Part of what’s made the first moth of this NHL season so much fun has been the youth movement, with young stars like Macklin Celebrini, Connor Bedard and Leo Carlsson all putting up gaudy offensive numbers that place them near the top of the scoring race. It’s only been a month, so we don’t want to get too far out over our skis here. But it sure seems like we’re witnessing a shift in the league, with a new generation of forwards staking their claim to superstar status . That doesn’t mean...
The Indianapolis Colts are on the bye in Week 11, and while they entered it in first place in the AFC, they have already lost their position after one game.

Thursday night’s game against the Columbus Blue Jackets marked the 19th time this season that the Edmonton Oilers laced up their skates without Zach Hyman.

Larry Brooks wasn’t just a reporter—he was the reporter. The Rangers beat, and sports journalism itself, won’t be the same without him.
The Jets lost to the Patriots on Thursday Night Football 27-14. I think we all need to acknowledge is the quality difference in these teams and the difference in where these teams are in their respective cycles. You might say those are excuses. I’d say calling the Patriots a better team is hardly excuse-making. It’s […]

Shayna Goldman at The Athletic did a deep dive on the impact we’ve seen from the nine new head coaches around the NHL thru the first month of the season, a list that obviously includes Jeff Blashill with the Blackhawks. Here’s part of what she wrote about Blashill’s impact: The process is far from perfect in Chicago through the first month of play. The team is still allowing a high rate of shots and chances, even with the shift from zone defense to a hybrid system. The difference now, c...

Ahead of this year’s training camp, New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel explained that he was looking at his team’s performances in three distinct categories. There is the good, the bad, and, as he called it, the s—t that gets you beat. On Thursday night against the New York Jets, there were shades of […]

Hello CSR! Welcome to Brian Answers, part two of your weekly Panthers fan mailbag for everyone! As I expected, most of the questions that came in this week were heavily centered around the future of Bryce Young, and by association the future of the coaching staff. We mixed in some Christmas fun along the way […]
The St. Louis Blues are not a good team this season and it is going to take quite a bit to turn things around so that the GM doesn't start to have to make significant changes. The Blues are stuck in the middle while having too many tradeable veterans in places where the youth can step in and step up to take over once they're gone. It makes sense for a retool because this isn't a team likely to rebuild at this stage. The Blues are in talks with teams, as it would be odd if GMs don't call and se...
The Florida Panthers matched a season-high in goals during an impressive 6-3 romp over the Washington Capitals at Amerant Bank Arena in a night chalk full of milestones.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are not in a great spot behind the pack in the Eastern Conference and a lot of things just aren't quite right this season. Between injuries, the defensive system, and players needing to play better or step up, there is a lot that needs to change. The Maple Leafs are expected to be in the playoffs every season and there are a ton of eyes on them before even factoring in that it is the first season without Mitch Marner after tons of criticism. Trades have surrounded the t...
The New England Patriots won their eight straight game on Thursday night, defeating the visiting New York Jets 27-14 at Gillette Stadium. They thus became the first team in the NFL to win nine games this year, are now the top seed in the AFC, and secured their first winning season since 2021. With all […]
The Columbus Blue Jackets are two wins over .500, but in a very crammed race for the playoffs in the East right now. Things will start to separate further into the season, but it is no lock that the team that hasn't made the playoffs in the past five years takes the step in. If the Blue Jackets are in a position to sell, they will have suitors for multiple players, including Boone Jenner. He is in the final year of his four-year deal at $3.75 million AAV, which is very attractive for team...
The Nashville Predators are sinking early in the season, and the pressure on head coach Andrew Brunette has never been higher. After last year’s 30th-place finish, general manager Barry Trotz insisted on giving Brunette another chance, calling him a “good, young coach” who deserved patience. But at 5-9-4 with a 1-6-2 slide, trade rumors swirling around stars like Steven Stamkos , and visible frustration from players such as Ryan O’Reilly , the Predators look lost again. That has in...
