Tigres got a 1-1 tie at home against Cruz Azul that gave them the ticket to the 2025 Apertura Liga MX final. Tigres took advantage of their better position in the standings and their tie in the first leg to be the better side over a Cruz Azul that lacked ideas on the offense after […]
Real Madrid host Celta Vigo in what should be a somewhat manageable home game ahead of Wednesday’s clash against Manchester City in the Champions League. Madrid are coming off an encouraging win against Athletic Bilbao and will be trying to keep that momentum going. Real Madrid predicted XI: Courtois, Valverde, Militao, Asencio, Carreras, Tchouameni, Camavinga, […]
Recap of the game.
For the second time in a week, Ilya Sorokin had the Tampa Bay Lightning’s number. After he stopped 27-of-28 shots in the Lightning’s 2-1 loss on December 3, he was even better on Saturday night, denying all 32 shots they threw at him in a 2-0 win. Calum Ritchie broke the scoreless tie in the third period and Casey Cizikas sealed the win with an empty-net goal. Jonas Johansson, making his second start in a row, stopped 17-of-18 shots. Johansson started in place of Andrei Vasilevskiy, who m...
The Chicago Blackhawks were thoroughly steamrolled Saturday night, surrendering six goals to the LA Kings and being shutout while offering all the resistance of a revolving door. Gross. Warren Foegele opened the scoring 1:55 into the second period, dropping to one knee and hammering home a one-timer set up by Trevor Moore. Tyler Bertuzzi coughed the puck up along the boards trying to kick it out of danger and too many other Blackhawks were puck watching, leaving Foegele wide open. Mo...
That’s two in a row. On Saturday evening, the Edmonton Oilers played their third game on the five-game homestand, defeating the Winnipeg Jets 6-2. This came just two days after they smashed the Seattle Kraken 9-4. Safe to say they are officially back, so let’s take a look at what happened in this one! The…
To paraphrase a nugget of hockey wisdom: “They don’t ask how, they ask how many.” Hours after the first-place Colorado Avalanche gutted out an unflattering overtime win over the New York Rangers in the NHL, St. John’s survived its own sloppy matchup at Madison Square Garden and inched past Ole Miss in a 63-58 rock […]
The Maple Leafs’ modest three-game winning streak is over, but they managed to pick up a point from a game in which they probably deserved none. For all the rightful consternation about the loss of Joseph Woll and the impact of his injury absence, Dennis Hildeby was the Leafs’ best player (until the shootout). Unfortunately, […] The post Game Review: Maple Leafs grab loser point, Dennis Hildeby their best player in underwhelming performance vs. Montreal appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
Craig Berube addressed the media after his team’s 2-1 shootout loss to the Montreal Canadiens, which dropped the Maple Leafs’ record to 13-11-4. On the team’s performance: Good first period. I thought we came out with the right mindset and did some good things. In the second period, we turned pucks over. That is basically […] The post Craig Berube on the Leafs dropping a point to the Habs: “We missed the net about 15 times, including on good opportunities… And power play has to come through ...

The fun and exciting start to the Miami Heat’s season has come to a crashing halt, as they lose their season-worst third consecutive game to the Sacramento Kings, 127-111. It’s also the Heat’s fourth loss out of the last five games. They drop to a 14-10 record overall, 10-3 at home and back into the […] The post Heat lose third straight and get blown out at home by Kings 127-111 appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
It's been talked about ad infinitum (i.e. endlessly ) ever since Vancouver Canucks president of hockey operations Jim Rutherford casually dropped word after last season that his superstar defenseman Quinn Hughes would like to join forces with his NHL brothers Jack & Luke someday. Now, it seems that 'someday' is one step closer. Insider Elliotte Friedman revealed on Hockey Night in Canada , that, for the first time, he can officially say that the New Jersey Devils (hockey home of Jack & L...
This one really hurts. Coming off four consecutive regulation losses, the New Jersey Devils travelled up to Boston to take on a Bruins team that they absolutely needed to beat. It’s true that Boston is off to a better start than most anticipated through the first two months of the season, but this is still […]
Through 45 minutes of game time, the Carolina Hurricanes played nearly perfect hockey. This is not to say that every play on the ice was perfect, but the unit played with cohesion and supported each other well. Despite a last 15 minutes that saw the Canes take their feet off the gas and allow three […]
The Wolf Pack couldn't withstand an early onslaught, ending their win streak at three games.

At the very least, MSU needed a split this weekend against the number 1 ranked weasels. Thankfully, a gritty road performance on Saturday secured that split. In a weekend that was just really well played hockey, MSU faced something they hadn’t faced before and found a way to make the adjustments in game two. Let’s […]
Sometimes you sens 'em, and sometimes you get sens'd
This one was a bit of a snoozer to start — not much action, save for Ilya Sorokin standing tall and the Islanders hitting the post a few times. We went into the third period tied at zero, a rarity for this sometimes defensively-challenged team, but a four minute power play helped the Isles break […]
The PA announcer tries to get a “Go Leafs Go!” chant going before the opening faceoff. It doesn’t work. First period The crowd isn’t in it, but the Leafs are, spending the opening few shifts in Montreal’s zone. An icing call if the first reprieve for Montreal over three minutes in. Montreal finally gets a shot on net, but then Noah Dobson gets caught trying to hold the puck in at the blue line, and Juraj Slafkovský has to hook Auston Matthews on the counter-attack to de...
