It was a successful week for the Giallorossi, as Roma achieved matching 2-0 wins over Rangers and Udinese. The latter victory, along with some favorable results across the league, means that the Giallorossi enter the international break tied for the top spot with Inter. However, despite their strong play, Gian Piero Gasperini is dealing with […]
Earlier this afternoon, Philadelphia Flyers activated winger Tyson Foerster from the Injured Reserve while placing winger Carl Grundstrom back down to the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. Transaction: We've activated forward @tfoerster8 off injured reserve. In a corresponding roster move, we have loaned forward Carl Grundstrom to the @LVPhantoms (AHL). pic.twitter.com/PJ5nTIFIOx — Philadelphia Flyers (@NHLFlyers) November 12, 2025 Although earlier in the day during a post-practice press...
On Sunday afternoon, New Orleans Saints defeated the Carolina Panthers 17-7 to improve to 2-8 on the season. The score was a bit deceiving as this was the Saints most complete game of the season, giving fans a glimpse of hope toward the future as rookie QB Tyler Shough led the team to victory on […]
It’s been another wild week around here with the Oilers rollercoaster making another loop, and I’ve got a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never ready to recap it all. On today’s podcast, I talked about spending a couple of days in Toronto and Montreal, the Oilers’ comeback against Columbus, Trent Frederic’s fight, and much…
The New England Patriots will be down four on Thursday night. Running back Rhamondre Stevenson, wide receiver Kayshon Boutte, tight end Austin Hooper and linebacker Christian Elliss have been ruled out for the AFC East meeting with the New York Jets. Here’s the rest of the game statuses heading into the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff […]
New York inks Spencer Martin to reinforce its goalie pipeline, giving Hartford another experienced presence between the pipes.
The Philadelphia Flyers are hosting Connor McDavid and his band of Edmonton Oilers tonight. The visitors are experiencing a miserable start to their season, like every single year, but it feels different. McDavid and Draisaitl are carrying a bag full of bodies to some wins, but their recent thrashing in a 9-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche has still left a mark. Can the Flyers take advantage of a weakened Oilers team missing a couple key forwards? Or, will Edmonton keep trying to prove do...
The dance of mediocrity is often one step forward, one step back, or two steps forward, two steps back. It’s not where you want to be, and this season the Oilers reside in mediocrity. They have enough skill and talent to rise above the mushy middle, but through 17 games, they’ve struggled with consistency. Their…
Donnie Ecker, who was part of the Texas Rangers’ coaching staff from 2022 until about six weeks into the 2025 season, is reportedly being brought on board by new Baltimore Orioles manager Carlos Albernaz to be the new bench coach for the A’s. Ecker was hired away from the San Francisco Giants, where he had […]
The Carolina Panthers released their first injury report of the week, as is custom on Wednesdays. In a refreshing turn of events, it’s a relatively short list. So while the loss to the Saints was tremendously damaging to the ego and vibes of the Panthers, it didn’t hurt them too badly physically. Trevin Wallace left […]
The Aaron Glenn era in New York has reached peak dysfunction, and it’s not even Thanksgiving. During a press conference on Tuesday, Glenn declined to provide injury updates on Jets players — something he had done to open every press conference this season. Instead, Glenn told reporters to ask fellow reporter, ESPN’s Rich Cimini, for the injury updates. “I’m going to pass on talking about injuries since Rich has all the answers,” Glenn said on Tuesday. “You guys can get all the injuri...
The Vancouver Canucks got worrying news on their oft-injured starter as reports indicate a Thatcher Demko injury will keep him out for roughly two to three weeks. The setback arrived in his first game back after a brief maintenance break, when he exited following the first period against the Winnipeg Jets . Early indications say it is a lower-body issue unrelated to last season’s knee problem or last week’s rest. That is better than worst-case scenarios, but it still puts Vancouver...
