Big Bird made the fewest appearances and played the fewest minutes since he ascended to the First Team in 2019. We can only guess how many goals involvements – and wins – he would have contributed to this New York City FC squad in 2025.
But no Connor this time.
*The boys are back at it tonight in Montreal looking to get off the schnide. Finishing a game in 60 minutes, that’d be a nice change too. Anyhoo, yesterday we learned the Flyers will be having a special “Fourth Wing” game in March. Does this mean anything to you? If so, do you like this? [ Flyers ]

It’s hard to call a play that happens roughly five minutes into the game a turning point, but when the Florida Panthers scored their second goal of the game mere seconds after Yanni Gourde glanced a shot at an open net off of the crossbar, the feeling that it was going to be one of those nights was there. The two early goals, and some key goaltending by Sergei Bobrovsky, forced the Lightning to chase a deficit they could never overcome as they dropped the game 5-2 to the Florida Panthers.

On a night built for emotion with Kreider and Trouba's return to MSG, the Rangers’ special teams spiral stole the spotlight and sank them against Anaheim.
The San Jose Sharks will be without two key forwards for at least the next few weeks. The team placed Will Smith and Philipp Kurashev on injured reserve earlier this week because of injuries they suffered during Saturday’s game in Pittsburgh.
Kurashev went hard into the boards in the second period. While it was a Penguins’ influenced play, it wasn’t necessarily dirty.
Kurashev goes hard into the boards. Currently on the bench getting treatment. No penalty on the play. #LetsGoPens 2, ...
Good evening, Fear the Wall. Apologies for the timing on today’s Bee, I was rather busy yesterday evening and didn’t have a chance to get my writing done. Shame on me.

NHL insider David Pagnotta believes the Edmonton Oilers got to the point where they were willing to “suck it up” and include Stuart Skinner and Brett Kulak in the move to acquire Tristan Jarry, despite wanting to keep both of them. Pagnotta joined Oilersnation Everyday with Tyler Yaremchuk and Liam Horrobin on Monday to discuss…
The Minnesota Wild are all-in this season. After acquiring former Norris trophy winner Quinn Hughes, it sounds like GM Bill Guerin isn't finished. The Wild are a Stanley Cup contender this season and now with Hughes in the mix, they could turn their blueline depth into some help for their middle-six. The Wild are off to a hot start this season, entering the week with a 19-9-5 record, sitting third in the Central Division. Daily Faceoff's Tyler Yaremchuk spoke about the Wild on a recent episode...
Expectations were low for the New York Jets heading into the 2025 NFL season. Few thought the team would end its then-fourteen year postseason drought. Fewer saw the Jets ending their then nine year streak of consecutive losing seasons. Even despite the low expectations, this season has been quite a bit more difficult than many […]
The NHL's trade market is as hot as ever, and it sounds like there could be some more moves coming before the holiday roster freeze. Two teams that could be doing business together in the next week, the Montreal Canadiens and Anaheim Ducks. According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, Ducks center Ryan Strome is a prime trade candidate. Strome has battled his way back from injury this season and is struggling. Through 14 games, Strome has scored just once, and added four assists, for five point...

It’s that time of year again, and with that we here at BSH have decided to take the 12 Days of Christmas and change it around a bit. Here then, is what we hope a dozen of the Flyers (or their coaching staff) receive this holiday season before they head out West and begin the gauntlet to and after the Winter Olympics.
