On a raw, rainy Sunday night at Highmark Stadium in Buffalo, the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles showed up and overcame an absent second-half offense, nasty weather conditions and the Super Bowl-contending Buffalo Bills, 13-12. The Eagles are 11-5 and remain alive for the No. 2 seed in the NFC, with a victory over Washington […]

Boston traveled to Portland Sunday night having won the past six meetings between the two teams. The Trail Blazers came into the game with many injured players, their youngsters hanging tough with the seasoned Celtics to snatch a big 114-108 home win. Jaylen Brown had 37 points for Boston in a historic record-setting game for […]
Playing twice in less than 24 hours (great job, schedule makers), the Islanders had far from their best but nearly pulled out a point or two before falling late to the Blue Jackets in Columbus, 4-2. The Isles held a slim 2-1 lead till the final five minutes, when a fortunate deflection canceled several previous […]
We’re down to it for the Dallas Cowboys. One more football game to play, a Week 18 tilt against an NFC East opponent, then months and months of the offseason broken up temporarily by free agency and the draft. Dallas will hit the road in the finale of the 2025 season to take on the […]
Beyond Sunday’s bout with Old Dominion, Maryland men’s basketball has nothing but Big Ten opponents on slate. That’s just one of the reasons why snapping its three-game losing skid was so essential. And the Terps capitalized on the opportunity, forging some serious momentum before Big Ten play erupts. Maryland stuffed the first-half stat sheet with […]
It isn’t how most teams would like to go about their winning ways, but the Tampa Bay Lightning wrapped up 2025 with a shoot-out victory over the Montreal Canadiens. Nikita Kucherov scored twice as the Lightning won their fourth game in a row and moved into a tie with Detroit atop of the Atlantic Division.
The Lightning did have a few reinforcements in the line-up. Brandon Hagel returned to action while the newly recalled Max Groshev made his NHL debut. In net was Jonas Johansson, and he w...
In the game of who can control the line of scrimmage and get opportunistic plays in the passing game, the Buffalo Bills weren’t able to get enough going on offense to knock off the Philadelphia Eagles and officially ceded the AFC East divisional title to the New England Patriots. The rain early was expected, dictating […]
The Carolina Panthers are playing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next week for the NFC South title and the winner could end up hosting the Los Angeles Rams in the wild card round of the playoffs. Kind of. There’s a chance that next week’s game between the Panthers and Bucs is not an outright division title […]
Sunday Night Football pits two 11-win teams going at it as the Chicago Bears face the San Francisco 49ers in a game where the loser is eliminated from contention for the number one seed in the NFC. An illness wormed its way through Halas Hall this week, which added several Bears to the injury report, but DJ Moore and […]
The Cleveland Browns knocked off the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17 of the 2025 NFL season despite not playing well themselves for three quarters of the game. Losing TE Harold Fannin Jr. after his touchdown in the 1st quarter hindered an already limited offense, while LB Carson Schwesinger was limited as he gutted out what […]
Second-guess the last play all you want. Things didn’t go how anyone in Western New York drew it up. For much of the afternoon, it felt like the Buffalo Bills’ offense had no business playing for a win late in the fourth quarter against a Philadelphia Eagles defense that came in prepared to shut them […]
It’s expected to be a quiet January transfer window at Chelsea Football Club, though that doesn’t mean we’re not going to see any player movement whatsoever. Could Jorrel Hato be among those possibly looking for minutes elsewhere in the second half of the season? That is surely highly unlikely, but rumors in the Netherlands claim […]
For the second straight week, Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen had X-rays on his foot/ankle after the game. Last week, it was at halftime against the Cleveland Browns.

First period
A nice start from Phillip Danualt’s line with Josh Anderson and Alexandre Texier sees the Canadiens play the first shift of the game in the offensive zone.
Ivan Demidov creates a zone entry and Juraj Slafkovský gets a shot from the slot. Looks like there isn’t a great deal of rust to shake off for Montreal.
That line turns some play in the defensive zone into another shot on Johan Johansson. They have looked great recently.
Anderson goes six feet offside unne...
Whenever the Toronto Raptors host the Golden State Warriors, there’s a palpable energy that surges through the building. The obvious reason for the electric atmosphere is that these two organizations are forever connected after the 2019 NBA finals. It was a time defined by an impossible dream finally being realized for Toronto, while it marked […]
