Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni published a statement on his social media right after the club announced their decision to fine both the French midfielder and Fede Valverde after their confrontation during Thursday’s training session. This week’s events in training are simply unacceptable. I say this with a clear mind, reflecting on the example we […]
Montreal Canadiens news and notes Jake Evans has some words of caution for any Buffalo Sabres players who want to get in Jakub Dobeš’s kitchen: “When he gets bothered, he’s even better.” [ Journal de Montreal ] Nick Suzuki was happy with what he saw from the Newhook-Evans-Demidov line.

Mitch Marner registered a natural hat trick and set up Brayden McNabb’s short-handed goal as the Vegas Golden Knights fricasseed the Anaheim Ducks 6-2 in Game 3 at Honda Center on Friday. It was the first hat trick of Marner’s postseason career. Shea Theodore and Brett Howden each had a goal and an assist, and Carter Hart made 31 stops for the Golden Knights, who took a two to one lead in the series. Beckett Sennecke and Chris Kreider scored the goals for Anaheim. Alex Newhook notched a p...
On Friday, the NHL released the names of the three finalists for the Hart Trophy, given to the player that scores the most points that the PHWA deems the “most valuable to his team”. The three finalists are Edmonton’s Connor McDavid, Colorado’s Nathan MacKinnon, and the greatest player in Tampa Bay Lightning franchise history – Nikita Kucherov. Those names aren’t exactly shocking, and quite frankly seem to be among the finalists year after year. There was some talk that Macklin Celebrini might...
Recap of the game.
The Texas Rangers scored a run but the Chicago Cubs scored seven runs. The Rangers introduced Elvis Cam tonight with Elvis Andrus manning one of the television cameras for an inning or so. It was a cute idea to see a Rangers legend and fan favorite covering the “action” but then they ended up forcing […]

First period Just 96 seconds into the game, the Canadiens have the lead, their first of the series. After a stumble from a Sabres defenceman, Alex Newhook collected the puck, and after the play shifted to the other side of the ice, he got the tip on Kaiden Guhle’s shot to get the puck past Alex Lyon.

Yeah, this is going to be a harder one to come back from. The Sixers were outclassed again by the New York Knicks, falling 108-94 in Game 3 and into a 3-0 series deficit.

The Edmonton Oilers’ goaltending question is still running rampant, and the limited free agent class does not help their situation. Daily Faceoff’s Matt Larkin identified over a dozen goaltenders who could become available this off-season. He broke the netminders down into four tiers based on their appeal for teams like the Oilers who are seeking…
Go get ‘em, Ben.
July 1st won't be quite the same as in past years in the NHL. The so-called 'Free Agent Frenzy' will be more like a 'Free Agent Fizzle' this time around. All the big names who were pending UFAs this past season have re-signed with their current teams. Huge stars like Connor McDavid to Kirill Kaprizov to Jack Eichel to Adrian Kempe and Artemi Panarin. There will still be some talent out there, to be sure, just nothing game-changing. And we must also keep in mind that some might stil...
On the scoreboard, Thursday’s series finale against the Rangers went quite well, as the Yankes won fairly comfortably, clinching another series win. However, the victory did include an injury to Jasson Domínguez, who has hit the IL after hurting his shoulder crashing into the left field while making a catch. Domínguez’s IL trip has led […]
We could already have a second-round series finish this weekend, as the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs continue. Nothing will be decided on Friday night, though, with Buffalo up 1-0 on Montreal and a 1-1 deadlock in the West between Vegas and Anaheim.

Friday’s action repeats on Mothers Day, with Buffalo/Montreal and Vegas/Anaheim on the agenda. ...

Rumors emerging earlier this week out of Toronto indicate that Auston Matthews isn't sure yet if he's down to return to the Maple Leafs for next season. He wants to wait and see what the new management team can do this summer before making a decision on his future. One thing the captain seems to be forgetting is that he does have two years to run still on his contract with the club. A contract that pays him pretty handsomely, at $13.25 million annually (4th highest in the NHL n...

Lord Byron once said, “The best prophet of the future is the past.” Byron was an English poet in the early 1800s, and his quote connects to many aspects of life, including sports. This quote should be front and centre in the Edmonton Oilers management office as they decide what direction to head this off-season….
