The Edmonton Oilers like to keep you on your toes — trades, goalie injuries, call-ups, and returns to the lineup, all during the busiest stretch leading up to Christmas. It’s pure hockey cinema. To make things even spicier, add in the fact that Connor McDavid is playing lights out right now, and with the way…
The Portland Trail Blazers are facing off against the Detroit Pistons at home in the first game of a long five-game homestand. Portland is coming into this game off the back of two straight wins over the Sacramento Kings, and on a three-game win streak all together. On the other side, Detroit currently sits atop […]
One thing I’ve tried to be careful about this year is grading the Jets on a curve. When a team is bad, the easiest thing in the world to do is rage for clicks. The reality entering this season, however, was that the Jets were likely to be a bad team. The roster was short […]
The Anaheim Ducks and Seattle Kraken face off on Monday at Honda Center in Anaheim, and the sportsbooks fancy the home team (-191) over the visitor (+158). Watch the NHL on Fubo!

The Edmonton Oilers and Vegas Golden Knights both came into Sunday’s game in the second half of a back-to-back weekend, and with each club missing key pieces, it was tough to predict what to expect in their first matchup of the season. Unsurprisingly, the game featured plenty of ebbs and flows, as both sides took…
Mike and Dan lament the Islanders three loses last week and how poorly they looked through most of them, before discussing a recent article about growing the team’s fanbase. Losing three games because one of your best players is hurt is one thing. Looking like you forgot how to play hockey is something entirely different. […]
The New Jersey Devils welcomed back an entire top six line in last night’s game against the Buffalo Sabres. Timo Meier returned from his personal leave, Arseny Gritsyuk returned from his undisclosed injury, and of course, Jack Hughes made his long-awaited return from his freak accident at a Chicago restaurant. Hughes even scored the first […]
Oregon women’s basketball finished their non-conference slate with a game at the Chase Center in San Francisco to face an old Pac-12 rival, the Stanford Cardinal. The Ducks played well in the middle quarters, but Stanford took over in the fourth to win the game, 64-53. The Cardinal jumped on Oregon early, and a 9-0 […]
The team at Blueshirt Banter kicks off our Olympic coverage by projecting how Team Czechia could line up at the 2026 Winter games.
The Seattle Seahawks got to enjoy a stress-free weekend after the improbable, unbelievable 38-37 OT thriller over the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday Night Football. Seattle is currently the No. 1 seed with a clear path to home field advantage…just keep winning. They’ll have to complete their mission on the road for the rest of […]
The New Orleans Saints made it three straight wins after a dominant 29-6 victory over the New York Jets. With a 4-3 record under rookie quarterback Tyler Shough, New Orleans is hitting the ground running to end the 2025 season. While they are already eliminated from the playoffs for this season and are collecting “meaningless” […]
The St. Louis Blues are three points out of a playoff spot in the West and have a game in hand, but a team that is under .500 isn't going to make the playoffs when it's all said and done. There have been many discussions surrounding players to be traded from the Blues this season, and Jordan Kyrou is one of them. The difference with Kyrou and the majority of the players involved in trade rumors on the Blues is that he's relatively young and has term left on his contract. At this point with the...
The Pittsburgh Penguins snapped a couple of losing streaks on Sunday night with their 4-3 win over the Montreal Canadiens. The most important streak it snapped is the eight-game losing streak they were on. Arguably the more satisfying streak that it snapped was their nine-game shootout losing streak that went all the way back to […]
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Unless it isn’t. The first half of the season is filled with checkpoints for NHL teams. There’s the curse of November 1st, when you’d better be within four points of the playoffs. By U.S. Thanksgiving, you’d better be in there, somewhere, or else you've really got your work cut out for you. But by the holiday freeze? At this point, for most teams, you are what you are. And when some teams open up their presents at this time of year, they find a lump of...
The Blackhawks were off yesterday, things are bad here, and the Blackhawks don’t play again until tomorrow. So I want to start our Monday with some respect for an all-time great making history on Sunday. Sidney Crosby had two points on Sunday. The second, an assist on a power-play goal by Rickard Rakell at 12:40 of the first period, gave him 1,724 points (645 goals, 1,079 assists). That’s one point more than Mario Lemieux, and now the most points in Pittsburgh Penguins history. Hocke...

Less than 24 hours after finishing a 4-0 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Montreal Canadiens travelled to Pennsylvania with their opponents to meet again at PPG Paints Arena. It ended up being a somewhat predictably sloppy game, and the Habs were able to get a point by fighting to overtime, before ultimately falling 4-3 in a shootout. They wouldn’t have salvaged that point without their second line, which was without a doubt their most dangerous on the night. Great job by Demido...
In a tight race in the Eastern Conference, the Ottawa Senators are right in the mix and climbing back up the standings. They have won four games in a row and are five games above .500, sitting one point back of the final playoff spot with a game in hand. The team has over $3.75 million cap space to work with at this time. That isn't enough for a larger upgrade that they have reportedly been eyeing for a while though. According to Bruce Garrioch, "The Senators have shown interest in Ryan O'Reil...

The PWHL needs third jerseys, so LJ came up with some designs inspired by local women's hockey history.
Good morning, everyone, and a happy Christmas-week Monday to you all. As per tradition, I’ve got a brand new mailbag set to go after taking your questions and sending them to the crew for their takes. This week, we’re discussing Tristan Jarry’s injury, an Oilers wishlist for Santa, Trent Frederic, and more. If you’ve got…
Even with every built-in excuse on the board, the Rangers’ lifeless loss in Nashville felt depressingly familiar—and reinforced why trusting this team remains impossible.
It’s Victory Monday and Week 17 in the NFL and the New Orleans Saints are now 5-10 on the season after defeating the New York Jets 29-6 in Caesars Superdome on Sunday afternoon. Tyler Shough had another great day, completing 32/49 for 308 yards and a touchdown in the Saints home finale. It was also […]
