The V ancouver Canucks appear to be open for business after trading their franchise defenseman Quinn Hughes and getting four assets back. But they don't seem to be entirely packing it in and fully rebuilding. That being said, there are still some players that are available to other teams to trade for as the Canucks are lower in the standings and have to still make up some ground. Bruce Garrioch reported, "(Kiefer Sherwood) has attracted interest from the Bruins, Islanders, Lightning, Stars, an...
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 […]
The Las Vegas Raiders have a Week 16 matchup against the Houston Texans, but this week’s mailbag is primarily focused on the 2026 NFL draft and the quarterback class, especially Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza. Q: If the Raiders wind up with the second pick in the draft, and a team such as the Giants has the […]

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. Additionally, goaltender Dan Vladar (upper-body injury) and forward Christian Dvorak (lower-body injury) are day-to-day and will not pl...
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 Flyers are chipping away at their remaining slate of action before the holiday break, and closing out a pair of games in the state of New York this afternoon with a matinee matchup against the Rangers.

Right now, though, both teams are out of contention and looking ahead to the draft. Let’s break down the Saints roster, […]
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.

Mike Brown On officiating involving OG Anunoby: “I thought he was aggressive on his drives, he didn’t get any calls.

"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...
