The World Series ended, it was really exciting, boo the Dodgers , blah blah blah. THE OFFSEASON IS OFFICIALLY HERE! That’s what we’re really on about today, eh? Now it’s time for clubs to start their march toward the 2026 season, reconstructing or supplementing their rosters, and working on their organizations.
For the Chicago Cubs, coming off of a well-earned 92-win season, the needs on the big league roster are relatively specific. There will be bench and bullpen work as always, but thi...
The Blackhawks lost in overtime last night, but it was a much better, closer game than the previous tilt in Winnipeg. The Blackhawks held the Oilers to two goals in regulation — both coming on the power play. According to Natural Stat Trick , the Blackhawks had a 52-49 shot attempt advantage at 5-on-5 in regulation. The Hawks had a 9-5 advantage in high danger chances in regulation as well.
Connor Bedard, André Burakovsky and Ryan Greene were outstanding last night. They combined for 10 s...
The New York Knicks (2–3) return to MSG tonight for a rematch with the Chicago Bulls (5–0), eager to avenge Friday’s 135–125 loss in Chicago. The stakes are high. To lose four straight, including back-to-backs against a team that New York vastly outclasses on paper would add extra insult to the humiliation. Friday’s loss exposed […]
The time change is helping this morning, because I was up way too late watching that game …
There’s just no way around it: that was one of the most incredible Game Sevens in a very long time. Yes, 2016 tops it in my completely biased opinion, but this is right up there just behind it. Some tremendous individual performances. Huge game swings. Close calls. Eye-popping defense in big spots. A game-tying 9th inning home run. Extra innings. And then a game-winner in the 11th:
WILL SM...
1946 Beloved White Sox broadcaster and member of the 1983 White Sox division champs Tom Paciorek was born in Detroit. Paciorek was a two-sport star at the University of Houston, drafted in the ninth round by the Miami Dolphins and the fifth by the Los Angeles Dodgers. Offering $18,000 more as a bonus to sign […]
We cover the coverage like PCA covers center field. Something happened on this day in 2016. It hadn’t happened in a while. You probably know what I’m talking about. The 2026 team has a ways to go, but that’s the objective, or should be, when the real games begin today. *means autoplay on, (directions to remove […]

The Blackhawks played well enough to force overtime but not well enough to skate away with both points as the host Edmonton Oilers picked up a 3-2 win over Chicago on Saturday night.
The first period ended scoreless, but only by a fraction of a second because of this Leon Draisaitl shot during an Edmonton power play that crossed the goal line moments after the clock hit zero:
Time expired a fraction of a second before Leon Draisaitl's shot crossed the goal line. Scoreless after the f...
Edmonton Oilers fans who cheer for the Toronto Blue Jays got at least some good news Saturday night, as Evan Bouchard’s overtime goal would secure them a win over the Chicago Blackhawks. While the Blue Jays would lose Game 7 of the World Series to the L.A. Dodgers in the 11th inning, the Oilers’ extra…
The Blackhawks actually did a really nice job of holding their own for 19 minutes and 59.9 seconds in the first period. With Wyatt Kaiser was in the box, Leon Draisaitl rifled a shot that got thru Spencer Knight for what would have been a power play goal to give the Oilers a 1-0 lead … if the shot went in before the clock hit all zeroes. It did not. And doughnuts remained on the board into the intermission.
Draisaitl did score late in the power play that carried over to start the second p...
Hello, Chicago Bears Fans! Our WCG writers are coming strong this week as the Bears look to get back on track after a disappointing loss against the Baltimore Ravens last week. This week is again a tale of injury reports, as the Bengals are likely to be without their best defensive player, Trey Hendrickson, and […]
Head down to the comments to discuss Saturday’s game against the Oilers!
