Brett de Geus certainly gets around. Since being drafted in 2017, Brett de Geus has spent time with nine different organizations, including two stints with the Miami Marlins. He started the year with the Blue Jays (who had claimed him off waivers in September), but they sold him to the Pirates, with whom he opened […]
Stock Up Laiatu Latu The breakout year continues for Latu, who had his first career multi-sack game, a tackle for loss, and six stops in the running game. He is slowly becoming one of the best overall edge rushers in the NFL, and his production under Anarumo has been impressive. First time in quite some […]
The Indianapolis Colts came back down to Earth in Week 9 against the Pittsburgh Steelers after a blistering, league-best 7-1 start to the season. Long story short, the Colts were simply outmatched over the course of four quarters, but is it enough to warrant hitting the panic button? The players don’t believe so. Quite frankly, […]
One of the most positive aspects of the Pittsburgh Penguins’ Monday night collapse against the Toronto Maple Leafs was what looked like another step forward in the development of rookie forward Ben Kindel. Kindel finished the night with two goals in the Penguins’ first multi-goal game by a teenager since Olli Maatta in 2014. That’s […]
Former Pittsburgh Pirate Ke’Bryan Hayes was named the 2025 National League Gold Glove Defender at third base, making this the second time in his career that he has received the award. Though Hayes’ game is by no means complete, it certainly seems to me that given his talents, the Pirates should not have traded him […]
Happy Tuesday! It’s also Nov. 4, which means NFL teams have until 4 p.m. EST to make any remaining trades this season. Given the occasion, it calls for an all-too-obvious question: Should the Steelers be active at the trade deadline? It’s a question we’ve asked a few times on this site already, but given that […]
Channeling the spirit of the Toronto Blue Jays, the Pittsburgh Penguins lead 3-0 through 40 minutes of hockey but fell apart in the third period on their way to a 4-3 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs last evening. On the bright side, Ben Kindel continues to impress with his first career multi-goal game, scoring […]
There are many storylines emerging early in this Maple Leafs season, but one of the main ones is that they haven’t been able to string good games together consecutively. It goes without saying that good teams string good games together; that’s how they make the playoffs. Following a solid outing in Philadelphia, the Leafs returned […]

Craig Berube addressed the media after his team’s come-from-behind 4-3 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins, which improved the Maple Leafs’ record to 7-5-1. On the level of frustration with the team’s 3-0 deficit after 40 minutes: I didn’t think the first period was that bad, but we made a mistake on the first goal. The […]

Pregame The Penguins start out with the same lineup as last game, save the goalie rotation. The lines wouldn’t last this way for long. The Maple Leafs welcome William Nylander back to the lineup following a two-game injury absence and are going with these groups: First period The start of the game is lots of […]

It’s pretty clear at this point that the Green Bay Packers will let their outside cornerback battle continue until a clear victor has been named. After the Pittsburgh Steelers game, head coach Matt LaFleur said that the team will consider all options, including moving Keisean Nixon out of a full-time role. While we haven’t seen […]
After the last two games, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur has tried to downplay the quad injury that kicker Brandon McManus has dealt with this season. McManus missed two games with the quad issue, but returned to the field against the Pittsburgh Steelers two weekends ago. Since returning to the field, he’s missed […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers are reportedly planning on adding wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling to the practice squad this week, per Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. To make room on the practice squad, the Steelers announced on Monday that they have released cornerback Beanie Bishop from the practice unit. The move is slightly surprising since Bishop […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers have made it official and are signing wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Fowler reported last week that the veteran receiver would be heading to Pittsburgh, and now the two sides have come to an agreement. Valdes-Scantling spent 2018-21 with Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay, catching 13 touchdown passes […]
William Nylander returns to the lineup as the Maple Leafs hope to build on a strong effort in Philadelphia. It will be a stiff test against an 8-3-2 Penguins team that’s gotten particularly strong starts from Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Tristan Jarry/Arturs Silovs (7:30 p.m. EST, Amazon Prime).

The Steelers’ defense was the butt of many a joke after two consecutive losses in which they gave up over 900 yards of offense and surrendered 68 points. However, they washed a lot of that stink off with a tremendous performance over the NFL’s No. 1 offense. Pittsburgh forced six takeaways against the Indianapolis Colts […]
Daniel Jones and the Indianapolis Colts had a Sunday to forget as turnovers highlighted the affair. For a quarterback that took good care of the ball and moved the offense with ease over the course of the season, the pressure that Pittsburgh’s front created was too much as he fumbled and allowed balls to be […]
The Los Angeles Chargers are hoping to stay in the win column as they welcome the Pittsburgh Steelers for Week 10. The Chargers are coming off of a 27-20 win against the Tennessee Titans in Week 9, but a stronger opponent is on deck in the Steelers for Sunday Night Football this week. However, FanDuel […]
We all had Evgeni Malkin down as a top points man this season, I'm sure.
Your Monday edition of the Links, News, and Notes!
All it takes is one big win to rinse a lot of stink off of a two-game losing streak, and that’s what the Steelers did on Sunday when they defeated the No. 1 offense in the NFL. Pittsburgh handed the Indianapolis Colts a 27-20 loss and remains two games ahead of the Baltimore Ravens for […]
The last week was something of a roller coaster for the Philadelphia Flyers. It started off with a thrilling shootout win over the stupid and dumb Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday, followed by a 4-1 victory over the Nashville Predators Thursday night to secure their third consecutive win.
Since then, though, the vibes have not been immaculate. The Flyers have dropped two straight games, including 5-2 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs Saturday night and a 2-1 loss to the Calgary Flames on Sund...
Evgeni Malkin is making the rumors hard to ignore. At 39, he has opened the season among the league leaders in scoring and looks more like a prime playmaker than a player nearing retirement. That surge has revived a familiar question for March 6. Could the Pittsburgh Penguins explore an Evgeni Malkin trade if the standings turn and a contender comes calling, or will one last run in black and gold win out?
Why a Malkin Trade Could Happen
Multiple insiders have noted both t...
