Per 247Sports, Missouri has made its first transfer portal edition on Monday afternoon by adding former Oregon cornerback Jahlil Florence. Florence has an interesting story as he’s struggled to stay healthy over the past two seasons, following a strong start to his career with the Ducks. Through his first two seasons, Florence recorded 35 tackles, […]
Christmas is over, Canada has been eliminated by Czechia yet again in the World Juniors, and the NHL stretch run before the Olympic break is now underway. The Maple Leafs have done a good job of collecting points lately, going 4-0-2, which has technically put them ahead of three teams in the East by points […] The post The Morgan Rielly conundrum, and how the Leafs should organize their defense after Brandon Carlo’s return – Maple Leafs Notebook appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
Through the course of the 2025 season, the Miami Hurricanes have faced several mobile quarterbacks. These kinds of players had been a thorn in Miami’s side for many, many years. But, under new DC Corey Hetherman and a rebuilt Hurricanes defense, the Canes have been able to contain and defeat mobile quarterbacks all season long. […]

When the Philadelphia Flyers called up Denver Barkey to make his NHL debut in mid-December, no one was really sure how he’d fare or how long he’d be with the big club. The 5-foot-9 forward is in his first year of professional hockey, putting up 16 points (7 goals, 9 assists) in 26 games with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. But Barkey made an immediate impact in the Flyers’ overtime loss at Madison Square Garden, picking up two primary assists in a 23-second span while looking the part of an N...
The Edmonton Oilers started the second half of the season like they started the first half — with a home loss. With 40 games remaining, the Oilers, like most of their opponents, are still looking for some consistency. They’ve yet to win three games in a row, and if St. Louis wins in Chicago on…
The Denver Nuggets will be extremely short-handed tonight as the face the Philadelphia 76ers, with Denver on a seemingly-endless… The post Preview: The remnants of the Nuggets travel to Philadelphia to face the Sixers appeared first on Denver Stiffs .
Jets fans have been trained to fear one thing above all else. That a coaching staff will somehow ruin the next young quarterback. It’s an understandable anxiety given the last two decades. But it’s also a misunderstanding of how quarterbacks are actually developed in the NFL. History shows, again and again, that quarterbacks are shaped […]

The Carolina Hurricanes and Dallas Stars are two of the top teams in the NHL and just so happen to have more than enough cap space to spend on making at least one big upgrade by the trade deadline this season to increase their chances at winning the Stanley Cup. The Hurricanes have over $15 million in cap space and are dealing with some injuries, so they could realistically look to bring in someone at each position. They have enough assets including draft picks and prospects. The Stars lost Ty...
It was just over a year ago, and Sam Ersson was feeling some national pride knowing he’d be on the Swedish roster when the 4 Nations Face-Off took place in mid-February. In the three games leading up to the National Hockey League break for the international tournament, Ersson, the then Flyers starting goaltender, laid claim to three consecutive games where he had over a .900 save percentage. He lost a 2-0 decision to Colorado, making 30 of 32 stops. The following game, Ersson was sensational, ...
After Monday’s practice, Craig Berube discussed his many injury situations, the team’s play over the last 10 games, Nick Robertson and Bobby McMann’s seasons to date, and Auston Matthews catching fire offensively.

Sure, and then I am done after that: Jake […] The post Craig Berube on the recent play of Auston Matthews & his line: “He has really stepped it up… The speed on the line has really helped Auston” appeared fir...
Since the moment he returned to Coral Gables to be the Miami Hurricanes’ head coach, Mario Cristobal has been clear that the foundation of this program needed to be rebuilt. This was not a coat of paint and new light fixtures kind of freshening up; this was a “tear it down to the foundation and […]
Sidney Crosby has been named the NHL’s second star of the week after scoring 4 goals and 4 assists for the Penguins in 4 games — all wins for Pittsburgh. Crosby was joined on the NHL’s stars of the week list with Tampa Bay’s Nikita Kucherov (3 goals and 7 assists in 3 games) and […]
Danny Briere has done it again — and it’s only slightly tongue-in-cheek. The Philadelphia Flyers acquired former first-round pick Philip Tomasino from the Pittsburgh Penguins last week for disgruntled defenseman Egor Zamula. Zamula had fallen out of favor in Philadelphia under Rick Tocchet and changed his representation in an attempt to facilitate a contract termination. Briere and the Flyers didn’t give in to Zamula’s demands, though, insisting that they would be able to trade the d...
The Pittsburgh Penguins clearly didn't do their research on Yegor Zamula as once the team acquired him in a one-for-one swap with the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for Philip Tomasino, Zamula failed to report to the AHL and his contract is being terminated. Egor Zamula (PIT) is on unconditional waivers for a contract termination -- he'll become an unrestricted free agent tomorrow if unclaimed, and has multiple interested NHL suitors — Chris Johnston (@reporterchris) January 5, 2026 Zamula fi...
The Carolina Panthers earned the dubious honor of being the only team in NFL history to enter the playoffs with a losing record more than once. Of the five teams to have earned a playoff berth while sub .500, the Panthers are two of them. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are another, for the record, which […]
After a week and change jam packed with action, the day has finally arrived — four teams will be facing off for medals to cap off the 2026 World Junior Championships in Minnesota.