Game Preview
We’re approaching the midpoint of the NFL season, and the Chicago Bears have a winning record (4-3), just ike they did a year ago. We all know how last season turned out, but this Bears team has a chance to bounce back from last week’s stinker in Baltimore against the (3-5) Cincinnati Bengals. Chicago should […]
Now that Logan Cooley got his massive extension from the Utah Mammoth, it begs the question as to what that means for Connor Bedard and the Chicago Blackhawks . Cooley, 21, in his third NHL season, landed an eight-year, $10M AAV long-term deal after two terrific years to begin his career. Bedard, the No. 1 overall pick the year after Cooley's draft, is also in his third campaign, and had similar numbers over his first two years. Insider Pierre LeBrun brings us up to date on the Bed...
Tonight, the Oilers are back at Rogers Place for a matchup with a Chicago Blackhawks team that looks a whole lot different than the version we saw last season. Edmonton won both meetings in 2024–25 — one in overtime and one by a 3–0 shutout — but picking up a series sweep against this Blackhawks…
Bedard and McDavid. Nazar and Draisaitl. Oilers vs. Blackhawks. The back-to-back Western Conference champions are struggling to start the new season, while the Blackhawks have mostly exceeded expectations. But the Blackhawks are coming off their first really ugly performance of the season.
After the morning skate, Blackhawks head coach Jeff Blashill said he expects Ilya Mikheyev to play, which is big. Jason Dickinson was still missing from action, however. Get the coffee/other beverages r...
The Cincinnati Bengals (3-5) will attempt to defy oddsmakers when they square off against the Chicago Bears (4-3) on Sunday, November 2, 2025 as 3-point underdogs. The point total is set at 51.5.

Chicago’s sojourn through Canada continues this weekend as the Blackhawks face off against Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night.
It’s a similar Cup-or-bust season for the Oilers, who lost in six games to the Florida Panthers in last summer’s after losing in seven games to the same Panthers in 2024. With Sasha Barkov out for the season in Sunrise, though, the possibility of Edmonton finally summiting the top of the hockey world seems more real than ever. And it’s largel...
Stuart Skinner stood in front of reporters as the Chicago Blackhawks rolled into Rogers Place and declared that the Edmonton Oilers are fine. He’s happy with how his game has been growing this season. Everything’s trending in the right direction. No need to worry. The question is whether anyone should actually believe him. Skinner has…
The NFL season is an evolving state of affairs, and week 9 finds your 4-3 Chicago Bears right back in the crosshairs of a .500 season with the dream of playoff football seemingly slipping through their grasp. Or, right back at the front of the pack in terms of playoff odds. In this weekly series, […]
Our latest Reacts survey took on another daunting question related to last week’s: With many holes to fill looking ahead to the 2026 White Sox roster, where should the front office concentrate its efforts to improve? The answers were a bit surprising. If you believe that the more robust offense of the second half quells […]
On this Daylight Savings Time weekend, the Chicago Blackhawks have been rolling back the clocks 18 years with their better-than-anticipated start. Back in 2007-08, those young Hawks were not the dynasty team they’d become yet. But this year’s team and that team won five of their first 11 games, as the 07-08 Hawks took big…
The last time the Chicago Bulls were 5-0, Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen were headed full steam ahead toward their fifth NBA championship. Ridiculous.
On the one hand, I have no clue what is going on. The Chicago Bulls were viewed by almost everyone as one of the NBA’s retooling bottom feeders. They were projected to finish with a win total in the low 30s and possibly miss the Play-In Tournament altogether. In that sense, a 5-0 start is absolutely mind-boggling, especially when we co...
Current Chicago Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson played football at the University of North Carolina as a walk-on quarterback under offensive coordinator John Shoop, who also happened to be the Bears’ play-caller in 2001.
Shoop, serving as offensive coordinator under then-head coach Dick Jauron when Chicago visited Cincinnati on Oct. 21, 2001, played a formative role in Johnson’s coaching development. Johnson has credited Shoop as one of his biggest mentors, and it seems fitting that we revis...
This summer, I took the opportunity to survey the landscape of Chicago Bears rivalries entering the 2025 NFL season. This included a ranking of the team’s (or fanbase’s) ten biggest rivals, with three honorable mentions thrown in for good measure: My ranking took a number of factors into consideration, but now that the we are […]
