How about Connor Bedard, eh ? I’m not a hockey guy, but he is the kind of rising talent that could get me glancing over at the Blackhawks more and more. … which makes me think about the Cubs, and about the nature of making non-fans into casual fans, and casual fans into hardcore fans. I think it’s probable that having really interesting, exciting players or storylines is what can bring folks into the fold if they otherwise paid very little attention to the team or the sport. But it’s wi...

Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. It’s that time of the week again, folks. We’re trying to take the pulse of Minnesota […]
It wasn’t perfect. Heck, it wasn’t even pretty at times. The second period felt like the same script we’ve seen too many times already this year — especially against a team that was playing the second half of a back-to-back. Young guys made mistakes. The foot came off the gas pedal for about five minutes and things went from lovely to uncomfortable real quick. But you know what? Unlike the games against Vancouver and Los Angeles — the two previous back-to-back opponents — the second perio...
A lot happened in the LSU Football program this past weekend. While there is plenty of coverage regarding all of that on and the valley shook dot com, this post is discussing what the former Tigers were up to! Vikings 10 at Chargers 37 Justin Jefferson led the Vikings with seven catches for 74 yards. […]

Coming off a much-needed bye week, your Detroit Lions are back in action. They’re 5-2 and second in the NFC North, a half a game behind the leading Green Bay Packers. For the first time this year, they take on the Minnesota Vikings, who are in last place in the division at 3-4. The Vikings […]
Pittman most under appreciated Colts! IU Footbal keeps head – spread grows! Pacers tonight!
On Monday night, the Boston Celtics faced off against the New Orleans Pelicans, managing to come away with their first win of the season. In what was a close game throughout the night, the Celtics managed to create plenty of separation in the fourth quarter, finishing the night on a 31-4 run. As part of […]
Per a Spurs press release: As a result of last season’s inaugural “Champions for Change” event, the San Antonio Spurs are proud to announce the distribution of nearly $100,000 in grant funding to local nonprofit organizations recognized for their extraordinary community impact. Through funds raised at the Champions for Change event, which brought together Spurs […]
If you’re going to be one of the NBA’s worst teams, which the Wizards are, there are going to be nights like this one. Oh wait, I used that lede after the last one. Well, it applies to this one too. For most of the game’s first 46 minutes, the Washington Wizards outplayed the Philadelphia […]
Jaylen Brown improved to probable ahead of Celtics-Cavaliers with what the Celtics labeled left hamstring reconditioning since late last week. He entered the games in Detroit and New Orleans, a back-to-back, questionable before ultimately playing and thriving in both games. Brown, who scored 41 points on 12-for-25 shooting against the Pistons in his best showing […]
IT WOULD BE EASILY UNDERSTANDABLE if your focus wasn’t beaming onto Utah’s Keyonte George at the moment. Lauri Markkanen just assaulted Phoenix for a career-high 51 points on Monday, and appears to be back in All-Star form (who could have foreseen?). The Jazz, in turn, have apparently discarded all blueprints for their hole-in-the-ground residence at […]

After a 1-3 start to the regular season, many fans are struggling to comprehend how such a talented Dallas Mavericks roster has so far executed a faceplant in the win column. How could such an elite group of bigs, inclusive of coveted Cooper Flagg, continue to have performances that don’t demonstrate that elite nature? The […]
Amen Thompson is Schrodinger’s point guard. He is both a point guard and isn’t. Through three games, the Rockets have begun prying open the box. So far, it looks like we’ve got a dead cat on our hands. Thompson has mostly not looked prepared for the responsibility of orchestrating an NBA team’s offense. It’s a […]
It has been a bumpy start for Boston. With a talent drain and a reconstructed roster, it is naturally taking time for players to fall into their roles. They may be in the right chapter, but they’re not all on the same page. Still, even amid the early growing pains, flashes of promise are starting […]

Coming off three consecutive seasons with a bottom-10 offense, the Miami Heat have been shredding opponents like Grady A cheese through the first week of action.

Connor Bedard scored the first hat trick of his NHL career as the Blackhawks built a 4-0 lead, nearly threw it away, but then finished off a grumpy Ottawa Senators squad by the score of 7-3 on Tuesday night at the United Center. Colton Dach put the Hawks up 1-0 when he pounced on this rebound of a Louis Crevier shot for his first goal of the season: GOAL: Colton Dach puts in the rebound for his 1st of the season to open the scoring pic.twitter.com/u547UQLVyJ — BHF (@BlackhawksF...
After winning their first game of the season, the Houston Rockets can now turn their attention to finding their preferred style of play and improving cohesion. Today, they will be tested by the Toronto Raptors. Toronto is 1-3 on the season. After a surprise beatdown of the Atlanta Hawks in their first game, they have […]
The message from head coach Jeff Blashill to his players after the Blackhawks lost to the Kings on Sunday evening was pretty simple. When you get a team in the second half of a back-to-back, don’t take your foot off the gas. And take advantage of your opportunities. Against the Kings, the Blackhawks dominated the first period but skated away with only one goal. Tonight, the Blackhawks put three goals on the board before the opening 20 minutes came to a close. And, when that horn sounded, ...
The second installment of Michael Jordan’s exclusive interview with the NBA on NBC dropped Tuesday night. In this week’s episode, Jordan shared his thoughts on “load management,” which has become a staple for teams over the past handful of years. Many organizations will intentionally rest their star talent in hopes of avoiding injury trouble and keeping their legs fresh. To little surprise, this trend has not sat well with the best to ever do it. Jordan suited up for all 82 games nin...
