Before the Winter Olympics took place, Flyers defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen wasn’t thought to be an important piece of Team Finland’s hopes in terms of competing for a gold medal or even ending up in the medal round. The idea was that he’d have some time to play, look decent at best and hopefully avoid some freak injury and return to Philadelphia in one piece. That was the goal. Anything else would be considered gravy. Well, Flyers general manager Danny Briere might be smiling like the ca...

As we head into the medal matchups in the final games of the Olympics, we’re taking some time to revisit some of the top performances by Flyers players in tournaments past. The research found great success linked Finland and Philadelphia at Olympic games, which bodes well for our defenseman, Rasmus Ristolainen, as he prepares to battle for bronze against Slovakia. But let’s get into the meat of this. Kimmo Timonen’s 2010 bronze medal: Finland versus Slovakia The 2010 Olympics in Vanc...

These 1:00 Eastern starts really mess with my day. Being in Alberta, it is an 11:00 start. I like to get a workout in, but I’m not an early riser, so getting a GameThread together and working out before 11:00 is not going to happen. On the other hand, watching an 11:00 start-time game, doing […]

It’s been a few months since Phillies GM Dave Dombrowski made public comments questioning Bryce Harper’s status as an elite player. Harper certainly didn’t have an elite season in 2025, but is that enough to demote a player entirely? Harper has admitted to still being baffled by the comments, but the good news is that […]
For the first time since their post-mortem press conference following the Philadelphia Eagles’ season-ending loss to the San Francisco 49ers back in January, we’ll hear from Howie Roseman and Nick Sirianni this week.

In what was another dominant weekend for the Michigan State Spartans, Porter Martone once again proved why he’s seen as one of the best prospects in college hockey. The freshman winger exploded for four goals across the series, highlighted by a Friday night hat trick that showcased many elements of his toolkit. In the end, Michigan State defeated Notre Dame by a final score of 8-2. The Spartans wasted little time in this one, with Martone setting the tone almost immediately. Just over a m...
Well, this isn’t optimal. Joel Embiid has been ruled out for the Philadelphia 76ers’ visit to the New Orleans Pelicans set for Saturday evening according to the team’s injury report. The news comes after the team announced back on Wednesday that Embiid had reported right shin soreness over the All-Star break and would be re-evaluated […]

As the Flyers reconvene ahead of the return of their Olympic representatives, and the roster starts to prepare for the final 26 games of the year, some new faces joined the big club for practice, albeit briefly. Goaltender Carson Bjarnason, as well as defensemen Oliver Bonk and Hunter McDonald, were all called up from Lehigh Valley in order to fill in the gaps left behind by Dan Vladar, Rasmus Ristolainen, and Travis Sanheim, who all made the trip to Milano-Cortina. Bjarnason came up on ...
Every year we get excited for the start of the Spring Training schedule of games. A long winter without baseball finally ends, even if the games don’t count. Then we quickly remember that the spring games are usually for the players we’ve never heard of or may never hear from again, as anyone important is […]
Some key pieces of the Flyers are still over in Italy battling for medals. But most of the club has been back in Philadelphia practicing. And after three consecutive days where the team was getting back in the swing of things, assistant coach Todd Reirden says it’s important for some players to have strong finishes. And none of those came to the fore more than winger Matvei Michkov during Thursday’s post-practice presser. Although Reirden spoke in depth about the trio of players called up...

Phillies news: For those of us lucky enough to go to Clearwater, the Phillies announced the fan amenities you can expect […]
Good morning Gang Green Nation! The quarterback position will be a tough nut to crack this offseason for the New York Jets. A suggestion is made in one of the featured articles below that the Jets should trade a mid round pick for Eagles backup quarterback Tanner McKee.

The Atlanta Hawks were back from the All-Star break, and they had a matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers. So far this season, the Hawks have had the 76ers’ number, and they were looking to add on that success in this matchup. The Hawks were healthy coming into the game, except for Jonathan Kuminga, who will […]
It’s done. The dominant USA women’s team were deservingly awarded the gold medal at the 2026 Winter Olympics and it is the perfect conclusion to their story. They didn’t face much adversity until Thursday afternoon’s game against Canada, but that was also expected as the tournament would have been nothing if it wasn’t these two archrivals facing one another on the world’s biggest stage. As the Americans walked through Canada with a clutch last-minute goal and then Megan Keller scored the ...
Full disclaimer: I have no idea what the Eagles’ offense will look like in 2026. Sean Mannion has never called plays over a full NFL season. Josh Grizzard has only done it once. There is no finished product to evaluate yet, no Eagles film to diagnose, no certainty to lean on. However, we can formulate […]
