By going 8-0-2 in their last 10 games, the Toronto Maple Leafs have finally moved back into a playoff spot. This is a playoff team which had a rough start and needed some health. While the health hasn't exactly come back, a lot of players are contributing to the success. As it has been since the summer, the Maple Leafs need additions, even more so now that there is some open cap space and certain players that have shown they are disposable. Toronto hasn't been silent though. There have been at...
With the NHL trade deadline looming in the coming weeks, could the Flyers look to move on from 24-year-old forward Bobby Brink?
Brink has had a solid season so far, tallying 11 goals and nine assists over 41 games, but could the Flyers look to move on from the young forward? As we all know, the Flyers have a logjam at wing. It has long been a position of strength for the Flyers. It has continued to grow in strength with the additions of center/winger hybrid Trevor Zegras – who is currentl...

The Jets have signed quarterback Bailey Zappe to a reserve/future contract per Tom Pelissero. The 26 year old Zappe was a fourth round pick by the Patriots in 2022.

The Philadelphia 76ers were able to get back in the win column on Monday evening, taking down the Toronto Raptors 115-102 just 24 hours after dropping an overtime game to the same opponent.

Last week, I outlined the different factors that will impact the Edmonton Oilers as we creep closer and closer to the NHL’s trade deadline. Edmonton’s cap space is limited, and they don’t have a lot of premium assets to spend. Because of that, it seems unlikely that they’ll be able to make more than one…
After the Hoosiers’ first possession of the second half the Ducks were facing a 42-7 deficit with only 8:52 left in the 3rd quarter. Realistically, even with perfect drive outcomes (touchdowns scored and no points allowed) from that point on Oregon didn’t have time to come back and tie the game before time expired. However, […]

The Penguins made some roster moves ahead of their game tonight against Tampa. Veteran defenseman Erik Karlsson, who has played in all 208 possible games since being acquired, will now be out at least a week by virtue of being placed on the IR. There was no practice yesterday, Karlsson appeared to get through the […]
The New York Rangers are having another bad season and the team has the worst points percentage in the Eastern Conference. They are also the only team under .500 in the East and have lost eight of their last 10 games. It makes too much sense for the Rangers to sell and they have the means to change things up and bring in helpful pieces. The big trade candidate is Artemi Panarin, who had reportedly rejected a big contract extension and isn't going to take a team-friendly deal to stick around. T...
By the time the final whistle blew on Monday night’s Third Round FA Cup tie, Liverpool had secured a quite comfortable looking 4-1 victory over League One’s Barnsley.

The Miami Heat’s 14-7 start to the 2025-26 season feels like a distant memory. They are back fighting to avoid their fourth-straight play-in at 20-19. And it’s become clearer they need an(other) injection of life. Should that be Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant? He’s one of the most polarizing players in the league. But he […]

Looking to close their four-game home stand with a bang, the Montreal Canadiens lined up for Amazon Prime’s Monday night hockey against the Vancouver Canucks.
