The Carolina Panthers may have been the first team eliminated from the 2025 playoffs, but they won’t be the last. That’s how the playoffs work, and we know that now from recent experience. Go us. For the first time in months, none of the remaining games have any effect on the Panthers playoff chances or […]
The Winnipeg Jets finally managed to win a game on Friday night when they downed the Los Angeles King by a score of 5 to 1. With their first victory of the 2026 calendar year under their belts, the True Northers will attempt to go on a winning streak when the New Jersey Devils visit Manitoba for a Sunday matinee. Both NHL franchises have been struggling as of late, with the hometown Jets on a 1-5-3 streak in their past 9 contests, while the Devils matched the 5 points earned with a 2-6-1 ...
Could there be a better opportunity for the Oilers to finally lock down their first three-game win streak of the season than on a night when the rival Los Angeles Kings were in town? I didn’t think so. If Edmonton couldn’t get fired up for their first matchup of the season against a tired Kings…
Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford suffered an injury to a finger on his throwing hand in the opening round of the playoffs against the Carolina Panthers. Whether it was due to the injury or not, Stafford easily had one of his worst games of the season. Both games against Carolina were his two-lowest graded […]
The New Jersey Devils have been trying to trade Dougie Hamilton for months, and haven't had any luck thanks to Hamilton getting involved in the process. The right-handed defenceman has a 10-team trade list and used his control last offseason, denying a deal that would have sent him to the San Jose Sharks. The ironic part is the Sharks are one of the biggest surprises this season and sit in a playoff spot, so Sportnet's Elliotte Friedman wonders if the talks will continue. Elliotte Friedm...
It was another disastrous performance by the Vancouver Canucks , in a 5-0 drubbing at the hands of the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night. The team is seemingly on the verge of selling some assets, starting with pending unrestricted free agent Kiefer Sherwood. But the gritty, hard-nosed forward is letting his current teammates have it before his impending exit. It's the NHL… F-----g bring it every night. To not be ready or just get out-willed in certain areas, it's unacceptable. It's ...
Good morning, folks… Alex Bregman is reportedly heading to the Chicago Cubs on a 5 year, $175 million deal. David Laurila has his Sunday Notes column up at Fangraphs.
A look at the projected lineups and pre-game interviews.
The New Jersey Devils have quickly found out their mistake in signing both Jacob Markstrom and Jake Allen to multi-year deals a year before they were free agents. There is no problem with Allen now, and he should be the starter in New Jersey if they are serious about winning games, but Markstrom is a problem this season. Allen has started one more game than Markstrom and the numbers are vastly different. Allen has a 2.61 GAA, .911 SV%, one shutout, and 5.38 goals saved above expected (GSAx). H...
James Dolan’s patience, Chris Drury’s runway, and the slow march toward acceptance—plus trade buzz around Kiefer Sherwood and renewed smoke around Artemi Panarin. It's all in this week's Media Bytes.
Whew! Take a sigh of relief Rams family. The Los Angeles Rams and Carolina Panthers opened up the 2025-2026 Wild Card playoffs and the first game of wild card weekend did not disappoint. The Rams (-10.5 favorites) defeated the Panthers 34-31 with a game winning touchdown with less than a minute remaining to move onto […]
"I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."
The New Jersey Devils are making a shocking move by healthy scratching Dougie Hamilton for their Sunday game. With Simon Nemec back from injury and Johnathan Kovacevic ready to step into the lineup for his first game of the season, the veteran d-man, who's had a tough season and is on the trade block, is having more drastic action taken against him. Hamilton has a 10-team trade list, but reportedly blocked a trade to the San Jose Sharks at an earlier date. While that's his right as it's in his...
