For the Los Angeles Rams and their fans, “Revenge is a dish best served cold” is a call to arms, not a cheeky review of tailgate parties in the sunny southeast. This Saturday, L.A. takes its #5 seed and travels to Charlotte, North Carolina to open the NFL’s WildCard weekend against the NFC South champion […]

Sadly, we have another obituary to add to the Blackhawks’ Centennial season. Glenn Hall, one of the greatest goaltenders in the history of the NHL, has died . He was 94. The NHL mourns the passing of Glenn Hall, the very definition of what all hockey goaltenders aspire to be. Aptly nicknamed “Mr. Goalie,” Glenn was sturdy, dependable, and a spectacular talent in net. Read full statement from Commissioner Gary Bettman: https://t.co/JAAanpnzkt pic.twitter.com/8wLY0rzv51 — NHL P...
So, this game seems big, doesn’t it? The “Vandy hasn’t played anybody” line should have been put to rest this week with UCF and SMU both entering the top 25. Beating Alabama… well, that would cement it. It would also put Vandy at 15-0. Let’s do it.

The Philadelphia Flyers took care of business at home on Tuesday night against the Anaheim Ducks, skating their way to a 5-2 victory over their cross-country rivals. They did all of that without Matvei Michkov, who missed the game due to a foot issue. Michkov took a friendly fire pass off his skate late in the third period of Saturday afternoon’s win in Edmonton. It was still bothering him on Tuesday with some swelling, but his X-rays came back negative. Tocchet says Michkov had an x...
If the L.A. Rams are going to get star right guard Kevin Dotson back in time to face the Panthers on Saturday, he will need to get back on a field soon. Unfortunately, Dotson missed practice again on Wednesday, just three days before the wild card game, and hasn’t practiced since being injured by the […]
The San Jose Sharks hopped a plane this morning and headed to Los Angeles for the second game in as many nights. This is a very important game for the Sharks because the team has a chance to move up in the standings, and while it’s still early in the season by playoff standards, it’s points like these that matter most. The Los Angeles Kings are just above the Sharks in the wild card race, and getting two points in regulation would go a long way for the Sharks. This is the third ...
It hasn’t been an easy first half of the season for Kasperi Kapanen. He had played in just six games before injuring his knee on October 19th against the Detroit Red Wings, and when he was nearing a return in November, he suffered a setback in practice. He left the ice in frustration, taking it…

After missing the first third of the season recovering from surgery, Dayle Ross is back and ready to provide a new element to New York's defense.
The Nashville Predators are an interesting team to watch on the trade market, as they've been involved in some blockbuster talks around Steven Stamkos and Jonathan Marchessault, meanwhile, there's also pending free-agent forward Michael Bunting, who is a prime trade candidate to be moved this season. Bunting's signed for $4.5 million this season and doesn't hold any trade protection on his contract. The pesky winger has scored 11 goals and 25 points in 42 games, averaging 14:50 of ice-time per...
The New Jersey Devils are in shambles and GM Tom Fitzgerald is chomping at the bit to make a big trade. Several reports have surfaced stating the Devils are looking to add a forward with some punch, and preferably one who can play down the middle of the ice, and on the ice. After Steven Stamkos and Ryan O'Reilly seemed to turn down moves to the Devils in the last few weeks, eyes are shifted to St. Louis Blues center Brayden Schenn. Recently, Daily Faceoff's Matt Larkin discussed Schenn as a tr...
The Philadelphia Flyers have reached the half-way point of their season and have posted a 22-12-7 record, good for third in the Metropolitan Division. Despite the team's success this season, GM Daniel Briere is still thinking long term, which includes ongoing trade conversations involving defenceman Rasmus Ristolainen. According to Daily Faceoff's Anthony Di Marco the Flyers have Ristolainen available on the trade market. The towering right-handed blueliner hasn't lived up to expectation...
The definition of frustration is the feeling of being upset or annoyed, especially when you can’t change or achieve something — a feeling many fans in Oil Country know all too well with Kris Knoblauch’s constant line shuffling as of late. But Tuesday’s game against the Nashville Predators, that frustration turned to joy, as the…

Fresh off the Christian Dvorak five-year extension, it sure sounds like there’s going to be more business in the coming weeks for the Philadelphia Flyers. This time, it’s his linemate Trevor Zegras who’s at the center of those discussions. Zegras, in his press availability prior to Tuesday’s win over the Anaheim Ducks, seemed like a guy who was quite intent on re-signing in Philadelphia. “It’s cool to see somebody (Dvorak’s) age around 29 decide that this is the place tha...
