There’s no sugarcoating it; the Minnesota Wild stink so far this season. The reasons for that are up for debate, but the results are not. A 3-5-3 record through eleven games and a humbling start to the home stand has left both the team and its fans searching for answers after their most recent defea...

You might recall that a few weeks ago, after the Minnesota game I believe, I asked the staff if Purdue had a QB controversy brewing. Maybe I was just mad at the inconsistent play of Browne when I sent that question out, I’m not sure. By the time I drafted my own response I said […]

Message sent. Message received. The Edmonton Oilers’ performance in the first period of Tuesday’s game against the Utah Mammoth was nothing short of unacceptable, and it was made well known. “We kind of needed a bit of a wake-up in between the first and second,” said Oilers forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. “Knobber coming in, talking about…

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook III was electric in the team’s dominating Week 8 win over the Carolina Panthers, rushing for a career-high 216 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries. For his efforts, Cook was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week. It’s Cook’s third Player of the Week award since entering […]

The Calgary Flames have had a horrible start to the season after being inches from making the playoffs last season. It is a team that has to make a decision and rebuild, but is currently holding onto pieces that will stop them from doing it with maximum efficiency. One player that is almost definitely going to be gone this season is Rasmus Andersson. There are plenty of teams with interest around the league for a top-4 right-shot defenseman that can also produce offensively, but the herd appea...

Bye weeks are never dull, especially if you’re a New York Jets fan. A week after NY Jets owner Woody Johnson ripped starting quarterback Justin Fields, and mere days after being ripped by former NFL quarterback Alex Smith in the national media, a former Jets quarterback added his own story regarding the team’s owner. Speaking […]

And just like that , the sun is shining once again in Blackhawks land. It’s difficult to avoid getting carried away when Connor Bedard does things like he did on Tuesday night which speak to the incredible hype that has followed him around since he was a teenager, long before he started lighting up scoreboards for the Blackhawks. The same can be said when Frank Nazar is flying around the ice and racking up points as well, because these are two of the players expected to be at the heart of...

Noah Cates is the quintessential player that the grown hockey men are talking about when it comes to “putting on your hard hat and getting to work”. The Philadelphia Flyers centerman is rarely even spoken about on the national stage but every single night, every single shift, he does what is necessary to have his team have the advantage and win more hockey games. The 26-year-old forward has been under the radar when it comes to people who either aren’t Flyers fans or are complete sickos a...

It goes without saying that the first few weeks for the Edmonton Oilers haven’t been up to par. Granted, sluggish starts in October are nothing new to the team, with the team finding ways to rally, leading to back-to-back appearances in the Stanley Cup Final. There’s a sense of optimism following the Oilers’ 6-3 win…

The Chicago Bulls will welcome the Sacramento Kings into the United Center tonight, and I think we all know there is only one way that game will end … A tie. In all seriousness, few things would feel more Bulls than having your first loss of the 2025-26 season come against Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan. The organization finally moved on from both over the last year-plus, paving the way for a new chapter of youthful and more well-rounded Bulls basketball. As strange as it is to say,...

The New Jersey Devils are looking to remain competitive in net by looking to extend Jacob Markstrom. Initially, it was rumored that the Devils' starting goalie was looking for a long-term extension, but it looks like the two sides are going to go shorter in the term. Elliotte Friedman said, "Seems like they're pretty hopeful. They were looking maybe a couple of years, shorter-term, big number. They're going at it here, trying to close something." From New Jersey's standpoint, there should be s...

Ex-Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov knows what it feels like to arrive with expectation, a reputation, and an immediate demand to deliver. He’s been there twice, in fact. First at Tottenham Hotspur, where he took time to adapt to English football’s pace and intensity, and later at Manchester United, where his languid brilliance sometimes disguised […] The post Dimitar Berbatov shares “world class” advice for Florian Wirtz amid critics for Liverpool star appeared first on Paisley Ga...

That's Wild The Minnesota Wild clearly want something else on their blue line. Yes, there are so many good and solid players on it but they want that extra grit and grind and physicality and roughness to it that can take them to the next level. It is an issue that started to become more prom...

The Chargers (5-3) are in the midst of their mini bye between last Thursday’s win over the Vikings and this week’s game against the lowly Titans (1-7). They’re coming off their most complete game in weeks to help right the ship following the lopsided loss to the Colts and a game against Tennessee is just […]

This weekend, the Green Bay Packers’ game will be televised on an impressively small number of local stations around the United States. Their Week 9 matchup with the Carolina Panthers is up against a few unfortunate factors: First, it is not a premier opponent, nor is this game even a divisional matchup; second, it is […]

The Montreal Canadiens completed their season series against the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday night, and have swept it with a 4-3 win, with both wins being of the overtime variety. The Habs have struggled to hold on to third period leads in the early goings of this season, a trend that may soon necessitate a deeper discussion, but the good news is that their sheer talent has made them unbeatable in overtime so far. As concerning as blown third-period leads may be, zero concern exists around ...

It’s frustrating, having one of the best games you have played this year, only to fall short in the final seconds of the game. Head Coach Ryan Warsofsky held his head high before facing the media. The San Jose Sharks were so close, yet fell to the Los Angeles Kings 4-3 in regulation. The Sharks outshot the Kings 40-14 and had 44 scoring chances to the Kings’ 13, according to Natural Stat Trick, but the score simply didn’t end up in San Jose’s favor.
