It’s here. The last game we’ll be watching of this dang Philadelphia Flyers team for a whole 20 days. Should we try to savor it? Maybe take in every single minute so that we can keep it in our heads until they return on Feb. 25? Maybe. Or, we could just get through it as fast as possible so we can relax for a little bit. They’re facing Claude Giroux and his Ottawa Senators, by the way. Puck drop: 7:00 p.m. How to watch/listen: 📺: NBCSP 📻: 93.3 WMMR Pregame reading D...

Nowhere to go from here but up (or further down I guess)
The Pittsburgh Penguins only have one game left before their Olympic break but are experiencing a bumpy road to get to that finish line. It was already announced that Blake Lizotte will be out for tonight’s game against Buffalo due to the birth of his child and that Noel Acciari is a game-time decision while […]
Yesterday, The Washington Post laid off about one third of its newsroom. All departments were affected, but some sections were eliminated entirely. The sports department, which includes beat reporters for the Washington Wizards, Capitals, Mystics, Commanders, Nationals, Spirit, DC United — you get the picture, was eliminated entirely as we know it. If the local […]
We’re now living in a timeline where Artemi Panarin is in the Pacific Division, after the Los Angeles Kings acquired him from the New York Rangers and signed him to a contract extension. It was only 10 years ago when he and Connor McDavid were battling it out for the Calder Trophy, but in the…

The Pittsburgh Penguins fourth line has become a major driving force behind their success this season, and rapidly become not only one of the most effective fourth-lines in the NHL, but also one of their most effective lines as a team.

Florida blew a two-goal third period lead, but still managed to end its four-game losing streak with a nail-biting 5-4 shootout win over the Boston Bruins last night.

A little less than a month ago, I wrote a piece discussing how the New Jersey Devils could still try to save the 2025-26 season. How if they could go on another run or two of games where they could string together a large number of wins akin to their early season eight game win […]
Bill Guerin has made the Minnesota Wild into a contender with one simple trick. He channelled his inner Michael Jordan and said, "F*** them kids." Instead of stockpiling them and holding onto dear life, he made the bold decision to flip Zeev Buium, Marco Rossi, and Liam Öhgren to land Quinn Hughes....

With a three-week layoff for the Olympics looming, the Montreal Canadiens were in Manitoba on Wednesday night to meet the Winnipeg Jets. There was a problem, however, as most of the roster looked to have already checked out for that layoff. The lowly Jets were in full control of the game from the opening puck drop, and the Habs looked flustered for the better part of the first two periods. But they pulled another rabbit out of their hat, finding the scoring they needed to take a 5-1 win that p...
