The Seattle Seahawks’ rookies logged a combined 151 snaps in Week 17 against the Carolina Panthers.

What looked like a clean, winner-take-all setup in the NFC South took another strange turn Sunday, because of course it did. When both the Carolina Panthers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost in Week 17, it appeared the division would come down to a simple Saturday showdown in Tampa Bay. Win, and you’re in. Lose, and you’re out. Except this NFL season has refused to cooperate with simplicity. The NFC South Isn’t Done Yet — And the Falcons Are the Wild Card Carolina (8–8) still controls it...

The calendar year is almost over, the New Year’s Eve parties are being planned, and people are preparing to make 2026 the best year ever. Well, at least one can hope. And the Philadelphia Flyers are no different. So far, the Flyers have been one of the better (and surprising) stories of the 2025-26 season. Here then are five resolutions that Philadelphia could try to adhere to starting on January 1, particularly if they want to play more than 82 games this season. Start scoring first ...

For a Miami program looking to recapture past glory, the odds are daunting […]
While the dust is still settling on the Quinn Hughes blockbuster trade, the Minnesota Wild likely still has business to conduct. The Central Division is an arms race this season, and the Wild has some deficiencies to shore up. The main area they can improve is at center. With the team still in...
The Edmonton Oilers gutted out a 3–1 win over the Winnipeg Jets last night, doing so without forward Andrew Mangiapane, who was a healthy scratch. Perhaps the scratch was simply a reflection of his recent play, or it could signal something more. As Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman noted on a recent episode of the 32 Thoughts…

Devin Cooley has made quite the impression as backup goalie for the Calgary Flames—both on and off the ice. In 13 appearances (10 starts), he's logged a .914 save percentage and a 2.40 goals against average. The Flames have seen enough to know that they want him around for a while, and have locked Cooley up to a two-year extension worth $2.7 million (AAV of $1.35M). TOO COOL 😎 Devin Cooley has signed a two-year contract extension with an AAV of $1.35 million! pic.twitter.com/mgP3wvLkH6 — Calga...

So, the Blackhawks came out of the Christmas break with a thrilling win in Dallas and a dull thud at home against the Pittsburgh Penguins. That’s kinda the way things have gone this season, isn’t it?

The Blackhawks held only an optional morning skate today, so these are the new lines we saw at practi...

The Rams have to play their starters against the Cardinals in Week 18 and the reason has nothing to do with playoff seeds. It’s because Sean McVay, Matthew Stafford, and the Rams can’t go into the playoffs having lost four of their last six games with handouts to teams like the Panthers, Falcons, and Cardinals. […]
