The Carolina Panthers weren’t good, exactly, but the arrow appears to be pointing up for the reluctant NFC South champions. That means their brass are attracting a little bit of attention from other teams. That includes one team in their own division. The Atlanta Falcons are reportedly asking to interview Brandt Tillis, an executive vice […]
Everything was set up perfectly and Trevor Zegras took full advantage. As his former team, the Anaheim Ducks, made their way to Philadelphia to face the Flyers, multiple things were in place for the star forward to get some revenge against the team that gave up on him before he even reached his prime. The Ducks were heavily limping as they entered the doors of the Xfinity Mobile Arena. Before Tuesday night, they lost their last six straight games and last earned a win all the way back on ...
The New Jersey Devils hit rock bottom tonight. They got blown out 8-4 by the Colorado Avalanche on October 28. They had an epic meltdown against the Philadelphia Flyers in a 6-3 loss on November 22.

I had no intention of talking about Auston Matthews breaking Mats Sundin's goal total while wearing a Maple Leafs jersey, but one company has me writing about the Toronto Maple Leafs today.

Instead, I want to talk about the solid marketing being done by a company who keeps finding unique ways to market their beverages through hockey. Budweiser is an offic...

The first half of the Philadelphia Flyers hosting the Anaheim Ducks had all the drama you could hope for, and then some. Unfortunately, it also involved two Flyers players having to leave the game early after suffering some brutal and dirty hits from the Ducks. Cutter Gauthier opened the scoring but ever so quickly it was Trevor Zegras that popped in two quick goals (from the same spot in the zone) to shift the game in the home team’s favor and get us feeling oh so good again. But that’s ...
The second half of the season officially starts tonight for the San Jose Sharks and the team begins with a showdown with another rebuilding squad, the Columbus Blue Jackets. Like the Sharks, Columbus is looking to take a step forward this season and that means making the playoffs. For the Blue Jackets, this season has been disappointing in that regard. The team is 8th in the Metropolitan Division with a 18-16-7 record. Interestingly, that’s the same number of points the Sharks have, but t...
“After that shorthanded goal, we just seemed to not be able to recover, for whatever reason. We started pressing. We are not the type of team that can press like that. That’s not how we have success, and it just got away from us.

Sometimes, the injuries that provide the biggest scare in hockey are the non-contact ones. It means that something has gone terribly wrong internally, not because of a blunt trauma. That's the situation the New York Rangers have been facing after their team MVP Igor Shesterkin went down in Monday night's game. We're now getting an update saying that the netminder has "avoided the worst-case scenario", but nevertheless is going on IR while he will be further evaluated with more tests.&nbs...
