The late Bill Walton occupies a unique place in basketball history. He ranks with the greatest centers – Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Hakeem Olajuwon, among others – but injuries greatly limited his career. But when he was healthy, he was indisputably great. Boston Celtics teammate Robert Parish was speaking to former Celtic […]
Leafs are travelling to California, you don't have to go with them.
It has been rare for the Laval Rocket under Pascal Vincent to have sustained losing streaks, especially when the pressure is at its highest. However, riding a two-game skid entering Saturday ramped up the pressure for Laval as they tried to pare down their magic number just a little bit more against the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. It was a first Rocket start for Hunter Shepard, who was acquired at the AHL trade deadline, while Vincent Arseneau rejoined the lineup in place of Will Dine...
Liverpool are not shy about splashing the cash, if and when truly outstanding players come onto the market. Florian Wirtz, Virgil van Dijk, and Alisson Becker are all great examples of this. Liverpool are also not opposed to bringing in older, more experienced players if the price is right, for example James Milner and Thiago […]
The ongoing tale that is Denver and Western Michigan has been marked by tight games, drama, and overtimes. This was not one of those games.This time, with a ticket to the Frozen Four in Las Vegas on the line, it was the complete opposite; Denver came out guns blazing and set the sold-out crowd into a frenzy throughout with a 6-2 dominating win over the Broncos.The Pioneers jumped all over Western ...
Five periods into the NCAA Tournament, Michigan looked as if it was going to walk to the Frozen Four.The Wolverines took care of business against Bentley on Friday, 5-1, and held a commanding 3-0 lead after the second period on Sunday against Minnesota-Duluth. There appeared to be no stopping their season-long dominance.Then the Bulldogs came on and pushed Michigan to the brink, only to see the Wolverines...
Porter Martone, the sixth overall pick in last year's NHL Draft, has signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Philadelphia Flyers.Martone was among the wave of blue-chip former Major Junior players that came to the NCAA last summer, once the floodgates opened. His case was in a somewhat special category, given that he was signed after the draft, just like Providence's Roger McQueen.The Flyers...
Montreal Canadiens news and notes “I didn’t feel like I had much to do,” Jacob Fowler offered up as compliment for how the players worked for all 60 minutes in last night’s game. [ Journal de Montreal ] Fowler was also wearing a new mask, trading in his Florida license plate for a Quebec one. [ Journal de Montreal ] The change of goalie coach has made a big difference for Jakub Dobeš, who has been among the league’s best netminders since Marco Marciano was promoted. [ Journal ...
The Florida Panthers started strong, but a disastrous second period cost them in a 5-2 loss to the New York Islanders at UBS Arena. Matthew Tkachuk opened the scoring with a breakaway goal 8:06 into the first. Seth Jones sent a cherry-picking Tkachuk in alone on Ilya Sorokin and he pulled the keeper to the ice before roofing the puck on the backhand. Tkachuk’s second goal at 14:03 was prettier than his first as scored between his legs after being gifted the puck by Ondřej Palát after...
Heading into their Saturday afternoon contest with the Ottawa Senators, the Tampa Bay Lightning knew they needed to start fast and break the string of early multi-goal deficits they’ve faced over the last few games. Just because they knew what they needed to do didn’t mean they actually did it. On the very first shift of the game they conceded a goal. Four minutes later they gave up another one. As they have every other time, they came back to tie the game up. Unlike against Seattle and C...

With Illinois reaching the Final Four tonight, we re-post this interview of Deron Willliams, discussing about Brad Underwood. In the Illini nation, the opinion of Deron Williams will always hold sway. The greatest NBA player in Illini basketball history, or at least for the modern era, he is what you would call “a club legend.” […] The post Deron Williams Waiting for Brad Underwood, Illini to get over March Madness Hump appeared first on The Sports Bank .
Sebastian Fundora faced almost no resistance tonight in a one-sided beatdown win over Keith Thurman, and told PBC’s Jim Gray after the bout that he thought the fight would be tougher than it was. “It was a lot easier than I expected,” he admitted in his post-fight interview. Fundora (24-1-1, 16 KO) said that he […]
In case you missed it, the Denver Summit — the Mile High City’s new NWSL team — made quite a debut today: The game ended on a 0-0 draw, but what a great day for Denver sports. And that raises an interesting question: Is Denver the best sports town in the United States? It’s home […]
Craig Berube addressed the media after his team’s 5-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues, which dropped the Maple Leafs’ record to 31-30-13. On the team’s lackadaisical performance: We had one player who showed up tonight, and that was our goalie. That is really what it boils down to. It’s very disappointing. I thought the […] The post Craig Berube on the Leafs’ ugly loss in St. Louis: “We had one player who showed up… If you don’t have urgency, you’re letting that sweater down” appeared first on M...
The Atlanta Hawks were in action on Saturday evening to face the Sacramento Kings. The Hawks were coming into this game after a tough loss against the Boston Celtics yesterday, and they were looking to get back on track against a team who hasn’t played well. The Kings have had a long injury list throughout […]
It shouldn’t be a surprise that they could find a good singer in Nashville, but the anthems tonight were quite pleasant to listen to. First period After 16 shots against on Tuesday and 13 on Thursday, what can the Canadiens do in this opening period? The first line gets stuck in its own zone (maybe more fitting to say the top pairing did), but the second one gets some zone time and a shot. A better job from the top line on the next shift when Nick Suzuki knocks the puck...
The next goal eluded the Wolf Pack on this night, and they fell in a tight divisional battle.
Marty McSorley isn't a player that one forgets about thanks to his impact on the game when he played. The 62 year-old enforcer was a decent defenceman who was known more for throwing knuckles than making crisp passes, but he was memorable. Whether it was the illegal stick in the 1993 Stanley Cup Final or the stick-swinging incident against the Vancouver Canucks, McSorley may also be remembered for the major mistakes he made while playing the game. One of the things that I forgot, though, was t...
After a massive OT win in Vegas on Thursday night, the Edmonton Oilers were back at Rogers Place for a little matinee action against the Pacific Division-leading Anaheim Ducks. And in what could be a playoff matchup down the line, these two teams definitely played this game like it meant way more than just some…
