I hope things are going well for everyone who enjoys visiting rinks to watch Canada West women's hockey. With everyone writing exams over the next few weeks, the conference is on break and will return on January 9 and 10 for more action after the holidays. In saying that, we can take a look at a few things that need some addressing and examination since we have a few moments. Let's settle into the Stats 101 material that I've prepared along with identifying 24 players who have stood out in the...
Even with the Toronto Maple Leafs ' renewed struggles, and a desperate search for top-six help, first-year Leaf Matias Maccelli still cannot find his way back into the lineup. He has been a healthy scratch for seven consecutive games after Saturday night, and has just not recaptured the playmaking form that made him a 57-point man two seasons ago. The 5'11" forward is just not a Craig Berube favorite, as Maccelli has posted just nine points in 22 games, with only three hits. With th...
For the first time since the 2017 Jacksonville AFC Championship Game appearance season (Myles Jack wasn’t down), the Jacksonville Jaguars have a 10-win season. An explosive 31-point first half effectively wrapped this holiday gift in a bow for the EverBank fanbase, tying for the second-most points in a first half in Jaguars’ history (most in […]
The Jaguars entered Week 15 with a 9-4 record and holding onto the top spot in the AFC South. The Texans and Colts are both on their heels at 8-5, and the Colts trotted out literal grandfather Philip Rivers in the hopes of saving their season. The 2-11 Titans, unsurprisingly, are bringing up the rear […]
After a chaotic, penalty-filled, and wildly entertaining 6-5 win back on October 23rd, the Edmonton Oilers get another crack at the Montreal Canadiens, this time with a little more confidence and a lot less panic in the air. That first meeting had everything: Blown leads, three-goal swings in a matter of minutes, angry Montreal fans,…
Sunday night hockey! Or maybe Sunday evening hockey? Either way, the Bruins are playing today, and the game won’t start until after the Patriots game ends, so you can get all your New England sports in at once. Minnesota fans are looking forward to this one, as Quinn Hughes is slated to make his Wild […]
We’re inching toward the close of another week of the 2025 NFL season, and it’s another chance for the Jets to inch closer to that first overall pick in 2026. It’s not the strongest draft class for quarterbacks, but that doesn’t change the fact that the Jets are going to need one. The closer they […]

In the New York Jets’ 14th game of the 2025 season, on a breezy and balmy day in Jacksonville, Florida, the Jets lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars, 48 – 20, for their 11th loss of the season. The first half saw the Jets get manhandled by the Jaguars offense. The Jaguars moved the ball at […]
While it's sad to see Marco Rossi, Zeev Buium, and Liam Ohgren go... the Wild got back Quinn Hughes. He might be the best defender in the world, and now he plays for the Minnesota Wild. Take a moment to process that.
And now take a few more moments to give the latest episode of Wilderness Talk...
When the Flyers announced that Cam York would miss another short stretch of time with an upper-body injury on December 4, it seemed like the most likely outcome was that the team would just reinsert Yegor Zamula to fill the momentary void, and call up someone from Lehigh Valley with past NHL experience to sit as the seventh defender,
But on December 6, the Flyers made the somewhat surprising decision to call up the 22-year old Ty Murchison instead. Murchison had played 21 games with the ...
It only took blue-chip prospect Zeev Buium 60 seconds to make his mark in his first game with the Vancouver Canucks . And it just kept getting better. The key piece in the return from the Minnesota Wild in the Quinn Hughes trade began his Canucks' career with a bang — two points on the power play in a 2-1 win over the New Jersey Devils (you know... the team that was supposed to get Quinn Hughes). Buium was immediately handed the quarterbacking duties on the first power play unit, and picked up...

On Friday morning, the Edmonton Oilers finally made their major goaltending move. It was a deal that sent their starting goalie in Stuart Skinner, alongside defenceman Brett Kulak and a 2029 second-round pick, to the Pittsburgh Penguins for goaltender Tristan Jarry. Fans and media alike have clamoured for the Oilers to make an upgrade in…

Bunny Shaw helped herself to four goals as Manchester City ended their 2025 WSL campaign in style by hitting six past Aston Villa. Jamaican striker Bunny Shaw was on fire, hitting four of the six with goals from Aoba Fujino and Viveanne Miedema sandwiched in between. The match also saw a return to action for […]

Start time: 7:00 PM EST / 4:00 PM PST In the Canadiens region: TSN2 (English), RDS (French) In the Oilers region: Sportsnet West Streaming: ESPN+, RDS, TSN+
The Edmonton Oilers have had one glaring weakness for several seasons, and that is goaltending. The team has made back-to-back Stanley Cup Finals despite the issues in net, ranking 11th of the 16 teams in the 2025 post-season with an overall save percentage of .871. The assumption ...
The first feeling I had when I heard Stuart Skinner was traded? Relief. I’ve said this before, but part of the reason I wanted a new Oilers starting goaltender (beyond his play) is that I was sick of talking about him and sick of the discussion surrounding him. The Skinner topic became exhausting. Every game…
The Philadelphia Flyers are back playing hockey once again. Less than 24 hours after hosting the Hurricanes, the Flyers are down visiting them in Carolina to start a four-game road trip. They battled hard the last time around but could they do that all over again against the top team in the Eastern Conference?
