Maybe it was the extra week off. Maybe it was the competition, or lack thereof.

In fact, Hughes […]
Milan, ITALY — Brock Nelson is a third-generation Team USA representative and scored two goals in the USA opener against Latvia.

Canada’s superstars flexed, Team USA weathered early chaos, Switzerland cruised, and Germany held on in a wild Day 2 slate at the Olympics. Here’s how four crucial group games unfolded in Milan.
If 26-year-old Robert Thomas is to be had at the upcoming trade deadline, it will take a very high price to do it. One recent report from Elliotte Friedman indicated that a team will have to make the St. Louis Blues say to themselves, 'there’s no way we can say no'. Which team is ready to try to bowl over the Blues with a Thomas offer? According to insider James Mirtle of The Athletic, we should not count out the Carolina Hurricanes making Thomas their next 'big swing.' Some...
Calvin Pickard’s agent made a strong defence of his client sticking around with the Edmonton Oilers, saying he isn’t sure that Pickard isn’t the team’s number one goalie.

At this point, nearly half the teams in the NHL have been linked to top New York Rangers trade candidate Vincent Trocheck. We looked at 10 of his best fits earlier this week. But insider Chris Johnston of The Athletic has made a specific projection for the Rangers center's next destination.

Tough start to the Olympics for the Calgary product.
The Hockey Show , Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, is back with the second week of Olympic hockey chatter as the Milano-Cortina Olympiad continues. We saw the Canadian women stumble in their quest for gold, the Canadian men start their quest for gold, and a few other storylines that have emerged in hockey and other sports that are worthy of discussion. What shouldn't be forgotten is that even small mistakes in a competition can effect the outcome of the even...
That didn’t take long. Less than 24 hours after the Spurs waived forward Jeremy Sochan, ESPN’s Shams Charania is reporting he to sign with one of many potential suitors: the New York Knicks. The Knicks were the main team listed as a potential trade partner for Sochan before the trade deadline, but talks reportedly stalled […]
The Minnesota Wild might have been able to force themselves to make a move last summer when they didn't have to make one. Armed with a ton of cap space, they could have blown away a free agent like Brock Boeser or Nikolaj Ehlers. The Wild had young center Marco Rossi and a stockpile of prospects to...
This week was a mixed bag for the Lakers. On the plus side, they won a pair of games and got Austin Reaves back. On the negative side, they lost to the top two teams in the West, Luka Dončić got hurt and LeBron James said they weren’t a championship team. Add it all up, […]

On Christmas Eve, Baylor sent shockwaves around NCAA by signing 7-foot center James Nnaji, the No. 31 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft who never actually signed an NBA contract.
