Brooklyn Nets drop fourth straight, lose to Mavericks 113-105

We’ve often described the Dallas Mavericks as “lost” this season, even with more wins to their name than our boys from the corner of Atlantic and Flatbush. Whether that’s due to front office turnover, the mindless trade that warranted it, or the classic excuse, injuries, there’s no arguing these silver stallions have galloped off-course in […]

Blackhawks 1, Oilers 4 — Three Stars, Key Takeaways

Right when we were all excited for a Connor vs Connor matchup and seeing the Blackhawks at full strength with Bedard back in the lineup… it was Bedard who got sick and was not in the lineup. Spencer Knight was really good, and the skaters in front of him were also very active with their sticks. Unfortunately, it was a shot that hit a body that got Edmonton on the board first almost 15 minutes into the contest. Zach Hyman was credited with the goal. Evan Bouchard banked a shot into the net...

Canadiens vs. Canucks Top Six Minutes: Montreal takes command in the third for a win

First period Oliver Kapanen gets the first scoring chance of the game by speeding down the wing for an open shot, but goaltender Nikita Tolopilo makes the stop. Zachary Bolduc was going to get another one, but didn’t protect the puck well enough to get it past the defenceman. Just 5% more effort from Montreal here probably gets them a goal, and the floodgates could open from there. The crowd gives Arber Xhekaj a nice hand for collecting the puck in his own zone and flying...
