Eagles thoughts: The Panthers got paws

The Carolina Panthers are 2-2, but look to be on their way to their first winning season since 2017. Carolina’s Got Hands (Paws?) Last year the Carolina Panthers offense didn’t run many plays (22nd most) and when they did, they were pretty bad at it (27th in yards per play). This year? This year the […]

Gavin McKenna responds to mid-game benching: ‘I’m willing to play whatever role this team wants’

Toronto Maple Leafs rookie Gavin McKenna is certainly looking to turn the page, following his mid-game benching during Thursday’s loss to the Buffalo Sabres. McKenna was inexplicably benched by head coach Jim Hiller, and did not take a shift following the 10:20 mark of the second period. Toronto surrendered a 4-2 lead as McKenna watched…

Canucks: D Elias Pettersson’s impressive start is more than just passing the eye test

Amid the Vancouver Canucks‘ six-game losing streak, there haven’t been many individual positives to come from it. Of course, Finnish netminder Leevi Meriläinen has kept the Canucks in games; the top line of Jake DeBrusk, Elias Pettersson, and Jonathan Lekkerimäki has carried the team’s offence, but the biggest story may be the emergence of defenceman…

Maple Leafs’ John Tavares out week-to-week with lower-body injury

The Toronto Maple Leafs will be without John Tavares for the foreseeable future. Tavares left Thursday’s game against the Buffalo Sabres after an awkward collision in the third period, and the team announced on Saturday that the veteran forward is considered week-to-week with a lower-body injury. With the week-to-week designation, it sounds like Tavares is…

Report: Flyers In Tough Spot To Trade Travis Konecny

The 2026-27 Philadelphia Flyers have been historically bad under head coach Rick Tocchet. With a 0-6-3 start to the year, they look bad.  Tocchet's inability to start the year with a winning record hasn't helped him this week, as he's had multiple gaffes and has arguably mistreated future NHL superstar Matvei Michkov. In addition to his slow start, needless to say, fans are unhappy, and the team has scheduled time with Tocchet and the fans to smooth over the angst that has been apparent.&...

Todd McLellan backs Michael Rasmussen despite his struggling start to the season with Red Wings

Todd McLellan still believes Michael Rasmussen can regain his best form to help the Detroit Red Wings. The Detroit Red Wings may not have started the season the way they had hoped in the Atlantic Division, and one possible reason is the lack of production from certain players. Michael Rasmussen is one of the players who has yet to find his scoring touch, although Todd McLellan believes he has other strengths that can help his teammates. “ We’re not going to sit here and judge (Rasmussen...