The entire fandom of the True North franchise was likely elated when word came out that defenseman Dylan Samberg shed the non-contact jersey in practice, signaling to one & all that Winnipeg’s best defensive player will be back in the line up for the next game. Last year the American was in the top 10 of many defensive categories, so with Sammy slipping into the 2nd pairing along side Neal Pionk …..there has to be hope that some of the Jets’ miscues will be remedied with the big guy patrolling...
The Blackhawks return to the United Center ice for the first time in two weeks coming off a successful road trip. Connor Bedard is one of the hottest skaters in the entire NHL at the moment, and the Blackhawks have been showing steady improvement in a number of areas. Waiting for them will be the New Jersey Devils, who enter Wednesday’s action with the best record in the Eastern Conference. Nothing comes easy in the NHL, and this should be a fun, tough test against a really good Devils sq...
Though he never played a game for the Colorado Avalanche, the story of former organizational prospect Mason Geertsen is worth spotlighting, especially as a drafted prospect still in the NHL at age 30. As a player currently on the Buffalo Sabres roster, Geertsen may finally play in a NHL game on Ball Arena ice in […]
Winning early-season games at home was the way Oregon Women’s Basketball started last season, and it ended up leading to an NCAA Tournament berth. Hopefully, the pattern continues this year. On Tuesday Oregon overpowered Grand Canyon University 84-66 to push their home and overall record to 3-0. Up by 19 at the end of the […]
The iconic voice was back in the broadcast booth.
The Flyers got the best showing of the season from their fourth line on Saturday, all without scoring a single goal. So, what's working for them, and can they be the long-term answer?
“Unfortunately, not ready for tonight.” “Definitely sometime this week.” “Maybe tomorrow, if we’re really lucky.” “Definitely by Saturday.” If you were looking for an answer as to when Edmonton Oilers forward Zach Hyman will return to the lineup, that’s the best Kris Knoblauch has to offer, as his ambiguity around injury news continues. It’s not…
The Blackhawks return home from a largely successful road trip to find one of the league’s early front-runners waiting for them, as the New Jersey Devils will be Chicago’s opponent for a national broadcast from the United Center on Wednesday night. The NHL standings contain a hilarious slog of teams in the middle, with 24 teams occupying spots 5-28 in the league standings that have season totals between 17 and 22 points right now — the Blackhawks among them at 19. New Jersey is just above...
André Burakovsky was not at the Blackhawks’ morning skate on Wednesday. Head coach Jeff Blashill indicated he’s a game-time decision. With that in mind — and both Jason Dickinson (who did skate Wednesday morning but isn’t ready to return yet) and Frank Nazar out of the lineup, the Blackhawks need another forward body to fill a lineup. Blashill said after the morning skate that Landon Slaggert will be recalled and go if Burakovsky cannot. Blashill also said Slaggert’s time in Roc...
The reinforcements have arrived. With the Tampa Bay Lightning ailing a bit, the team recalled a couple of veterans from the Syracuse Crunch. Forwards Boris Katchouk and Scott Sabourin caught the plane ride down from the bitter cold to the chilly, but much nicer Tampa weather to help bolster a squad that is a little down right now. With Dominic James definitely missing tonight’s action, and Pontus Holmberg probably out as well, the Bolts needed to add some depth to their bottom-six. Ryan M...
Hark! News from the Bay of Quinte!
The Philadelphia Flyers return to action on Wednesday night with a matchup against the Edmonton Oilers. The Oilers suffered a 9-1 home loss to the Avalanche on Saturday night and had to come from behind to beat the Blue Jackets on Monday night. To put it simply, the team that has lost in the Stanley Cup Final in the last two years is struggling mightily right now. They’re without Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, leaving Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl to carry even more of the load than they usuall...
Edmonton Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch gave the fans screaming for accountability on Evan Bouchard an early Christmas gift on Monday night. With just over eight minutes left in the first period, Knoblauch had seen enough of his $10.5 million defenceman and parked him on the bench until the second frame. Bouchard took an unnecessary…
