The NFC North is still in play — at least for another day or two. The Green Bay Packers clinched a playoff spot on Christmas Day, getting an important present from Brian Flores and the Minnesota Vikings’ defense.

The Los Angeles Kings have been kicked out of the top-3 in their division and recently traded Phillip Danault after things went south quickly. Danault has completely lost his scoring touch and has just five assists in 31 games this season (30 with LA). The second/third line two-way center at least still has his defensive game, and that's why the Montreal Canadiens traded for him, but he wasn't adding to the offense that the Kings needed, in LA. The team reportedly turned down offers to get a p...

I thought we were done with this. Sitting down on the couch on any given evening of Blackhawks hockey, taking in the first few minutes of the game with those little twinkles of optimism that something good might happen during the next two or three hours and then having the realization — or, perhaps the reminder — settle in that this is Blackhawks lineup is simply not as good as the one on the opposite bench and that it’s going to take some rather special circumstances for the game to rema...

It’s that time of year again, folks! Christmas is behind us but the most wonderful time of year still lies ahead — the 2026 World Junior Championship. There’s little better in this hockey season than this facing off of the world’s best under-20 aged talent, and this year’s installment is set to be no different.

The Seattle Kraken are in an interesting spot. It's tough to pin down their direction as they came in as a struggling expansion team, shocked everyone in their second season, and then are back to a non-playoff team, but also not a lottery team either. The Kraken have plenty of good young talent, but also tradeable veterans to alter their roster and bring in more futures and open up space. In the 2024 offseason, the Kraken brought in Chandler Stephenson and Brandon Montour, but it didn't push t...

The Toronto Maple Leafs have had somewhat of a nightmare season and are second-last in the Eastern Conference with 37 points (16-15-5). There have been plenty of injuries, underperforming players, and assistant coach Marc Savard already let go, but more is going to be in store for the Maple Leafs if they don't go on a run very soon. The next to go will have to be head coach Craig Berube, despite comments that Berube and GM Brad Treliving are safe. Organizations will always say that until it ge...

The 2025-26 Pittsburgh Penguins might not be particularly good as a team. Especially when it comes to their defense and current level of goaltending. But they do have some good players, and they have some really intriguing young players that could be really good players in the coming seasons. The best of that group is […]

Joined by friend Matt Strauss, we remember two modern Weird Islanders who felt like they were around more than they actually were; Parker Wotherspoon because of his many years in the AHL and Dmytro Timashov because of how he came to the Islanders. Parker Wotherspoon is not an exciting player. As a defensive defenseman, his […]

The Minnesota Vikings’ passing game was not exactly a work of art in their 23-10 victory over the Detroit Lions on Christmas Day. Anyone who watched the game can assure you of that. The aenimic nature of the offense and the fact that the Vikings won anyway just shows that there are a lot of […]

The Jets placed quarterback Justin Fields on injured reserve this week, officially ending the quarterback’s season. It was an academic move. There was virtually no chance that Fields was going to play again this season. Placing Fields on IR allowed the Jets to add an additional player to the roster before the end of the […]

On paper, this looks like a straightforward matchup. In reality, it’s the kind of game that tests discipline, preparation, and patience — especially for a Seahawks team still fighting to control its own destiny to be the seed 1 in the NFC. The Carolina Panthers’ decisive game isn’t against the Seattle Seahawks, but against the […]

The NFL played three games on Christmas but none of them had much of a direct impact on the L.A. Rams playoff picture. Those games don’t really start until the Packers play the Ravens on Saturday, but then really kick off on Sunday as the Rams face the Falcons, the Seahawks face the Panthers, and […]

On the Detroit Lions’ final injury report of the week in the lead up to their Christmas Day bout with the Minnesota Vikings, the team did not even list starting center Graham Glasgow with an injury designation.
