Rick Tocchet is fed up with answering questions about Matvei Michkov

Philadelphia Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet is really sick and tired of answering questions about Matvei Michkov and wants to focus on literally anything else. Coming into this season, a whole lot of the conversation surrounding this team was just how much the young Russian star could level up his play in his sophomore season. Wondering if he could hit triple digits in points, if he could take his John Tortorella-led teachings and start to care about defense, and all the rest. But when Mi...

Around the NFL: Panthers Atop NFC South, Jags Stay Hot, Broncos Stumble, More

The Carolina Panthers haven’t sniffed the postseason since 2017, but on Sunday, they took their biggest step yet toward ending that drought. Carolina outlasted the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23-20 in a tense, back-and-forth divisional fight at Bank of America Stadium, moving into sole possession of first place in the NFC South with just two games to play. Panthers Take Control of the NFC South With Gritty Win Over Bucs — and Set Up a Massive Week 17 The defining moment came in the final mi...

Blackhawks Close to Getting Captain Nick Foligno Back

The Blackhawks will be without the two young centerpieces of their rebuild for the next while, but they might be getting their captain back off injured reserve in time for their last game before Christmas. Nick Foligno was a full participant in practice on Monday and looks to be back in the lineup when the Blackhawks host the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday night. Blackhawks head coach Jeff Blashill was not at practice on Monday , but assistant coach Mike Vellucci said they’ll determine if...

Oilers Thoughts: McDavid in turbo mode, Ingram’s resilience rewarded, Draisaitl’s goalless stretch, Hyman for Team Canada and more

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 Devils Will Need To Make Cap Space Very Soon

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 WBB Loses To Stanford, 64-53

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 […]

Ups and downs from Saints vs. Jets

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” […]

Surprisingly Western Conference Team Linked To Blues' Kyrou

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...

NHL weekend rankings: Thoughts on the Panthers, Blue Jackets, and holiday panic

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...

History for Crosby, Lardis’ Path, Nestrašil’s Trajectory, PWHL Reaction, and Other Blackhawks Bullets

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...

Bottom Six Minutes: Second line helps the Habs get a point

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...

Senators Linked To Former Selke Trophy Winner In West

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...
