Craig Berube addressed the media after his team’s wild 7-6 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Kings, dropping the Leafs’ record to 32-31-14. On the team’s performance: We came out hard. I thought we played a hard game. We were in the box a lot. We took too many penalties. But the penalty kill did […] The post Craig Berube on scratching Jacob Quillan vs. LA: “I wanted Pezzetta in there for physicality” appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
INDIANAPOLIS — As the buzzer sounded, the overflow of emotion refused to stay bottled up. Frustration lingered as Illinois saw the curtains close on its season; it all pointed towards the end of a magical season. A season not complete without its exhilarating highs and devastating lows. A season, like that of the three other […]
Illinois Fighting Illini power forward David Mirkovic said it best in postgame: “It just happens, the basketball, it doesn’t want to get in.” That was exactly how it felt watching Illinois lose to UConn 71-62 tonight in the Final Four. The Illini got a lot of great open looks, both inside and outside. Assistant coach/offensive […] The post David Mirkovic on Illini Loss: ‘it just wasn’t our day, it happens’ appeared first on The Sports Bank .
Marc Bernal had a tough evening on Saturday as he came on as a substitute to replace Ronald Araujo against Atletico but didn’t see out the game. The midfielder had to go off in the second half after picking up a knock in a fresh injury blow for Hansi Flick’s side. According to Gerard Romero, […]
Every so often a blind squirrel finds a nut and the Rays bullpen did just that this evening tossing three scoreless innings to lock down a 7-1 victory over the Minnesota Twins. However, the real story on the frigid Saturday night was the performance turned in by Steven Matz, who picked up his second win […]
Ever since it became official that Brad Treliving was relieved of his duties as GM by the Toronto Maple Leafs, the name of St. Louis Blues' executive Doug Armstrong has been linked as the top candidate for the Toronto job — whether that job be President of hockey ops, GM, or both. But on Hockey Night in Canada on Saturday night, insider Elliotte Friedman dropped the word that it doesn't seem like we're going to see Army setting up camp in Toronto. I mentioned Doug Armstrong, but it...
Recap of the game.
Illinois lost Saturday night in the Final Four to UConn. My take: The loss stunk. Illinois missed a lot of threes. Some of the calls were questionable. I’m grateful. Grateful because Illinois was in the Final Four. Grateful because there’s nothing like being an Illini fan. Did you see the number of people who showed […]

The Nashville Predators began their search for a new General Manager earlier this season when Barry Trotz announced he'd be stepping down. He and the front office are continuing their search, and word is they've tried to poach one of the most forward-thinking GMs in hockey. Only problem is, his current employers aren't interested in letting him go. Elliotte Friedman explains on Hockey Night in Canada: The Carolina Hurricanes wouldn't talk about it today, but I'm under the understanding.....
Nebraska and Penn State faced off on a cool and windy day at Haymarket Park, playing a doubleheader due to last night’s game being postponed. With a stiff wind blowing from the north, it surprised not one that balls were leaving the park today and making every flyball an adventure. If you were to give a […]
First Period The New Jersey Devils and Montreal Canadiens traded chances over the first five or so minutes, but both Jake Allen and Jakub Dobes made some good stops. Cole Caufield almost had the Devils beat twice, but he lost the puck after Kovacevic took a swipe at him on the first shift of the […]
The Islanders took the lead twice in this game off early goals in the first and second period, but once again came up short. Marc Gatcomb scored his third of the season, Max Shabanov scored in his return to the lineup, Anders Lee picked up his third goal in four games, Mat Barzal got his […]
UConn is playing in the last game of the season, with a chance to win the program’s seventh national championship after beating Illinois, 71-62, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. “There’s no better feeling than being on that bus on Monday night, just being one of the last two teams standing,” Husky head coach Dan […]

The day started poorly, but by the time we had finished things were looking a bit brighter. Let’s talk about the afternoon game first. Luinder Avila got his first major league start and, at times, you could see why the Royals are still so high on him as a starter. His stuff is electric, especially […]
Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs burned the Louisville Bats (Reds), 8-6 in a game that ended in the sixth inning because of rain. Jaxon Wiggins had a rough start today, going four innings and giving up four runs on five hits. Wiggins walked three and struck out four. Luke Little didn’t pitch any better, but […]
I wonder if Marquette women’s lacrosse head coach Meredith Black would say that she saw the most complete performance of the season from her team on Saturday against #24 Villanova. Six of Marquette’s last eight games have been a wee bit shaky one way or another, and if you want to count a 15-9 loss […]
INDIANAPOLIS – Before Saturday night’s matchup, UConn had won 12 of its last 13 Final Four games. For Illinois, a program that had only won just one Final Four game ever, the task was simple: keep Tarris Reed Jr. away from the glass and make life difficult for him in the paint. “Most of the […]
First period Cole Caufield accepts a bank-pass and tries to go across the top of Jake Allen’s crease, but former teammate Johnny Kovacevic makes the stick-check just before he can fire the puck. Ivan Demidov gets past a couple of players at the defensive blue line to go in on a two-on-one, but can’t see a lane to Alex Newhook to get a pass through. His initial shot gets stopped, but he collects the rebound, curls back to the slot, and gets another shot that deflects out of play. ...
Decked out in Minnesota’s freshest uniforms, and making his first start at Target Field, Mick Abel struggled through four innings, and the Twins lineup was unable to keep things interesting, as the Rays evened the series with a snoozy 7-1 victory. Abel labored through his first two innings, allowing a pair of two-out baserunners in […]
Box Score The Brewers and Royals played a game with a lot of baserunners but not a lot of action tonight, except for one big inning. The Royals busted the game open with a five-run, two-out rally in the sixth, an inning full of sloppiness on Milwaukee’s part, a Royals inning that felt almost Brewers-y. […]
Perhaps it’s time for us to just accept that the Bruins and Florida Men don’t pair well together. After a solidly played first 40 minutes, the Bruins allowed three unanswered goals in the third period to drop their second Florida game in a row, losing to Tampa Bay, 3-1. Casey Mittelstadt scored the Bruins’ only […]
Coming into this game, the Braves had exorcised a lot of their 2025 demons with their 6-2 start, but one remained conspicuously absent: the one-run loss. Well, in their ninth game of the season, they finally had a one-run decision, and, in somewhat-reminiscent-of-2025 fashion, it was a loss that probably could have, and at times […]
FC Dallas delivered a statement performance with a 4-0 win over D.C. United behind goals from Logan Farrington, Patrickson Delgado, Osaze Urhoghide, and Petar Musa.
