The New Jersey Devils, from all accounts around the National Hockey League, had Dawson Mercer in a package that they were hoping would entice the Vancouver Canucks to send Quinn Hughes to Jersey. As we all know by now, that offer failed. But according to insider David Pagnotta , the Devils have not, and will not, stop dangling Mercer in trade talks—especially if it lands them one thing in particular. The Devils are desperately in need of goal scorers. They currently sit 27th in the NHL i...

The Miami Dolphins shocked the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, defeating the NFC South contenders 20-17 in a game that was a bit more lopsided than the final score suggests. Many players stepped up in Miami’s week 17 win, but the player who many would argue had the most significant impact was Dolphins’ pass-rusher, Bradley […]

The Butterfly Effect Continues. While not cited as the reason, the 4-3 shootout loss to Florida on December 19th claimed another victim in the Olympic hopes of Seth Jarvis. You’ll recall that after giving up a 3-0 lead to the Panthers, the Carolina winger was heading down on a breakaway in the 3-on-3 overtime set […]
I can’t remember the last time I saw so much news about a trade that hasn’t happened yet.

Welcome to the last Public Skate of 2025, folks! You’ve skated publicly 80-something times (or close, I estimated) this year, and we always appreciate your participation. Hopefully tonight’s game won’t inspire another round of searching the comments for ways to describe how bad the game was, but beggars can’t be choosers. Tonight looks like a […]

The Brooklyn Nets’ final practice of 2025, even as it followed a loss to the Golden State Warriors, was quite chipper. Drake Powell and Nolan Traore got up extra shots together, working on their skills but also taking the time to laugh with each other and their coaches. Danny Wolf could hardly concentrate on free-throws […]
The Syracuse Orange (9-5, 0-1) put up another offensive dud as they opened ACC play with a loss to the Clemson Tigers (11-3, 1-0) at the JMA Dome. Donnie Freeman returned to action and even though he came off the bench he led the way with 18 points and 9 rebounds. The starting 5 was […]
2025 has come to an end and the Premier League season is at the halfway mark with four matches to be played tomorrow.
