Now that the bye week is here, it’s time to update you on former Jets players and how they’ve been faring with their current teams. We will cover this in three parts, looking at offense today, then defense and finally special teams over the next few days. As ever, this list is intended to be […]
The Carolina Panthers were without Bryce Young last Sunday and instead had to roll with Andy Dalton. Recent history would have told you that the drop off from Young to Dalton wasn’t all that significant, and if the Panthers were going to compete with Young, they could do just about the same with his backup. […]
The 2025-26 NHL season is still young, with many clubs just hitting double digits in games played, and our New Jersey Devils have checked off 10 contests themselves. So far, results have been positive: the club is 8-2-0 good for 16 points and first in not just the Metropolitan division, but also in the NHL […]
The Packers and Panthers hardly have a storied history — the Panthers serving as a stepping stone on the way to the Packers’ Super Bowl XXXI victory is about as rich as this matchup gets. But Packers players have put up quite a few memorable performances against the Panthers over the years. Here are a […]
A look at the projected lineups and pre-game interviews.
The Minnesota Golden Gophers men’s hockey team will face an intense rival for the third weekend in a row as they head to Madison for a Thursday/ Saturday series against the #14 Wisconsin Badgers. The series is the Big Ten opener for both teams. Minnesota will look to try and get back on track after […]
Jett Luchanko has seen his time in pro hockey cut short for a second year in a row. In an unsurprising decision, the Philadelphia Flyers have chosen to send the center prospect back to the Guelph Storm for another year of OHL seasoning. The 19-year-old showed some promise and speed at the pro level, but failed to register a point in his four NHL games, while primarily playing bottom-six minutes. It was a story that mirrored Luchanko’s cup of coffee in Philadelphia last season: the little...
After 10 games, how does this Blackhawks team line up with the expectations from the season?
The propulsion of this year’s season is quite a bit different than what was planned. No team in any league has a blueprint that begins with a 2-5-0 record. Which isn’t so bad when the entity is the NHL, NBA, MLS, or Major League Baseball. They play so many games that a bad start can […]
The Seattle Kraken have gotten off to a solid start to the season, anchored by Joey Daccord and a deeper lineup. But the 5-3-2 start might not be fooling management, or organizations around the league that could look at the roster the Kraken have and pick out some valuable pieces they'd like to acquire. Elliotte Friedman said, "I guarantee you there are teams out there looking at all the draft picks the Kraken have and they're saying this is a team that has what we want. Seattle's going to hav...
The (first) day has arrived. When the 2025-26 regular season schedule was released, everyone I know went looking for the same specific games: Blackhawks vs. Jets. Yes, they’re Central Division foes; I’m not sure I would qualify it as a rivalry. But this year there’s a different element. Jonathan Toews is playing for his hometown Jets. After two years away from the bright lights of the NHL, the longest tenured captain in the history of the Chicago Blackhawks decided to lace the skates back...

Joe and Eric face off in a ten-game check-in: is it time to panic about the Rangers, or still just trust the process?
Tuesday night against Utah was the first time in roughly nine games that I felt like the Oilers gave us a glimpse of their “A” game. We really haven’t seen them reach that level since their win over the Vancouver Canucks back on October 11. Since then, they’ve had three other victories, but none of…
When the Calgary Flames are ready to trade Nazem Kadri, there won't be a shortage of suitors to take a run at him. Plenty of teams are searching for a top-6 center and Kadri could absolutely fill the void. In Calgary, he is the go-to, but when he takes a little bit of a lesser role, his game elevates to an even higher level. Darren Dreger said, "There are other Canadian markets, namely the Canadiens, Canucks, maybe the Leafs, that could absolutely envision a #2 experienced center like Nazem Ka...
Here’s why I’m NOT worried about Saturday afternoon when the red and black meet the ugly orange with a wildly mismatched blue: 1. Florida really doesn’t have a rushing game; they’ve only had 3 running plays greater than 20 yards all season (and none greater than 30). This adds up to only 4 yards a […]
