The Boston Celtics returned home to TD Garden to face the second-placed New York Knickerbockers on Tuesday night. Both teams took turn throwing haymakers throughout the game, but it was the Celtics led by Jaylen Brown and Hugo Gonzalez who rallied the home team, as Boston won their 12th game of the year, 123-117. Derrick […]
While I am coming to terms with the debacle of an outing the Winnipeg Jets had last night in Buffalo…and in an attempt to distract me from thinking about how Wednesday’s game against the Montreal Canadiens will go…I figured I would dive into the True Northers issues with secondary scoring this season. For this review, I opted to stick with Winnipeg’s forward position. The reason for this becomes obvious when you consider that the top unit of Mark Scheifele , Kyle Connor , & Gabriel Vilard...
The Islanders got the much-needed go-ahead goals and timely saves that had eluded them on this homestand and were rewarded with a 2-1 victory that ended the Tampa Bay Lightning’s seven-game win streak. The the Lightning were without Victor Hedman — which has hardly slowed them the past 10 games — the Islanders’ post-Palmieri and […]
The Rangers pulled off a comeback and got a meaningful extra point as Vladislav Gavrikov became the unlikely hero in overtime.
It was the most obvious shutout in NHL history. You could see it coming a mile away. Four years after the Edmonton Oilers passed on drafting him in the first round, Jesper Wallstedt made them pay, stopping all 33 shots he faced in the Minnesota Wild’s 1-0 win Tuesday night. Wallstedt was nothing short of…

First period After an energetic start, it’s the Senators that make the biggest error by taking a penalty, allowing the Canadiens’ special teams to go to work. Linus Ullmark is caught with a shot to the neck from Zachary Bolduc and dazed in his crease. He makes once more stop, but is unable to stop Juraj Slafkovský on the follow-up as Cole Caufield finds him across the crease. Excellent pass from Cole Caufield to Juraj Slafkovsky, and it's 1-0 #Habs pic.twitter.com/eg0nxsnFzM...

Full marks to anyone who can identify the goaltender in question to the left. He played his last professional game in the ECHL during the 2023-24 season, but it appears he's trying to gain employment in that league again. If you're wondering, he's a former NHL netminder who played for three teams, but has just 40 games to his name despite those three stops. The 32 year-old was drafted 190th-overall in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, he won an AHL Calder Cup championship in 2017-18, and he's one of 2...
On Tuesday night, the College Football Playoff (CFP) committee released the fifth installment of its rankings for the 2025 season.

Brad Marchand loves to play the Toronto Maple Leafs, and apparently, he loves to defend them as well. Ahead of the Maple Leafs and Florida Panthers matchup on Tuesday night, Marchand spoke with the media, and essentially bashed all the 'haters' who feel the Maple Leafs are not a playoff team. Marchand made it very clear, he still feels they are, and everyone shouldn't be writing them off in December. "What are we, 25 games in? If you think that your playoff dreams are done 25 games in, you've ...

Penn State and Pat Kraft has swung and missed — badly — as BYU’s Kalani Sitake has reportedly turned down Penn State and is staying at BYU. Lucrative contract, increased infrastructure, blah, blah, blah — WHATEVER, this is a terrible look for Pat Kraft. To get to this point in the search, to identify Sitake, […]
Fun fact: Detroit gets its name from the French word détroit, which means strait, which is a narrow body of water connecting two other bodies of water. That’s not to be confused with Streit, which is the last name of Mark Streit, a Swiss guy who used to play for the Canadiens, who play in […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers have claimed wide receiver Adam Thielen off waivers, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Thielen requested his release from the Minnesota Vikings after being traded back to Minnesota from the Carolina Panthers ahead of the season.

While the goals and assists haven’t yet come as many would have hoped when Liverpool signed Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen in a blockbuster £100M+ deal over the summer, the 22-year-old German attacker has regularly stood out as a creative spark when given the chance.
