Game Review: Resilient Maple Leafs find their way back in Winnipeg to end tough road trip on a high note

A gutsy third-period effort to erase a 3-1 deficit in Winnipeg turned a tough road trip into a relatively successful one (five of eight points) for the Maple Leafs. Ahead of a travel-heavy, condensed trip through Colorado, Utah, Vegas, and Winnipeg, the realistic goal for the Maple Leafs was simply to keep pace in the […] The post Game Review: Resilient Maple Leafs find their way back in Winnipeg to end tough road trip on a high note appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .

Ted’s Talk: The Seattle Seahawks are a runaway freight train, and the 49ers found out

That was supremely satisfying. Mike Macdonald loves his rallying cries, whether it’s “12 as one”, “Chasing Edges,” or “E.A.T.”. I’ve got another one for the Seattle Seahawks after that 41-6 dismantling of the San Francisco 49ers in the Division Round – Professional Destruction.  Those two words embody Macdonald’s vision for the team and perfectly encapsulate […]

Barcelona’s midfield puzzle: Academy prospects at a crossroads

FC Barcelona are used to conversations about patience when it comes to young midfielders. This winter, that patience is being tested from several angles at once. The most jarring case is that of Dro Fernández. The 18-year-old has opted to trigger his €6m release clause this January, a move that caught those inside the Ciutat […]

On This Day (18th Jan 1994) Lee Leaves It Late As Lads Get Job Done

Having played, rather infamously, in 1974 and then as recently as 2014, Sunderland and Carlisle United are no strangers to FA Cup meet ups. The clubs were even drawn against each other for two years running in 1994 and 1995, with both ties having to be settled via replays at Brunton Park – the first […]

Obituary: Former Sunderland Defender Alan Black

Everybody at Roker Report was saddened to learn of the death of former Sunderland player Alan Black, who passed away recently at the age of 82. The following is an updated version of an article that was originally published in 2024 to celebrate his 81st birthday… Having joined from Dumbarton Alan Black provided cover mainly […]

2 Up, 2 Down: Sunderland See Off Palace For Another Home Success!

John Wilson says… Trai Hume makes his point I thought Hume played very well. Whenever people discuss a predicted team, it’s Hume that gets the push. He’s not always guaranteed his right back berth but it’s not a problem as he can slot in at left back or more recently, in midfield. He was also […]

Talking Points: Sunderland Get Back To Winning Ways Against Crystal Palace!

Sunderland emerge from their winless run — and impressively so! After a Christmas and New Year run that hardly represented a “slump” but was marked by one or two less-than-convincing displays and culminated in a disappointing defeat at the hands of Brentford, this felt like an ideal opportunity for the Lads to rediscover the winning […]

Matchday Musings: This Is ‘New Sunderland’ — Galvanised By Conceding!

After two weeks of back-page murmurs and speculation, Sunderland finally ‘joined the chat’ in the January transfer market, announcing the acquisition of Jocelin Ta Bi — a reportedly crafty winger from Israeli side Maccabi Netanya. Fashionably going by his first name on the back of his shirt, à la trendsetters ‘Virgil’ van Dijk, as well […]

Sunderland’s Comeback Win & City Revival: A Perfect Afternoon

We normally drive up from Yorkshire for home games but, for a variety of reasons, I attended the game against Crystal Palace on my own. A quick check of rail fares meant that the Grand Central return ticket was less than £20 (courtesy of being an old git with a Senior railcard) so, accompanied by […]

Over My Head: Bruins 5, Blackhawks 2

Despite scoring the first two goals of the game, the Blackhawks allowed five unanswered goals to fall 5-2 to the Bruins on Saturday night, losing their fourth straight home game. The Blackhawks struck first at 16:14 of the opening period. Just seconds after a power play expired, Andre Burakovsky found Ryan Greene alone in the slot, and Greene snapped a wrist shot past Joonas Korpisalo to give Chicago a 1-0 lead.

Depleted Lakers blown out by Blazers

The Lakers were routed by the Portland Trail Blazers, 132-116, on Saturday night. Without Luka Dončić, Austin Reaves, Deandre Ayton and Jaxson Hayes, the Lakers were forced to go deep into their bench. While there were some standout offensive performances, the Lakers ultimately could muster little resistance defensively. It was a Maxi Kleber takeover from […]

Suns 106, Knicks 99: Not even home can’t fix them woes

The New York Knicks came up short again Saturday night at Madison Square Garden, falling 106-99 to the Phoenix Suns. Missed opportunities? Check. Turnovers? Double check. No late-game execution? Triple check. Devin Booker returned after missing one game for the Suns, but Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart couldn’t say the same. Book dropped 27 points, […]
