The Buffalo Bills just took out their frustrations on the Carolina Panthers, winning 40-9 in a game where running back James Cook looked wholly unstoppable. Buffalo’s win put to bed a two-game losing streak that stretched out past their Week 7 bye. No doubt, the Bills were eager to move on from that setback, and […]

How much can you panic about a 3-5-2 start? While the Minnesota Wild are in seventh place in the Central Division, it wouldn't have taken much for a few games to break differently. If one of four shots in overtime goes in on Sunday night, for example, the Wild would have entered Monday at a mu...

JJ McCarthy is set to return to the Minnesota Vikings’ starting lineup as their QB1. However, it comes at a painful price with fellow quarterback Carson Wentz heading to injured reserve after it was announced that he will have season-ending shoulder surgery: NEWS: Vikings QB Carson Wentz is undergoing season-ending surgery on his left shoulder, sources tell me and @aleclewis.bsky.social.

Happy Monday, everyone. I was having a good Monday. That is, until Shannon Dawson addressed the media today. No witty quips here. Let’s get to it. 1) Yeah, I’m not happy after Dawson addressed the media on Monday. Here’s why (Dawson starts at the 29-minute mark; I’m not going to transcribe all of it): Ok, […]

The Minnesota Vikings placed quarterback Carson Wentz on the injured reserve on Monday, due to a shoulder surgery that will end his 2025 campaign. Without Wentz, the 3-4 Vikings are left with just J.J. McCarthy, who is coming off “an ankle injury,” and undrafted rookie Max Brosmer at the position. With the open roster spot […]

There has been an interesting phenomenon that has stretched all the way from articles, to social media, to the comments on my podcast: Some Wisconsin Badgers fans are back on the Fick Train seemingly because of a closer-than-expected 21-7 loss in the wind and rain against the No. 6 Oregon Ducks. While I was impressed with the […]

From day one of Captain Skates in early September, the Oilers talked about their goal of getting off to a good start. It hasn’t happened. The team went 4-4-2 and sits tied for 10th in the Western Conference. It’s not an awful start, but it isn’t close to a good start either. Edmonton had one…

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 […]

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 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…
