sanheim will be on Team Canada’s roster for the upcoming Winter Olympics in Milano. The roster will be officially announced later this week, but, barring a major injury to the player, Tocchet all but guaranteed he’ll be on the club . During a scrum on Monday in Vancouver, Tocchet was asked a series of questions about returning to Vancouver and facing the...

The unofficial start of the NBA trade season (December 15) has passed, and to nobody’s surprise, the Rockets have not made any moves. However, with the season being anything but smooth so far, with losses to the Utah Jazz, New Orleans Pelicans, Sacramento Kings, and L.A. Clippers being just a few examples of how they […]

The Carolina Hurricanes suffered another big blow as goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov suffered what seems to be a season-ending injury. The Hurricanes still have Brandon Bussi, who has been somewhat of a saviour for them this season out of nowhere, and Frederik Andersen, who can't really be trusted to play at a high enough level anymore, especially for a Stanley Cup contender. Kochetkov was 6-2-0 on the season with a 2.33 GAA and .899 SV%. The Hurricanes don't allow a ton of shots, so the SV% is alw...

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: ...

I don’t think I’m talking out of school when I say that Saturday’s loss to the Flames was one of the more disappointing outcomes we’ve had lately. The Oilers were outplayed for stretches, hit posts en masse, and ultimately came up a goal short of picking up at least a point in the first game…
