What Happened in November? November started excellently. The Devils went 4-1-1 through the first six games of the month, though four of those games (3-0-1) went to overtime. Their only bad game was the back-end of a back-to-back on November 2, when they lost 4-1 to the Anaheim Ducks. On November 12, things finally started […]
Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet added to his storied NHL legacy after the Flyers’ 5-3 win versus the New Jersey Devils, tallying his 300th career win as a head coach. In the same game where Owen Tippett scored his 100th NHL goal, the 2023-24 Jack Adams award winner hit the triple century mark, while the Flyers improved to a 14-7-3 record on the season. The 18 year NHL veteran began his coaching career in Tampa Bay in 2008, before an eight year layoff that was then followed by stops in...

The Texas Rangers have signed free agent righthanded pitcher Anthony David Maui La’akea “Bubba” Hoopii-Tuionetoa to a minor league deal, per the MLB.com transactions page. So, this is kind of fun news. Hoopii-Tuionetoa was a 30th round pick of the 2019 draft out of Pierce College by the Rangers, and worked his way up the […]
The Dallas Cowboys have been playing much better defensively over the last three games thanks to the addition of defensive tackle Quinnen Williams, plus some others returning from injury. A few days ago, it was announced that cornerback Trevon Diggs, who hasn’t played since Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers, is expected to be back […]
The first half of the New York Jets game against the Atlanta Falcons is in the books, and the Jets are tied with the Falcons, 7 – 7. The game opened with both offenses struggling, failing to advance much past midfield. A scoreless first quarter ended with the Jets on the move in Falcons territory. The Jets […]
The Los Angeles Rams lead the Carolina Panthers by a score of 21-17 after the first half of play. It was expected that the Rams would tack on another win this week, and they might, but the Panthers have showed up to play, while the Rams started with some mistakes early to put the Panthers […]
Carolina capped off a miserable season with a miserable performance at NC State on Saturday, racking up 11 penalties for 129 yards en route to a 42-19 loss. As he was against Duke last week, Jordan Shipp was the best player on the field for the Tar Heels. He finished with eight receptions for a […]

A chance to rebound for the Sens on a rare Sunday night road game
The Carolina Panthers are back in the market for a signature upset win. The Los Angeles Rams are one of the best teams in football this year. This could hardly work better as a script if it was written for Hollywood. Unfortunately, this is reality and the odds are that the good team plays well […]
Utah Mammoth star Logan Cooley was forced from their game with the St. Louis Blues Saturday night in the third period, after a knee-on-knee collision with Blues forward Alexey Toropchenko. It looked bad, as most knee-on-knees do. But the initial word from medical tests has the Mammoth breathing a huge sigh of relief. Sounds like #TusksUp Logan Cooley dodged a bullet - initial finding was that Cooley has a quad contusion. Cooley is getting MRI imaging to confirm there is no knee damage, t...
The Hurricanes are back tonight with another home game against the Calgary Flames at 5 PM in the Lenovo Center with a chance at the top spot in the Metropolitan Division. Friday’s 5-1 win over the Winnipeg Jets was a get-right game for the Canes, who before that had only won two of their last […]
Laurent Brossoit hasn't played a game for the Chicago Blackhawks since signing a two-year, $6.6 million deal with them in the summer of 2024. He's been out recovering first from knee surgery, then hip surgery. It's cost him a season and a half, but he's getting closer to a return. Insider Elliotte Friedman noted on Hockey Night in Canada that, while his future doesn't appear to be in a Blackhawks uniform, as they don't have room for him in their crease, a notable suitor is lurking, and Chicago...
Hail, traveler! It’s nearly time for Falcons football again. This time out, it’ll be a Falcons – Jets game, a series where the Falcons and Jets have managed to score over 28 points just once, when New York did it in 2013. These games tend to be close, they tend to be unspeakably ugly, and […]
The Los Angeles Rams (9-2) travel to take on the Carolina Panthers (6-6) in what could be a one-sided affair as the Rams are expected to walk away Sunday with a win. But it’s any given Sunday in the NFL, and the Panthers have had some weeks where they’ve looked good, so check out our […]
On November 30, 2023, Pittsburgh Penguins netminder Tristan Jarry became the 14th goaltender to be credited with a goal in a NHL game and the 9th goaltender to shoot the puck into the net. Defending a 3-2 lead against Tampa Bay with a minute remaining on the road, Jarry collected an Anthony Cirelli tip in and promptly fired it 175 feet into the Lightning's empty cage. The
On November 30th in 2005, Boston Bruins GM Mike O'Connell traded the jewel of the 1997 Draft to Doug Wilson's San Jose Sharks for first rounders Wayne Primeau (17th in 1994), Marco Sturm (21st in 1996), and Brad Stuart (3rd in 1998), stunning pundits from coast to coast. Blindsided by the deal, Joe Thornton went on to win the Art Ross and Hart trophies in his west coast debut, cinching the
On November 30th in 2009, Florida Panthers defenseman Keith Ballard bloodied teammate Tomas Vokoun with a vicious slash to the head after Atlanta Thrashers star Ilya Kovalchuk scored halfway through the first period. Vokoun exited on a stretcher after a 10 minute delay and was transported to a local hospital for treatment. The Czech netminder escaped serious injury, needing only 10 stitches to
The Los Angeles Rams announced their inactive players on Sunday morning, including newly re-acquired cornerback Derion Kendrick. L.A.’s other inactives are RB Jarquez Hunter, C Beaux Limmer, DL Desjuan Johnson, and Stetson Bennett, who will serve as the emergency QB. Kam Kinchens, Poona Ford, and David Quessenberry were listed as questionable on Friday but all […]
It’s week 13 of the NFL season and the New York Jets are at home in East Rutherford, New Jersey to take on the Atlanta Falcons. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. EST. The Jets have opened the 2025 season with 2-9 record. They started with seven straight losses, won two straight, and now have […]
The Blackhawks have lost five straight games. Their last game was an unusually flat performance on home ice, which was even more disappointing because they broke out their black uniforms for the first time in nearly two decades. They’ll have the black on again today. Hopefully the on-ice effort (at least) is better. The Anaheim Ducks come in 5-5-0 in their last 10 games and their last two games have been 5-4 finals (one regulation loss to Vancouver, Friday night an overtime win against th...
What did we learn about the Edmonton Oilers this week? Not much. The Oilers have long been fans of the zig-zag. Think they’re turning the corner? No, no. That game against Dallas was a classic Oilers trap. Coming off an emotional win vs arch-nemesis Florida, they had one of their several letdown games this season. …
