On November 24th in 2008, Montreal Canadiens blueliner Ryan O'Byrne played the puck into his own net during a delayed penalty, tying up the game for the New York Islanders with five minutes remaining in the third period. O'Byrne's own goal was credited to Islanders captain Bill Guerin, who subsequently sealed the 4-3 win with his third round shootout score as the Habs faithful taunted a dejected
In the New York Jets’ eighth game of the 2025 season, on a cool, partly cloudy autumn afternoon in Cincinnati, Ohio, the Jets beat the Cincinnati Bengals, 39 – 38 in a wild back and forth contest. The first half saw the Jets offense show some life, but the Jets defense fail miserably on the […]
The Carolina Panthers are entering Week 15 tied with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for first place in the NFC South.

The Cincinnati Bengals received a 7th-round pick in 2026 in exchange for linebacker Logan Wilson earlier on Tuesday morning. So, the Dallas Cowboys have a new linebacker. That is a price any team could have pulled off, suggesting the San Francisco 49ers are content with Tatum Bethune moving forward. On Monday, the Baltimore Ravens received […]
The Colorado Avalanche face off against the Nashville Predators for the second time in three games tonight at Ball Arena to wrap up a quick two game homestand. Yep, you read that right.

Joe’s back from Disney, Eric’s furious about Notre Dame, and the Rangers just battled two Western Conference giants—buckle up for a loaded episode.

After a rough start, the Flyers battled back to force overtime, but ultimately fell to the Senators by a score of 3-2 in OT. The Basics First period: 5:14 — Tim Stützle (David Perron, Ridly Greig), 6:19 — Michael Amadio (Claude Giroux, Shane Pinto) Second period: 11:23 —...

Craig Berube addressed the media after the Maple Leafs’ 5-2 win over the Montreal Canadiens in the season opener. On the team’s performance: There was a lot of good, and there was stuff we have to work on, obviously. We did a good enough job to win the game.

A two-goal night from Morgan Geekie helped the Boston Bruins rebound from a slow start and gain control of the game to defeat the Utah Mammoth, 4-1, at the TD Garden on Tuesday night. The Bruins have now won five of their last six games. Pastrnak assisted on both of Geekie’s goals while Jeremy Swayman […]
We can all agree with Craig Berube’s lamentation of his team’s lack of urgency to start the third period while down a goal in this game. The contest obviously ended inside the first two minutes of the final frame when the Leafs came out, played in their own end, punted pucks back to the Oilers […] The post Game Review: Same old problems plague Maple Leafs in HNIC loss to Oilers appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .

So the landscape of the National Hockey League’s Central Division changed drastically on Friday when the Vancouver Canucks gave up trying to retain star defenseman Quinn Hughes and instead moved him to the Minnesota Wild for a package of young players & picks. The Winnipeg Jets already had to deal with juggernauts like the Colorado Avalanche & Dallas Stars in a fight for a playoff spot….and now the 3rd place Wild have added a difference maker like Hughes to help them stay in front of the ...
The Chicago Blackhawks welcome the New York Rangers to the United Center on Wednesday night, kicking off the first of their two matchups this season and with both teams looking to get back in the win column. The Rangers’ season so far has been defined by uneven stretches and a standings picture that changes every other night. They’re currently on the outside looking in when it comes to the playoff race, but the Eastern Conference is so tightly packed that one good run — or one poorly time...
The Montreal Canadiens have been having trouble in net, and it's dragging their team down. They are not satisfied with what the tandem of Sam Montembeault (the entire season) and Jakub Dobes (more recently) has been providing them. The Canadiens are apparently fed up with the poor performances of both their NHL goalies and will put some pressure on both of them with the call-up of Jacob Fowler. Their highly touted young goalie has been lights out in the AHL and deserves the call, especially gi...
