We’re still a few days away from Santa Claus’ overnight flight to deliver gifts around the world, so that gives us more time to think about who should be receiving them. Traditionally, Santa has a “nice list” on which the good kids who receive a visit from him are, and a “naughty list” where bad […]

They say first impressions last the longest, but what about first impressions being the only impressions? And if you fail to hit the ground running, it’s on to the next one in line? The Yankees experienced this with Dave Collins back in 1982. A strange strategic choice of their own volition, Collins had one disappointing […]
The Philadelphia Flyers have called up goaltender Aleksei Kolosov from Lehigh Valley today while also announcing that center Christian Dvorak and goaltender Dan Vladar won’t be dressed for this afternoon’s game against the host New York Rangers. Transaction: We have recalled goaltender Aleksei Kolosov from the @LVPhantoms (AHL) under emergency conditions.

29 Years Ago Today: The Blue Jays traded 28-year-old John Olerud to the Mets for 27-year-old Robert Person. I don’t know if it is the worst trade in team history, but it is my least favourite. We won the World Series in 1992 and 1993. Then 1994, 95 and 96 didn’t go as well. The […]

The Knicks enter the holiday week with little time to catch their breath, facing a stretch of familiar faces and balding foes. I count four plane rides, to-and-from arenas; one early game and one at noon . . . on Christmas, no less; and one contest that feels like a scheduled loss. This year, our […]
On December 15th in 2007, Chris Simon of the New York Islanders viciously stomped his skate onto the right leg of Pittsburgh Penguins pest Jarkko Ruutu with five minutes remaining in the game, earning the troubled forward a match penalty and his eighth NHL suspension. In light of his prior history and the severity of this indiscretion, Simon received a league-longest 30 game suspension forgoing
Let’s just say that was a schedule loss… …cause it was. Here’s the latest from your Knickerbockers. Mike Brown On officiating involving OG Anunoby: “I thought he was aggressive on his drives, he didn’t get any calls.

With plenty of talk about the New Jersey Devils, Washington Capitals and others, there's really only one other team that seems to have come genuinely close in the Quinn Hughes Sweepstakes. According to insider Elliotte Friedman , that team is the Carolina Hurricanes . "I think Carolina. That’s the team," Friedman told the crew on NHL Network Radio this week. "I know there's a lot of talk about New Jersey and other things. But I really do think Carolina was in there pretty good. I h...
