Well, we didn’t see that one coming. Maybe we should have, given that the Vegas Golden Knights don’t exactly have a reputation as a patient franchise. They’ve spent every year of their existence as aspiring Cup contenders, and they’ve made it clear that failure isn’t an option. Given how much failing they’ve been doing this year, maybe we should have expected yesterday’s bombshell, with John Tortorella replacing Bruce Cassidy as head coach with just eight games left to play. What does it all m...
For the second time in a week, the Montreal Canadiens found themselves taking on a top team in the Eastern Conference in the form of the Carolina Hurricanes. This time, they would have to do it in Carolina’s barn, and would have to do so on very little rest, having just won a game in Nashville that started less than 24 hours prior to this one. In both games against the Hurricanes, the Habs struggled to spend much time in the offensive zone, and yet for the second time, they found a way to get ...

The Carolina Panthers have been retooling, rebuilding, or just plain stagnating for what feels like the past decade. 2026 marks the first year since 2018 when they have been entering a season fresh off of a playoff appearance and without a lameduck head coach or general manager. What do they have to show for that […]

Yeah, I wasn’t feeling that weekend series against the Rangers. “Flat” would be a decent enough adjective to describe them, which is surprising considering they were opening at home. Time to move on. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:

The Pittsburgh Penguins have had tougher stretches of games during the 2025-26 season in terms of their opponents. They may not have had a more important stretch of games than the one they are facing this week. They have five games between Monday and next Sunday, and those games will go a long way toward […]

*Okay before we get to the thing, last night the Flyers went to overtime (WOW SHOCKING) against the Dallas Stars and walked away with a win thanks to Trevor “Clutchtime” Zegras. RECAP !

The Florida Panthers left the Big Apple with no points, losing 3-1 to the New York Rangers at Madison Sqaure Garden.
With Igor Shesterkin and Sergei Bobrovsky pitching shutouts into the third, Adam Sykora finally opened the scoring when he tipped Adam Fox’s shot from just above the right circle past Florida’s keeper at 5:38 with the secondary assist going to Noah Laba.
Conor Sheary provided insurance at the 11:14 mark, cashing in a shorthanded breakaway after J.T. Miller picked off V...
After a terrible loss to the Carolina Hurricanes yesterday evening, which really decimated the New Jersey Devils’ longshot playoff hopes, I was looking for one thing above all in the team tonight: whether or not the Devils would play the game for a full 60 minutes and give their best effort. And to be honest, […]

We could write a thousand words about today’s game. Or we could just link back to the previous three or four recaps. The Tampa Bay Lightning struggled to start the game, fell behind, tied the game, and were the better team in the third period. Corey Perry tapped home a shot that snuck through Justus Annunen’s pads seven minutes into the third period to give the Bolts the 3-2 lead.
To the Lightning’s credit, they’re getting better. They only went down one goal this time, and it took almost...
The Chicago Blackhawks closed out their road trip with a 5-3 loss to the New Jersey Devils on Sunday, blowing the lead three times in the process.
The Blackhawks opened the scoring 4:19 into the game. Jake Allen was slow playing the puck behind the net, so Anton Frondell swept in to steal it and set up Ilya Mikheyev out front for an open-net goal, making it 1-0.

DeMar DeRozan recently passed Tim Duncan in the All-Time scoring list, and should pass Dominique Wilkins and Oscar Robertson this season, if he’s not shut down by the tanking Kings.
