GM #14: Winnipeg Jets @ San Jose Sharks

The Winnipeg Jets ( 9-4-0 ) will continue their road trip with a visit to the San Jose Sharks ( 5-6-3 ) on Friday night ( 9 pm Central start ). The trip didn’t start off great as the True North offense dried up, allowing the Los Angeles Kings to shut out our club for the second time this year. Interestingly enough, the Sharks will be coming in off a big 6-1 victory over the Seattle Kraken, the other NHL team that has blanked the Jets this season. Winnipeg’s leading scorers are hardly surp...

Mark Pope defends Kam Williams amid shooting slump

Kam Williams was the talk of the town in the summer, with some even floating first-round NBA buzz. He came from Tulane, where he averaged 9 points on 48% shooting, 41% from 3, and 4.5 rebounds in 32 minutes. His numbers were expected to explode in Mark Pope’s modern offense, which, to be fair, hasn’t looked […]

Week 10 Preview: Will the Real Vikings Please Stand Up?

The Minnesota Vikings are returning home to U.S. Bank Stadium to face yet another 2024 playoff team with high expectations for 2025, the Baltimore Ravens. It was frustrating enough that the NFL schedulers deliberately made things difficult with back-to-back European games, followed by a quick turnaround to travel to L.A. to face a Chargers team […]

Robert Saleh says Keion White reminds him of one of his former players; talks Renardo Green’s ascension and potential leaders

It’s been a challenging season for San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh. We saw the potential of what a healthy defense could look like in Week 1 against the Seattle Seahawks when they held that offense to 13 points. Since then, no team has kept the Seahawks under 20 points. There have been four […]

He, alongside Giannis, is the heart and soul of the Bucks. Bobby has helped this team accomplish so much, and he’s had so many awesome moments in a green-and-cream jersey. That’s […]

Blackhawks Week That Was and Will Be, 11/7: Just win, baby

Sorry it’s late, folks. It’s been a week. We’re about one month into this season now and we’ve talked about the process a lot and we’re going to continue to do that because that’s the path to long-term sustainability here. The good teams always seem to have the puck more than their opponents, even in the postseason, and that’s why those possession numbers are going to be a constant theme because all of those little things on the ice, all of those little 1-on-1 moments that are won, add up...

On dribble penetration and the abysmal Mavericks offense

The Dallas Mavericks are 2-7 and currently sit at 15th place in the Western Conference. There are 15 teams in the Western Conference. For a team with title aspirations and a luxury tax bill, this start is a disaster of epic proportions. The team has already been ravaged by injuries, which, given the personnel, is […]

Marcus Smart is exactly the player the Lakers need

There are just under five minutes left in the first half and the Lakers are trailing the Wolves by five points. Their defense is a bit scrambled and Austin Reaves is isolated against Julius Randle above the break, shaded towards the left side of the floor. With just nine seconds left on the shot clock, […]

Breakdown of Blame: Vikings vs. Lions

I just couldn’t do it. Knowing about Carson Wentz’ shoulder, I couldn’t stomach watching him get sacked anymore and writhing in pain. So the series of where I place blame for sacks given up by the Minnesota Vikings will mercifully be missing a couple of weeks. Luckily, J.J. McCarthy is back and healthy. He took […]

Sorry, Coach…The Boat Is On Fire

In his post-game presser following an embarrassing home loss to the Pelicans, Head Coach Jason Kidd claimed the Dallas Mavericks’ offensive struggles were just “missed open shots”—a cold streak that would soon thaw. But eight games into 2025–26, the numbers and the film agree on something harsher: the Mavericks aren’t just cold. They’re uncreative. Fast […]

Blackhawks Compete Beginning to Convert Doubters to Believers

Back in early October, just a handful of games into the 2025-26 Blackhawks season, I spotlighted comments from head coach Jeff Blashill and goaltender Spencer Knight that got my attention. They were talking about mindset and process. And the Blackhawks approaching things with an approach of building an understanding of what it takes to be a playoff team. “I really appreciate his eye for details, ” Knight said about Blashill at the time. “ [He’s] building a style that is sustainable o...
