Reign will open the playoffs with a road rematch against Orlando.
The Islanders capped an impressive third period with a stunning reversal of fortune in a 29-second span to steal back a 3-2 win over the visiting Columbus Blue Jackets on Sunday. The Blue Jackets were playing back-to-back, after withstanding a similar third-period surge at home the night before. With a pretty entertaining and physical game […]
Real Madrid right back Trent Alexander-Arnold revealed that some of his former Liverpool teammates got in touch when the UEFA Champions League draw was revealed. “I spoke to Robbo [Andy Robertson], Mo [Salah], Ibu [Ibrahima Konate],” said Alexander-Arnold. “They were just laughing. I think everybody knew it was going to happen. We will put our […]

We're one month into the season already, and there are some storylines that are appearing in each division. Week Five's games may give us more insight as to which teams have a legitimate shot at representing Canada West in Elmira, Ontario in March, but we're only 48 hours into November so there's still time for teams outside the playoff picture to make changes. The Mount Royal Cougars got a chance to kick back, do some scouting, and watch the other eight teams battle this week, so let's check ...
Welcome to my weekly monthly very occasional NHL Grab Bag, a feature that, it may surprise you to learn, has tended to focus on the NHL. In theory, I should continue that trend this week. But that would involve a level of dishonesty, because I’d be implying that hockey’s been the top sport on my mind lately. And as all my fellow good Canadians know, that’s just not the case. No, we’re all about the Toronto Blue Jays up here, as they sit one win away from an unlikely World Series championship. ...
The 5-4 Carolina Panthers are favored for the first time all season after upsetting the upstart Green Bay Packers. Now that the Panthers will be viewed hither and yon as the legitimate Super Bowl contenders they’ve always been, they can finally start to enjoy their season. Last week, the Panthers were underdogs by a margin […]
The Philadelphia Eagles may have had a bye in Week 9, but they sure came up winners with the results of Sunday’s game. There were several surprises coming out of this week’s slate of games, including the Packers losing to the Panthers and the Lions losing the Vikings. These outcomes pleasantly affected the overall NFC […]
The further we get from the Mikko Rantanen shenanigans for last year, the less I understand it. This week, the Colorado Avalanche extended Martin Nečas — the prize for relinquishing Rantanen to Carolina — in a major way, eight years and $92 million ($11.5M annually). The 26-year-old Nečas has been tremendous in an Avalanche sweater: 44…

Jonas Johansson stopped 25-of-27 shots and Jake Guentzel’s third period goal proved to be the difference as the Tampa Bay Lightning picked up their fifth win in a row with a 4-2 victory over the Utah Mammoth. Yanni Gourde, Anthony Cirelli, and Brandon Hagel provided the offense to help Johansson to his third win in four starts on the season.
Curtis Douglas returned to the line-up to face his original organization and played 3:01, with his biggest impact coming in the first period when he ...
The San Jose Sharks are back on the ice this evening, just over 24 hours after winning in overtime against the Colorado Avalanche. Let’s hope the Sharks didn’t leave it all out on the ice because the Detroit Red Wings are well rested. Detroit was in town to watch the game. The Red Wings have won seven of the team’s last ten games and are 8-4-0 for the season, good enough for second in the Atlantic Division.
So far on this California roadie, Detroit has had a split decision. The Red Wings ...
Marcus Rashford scored his second La Liga goal of the season on Sunday to secure a 3-1 win for Barcelona over Elche at Montjuic. The England international lashed home a fierce shot at the near post after good work from Fermin Lopez to seal the victory for Hansi Flick’s side. Rashford had been enduring a […]
Happy birthday, Jordan Love; sorry your party’s so lame. The Green Bay Packers debuted their new throwback uniforms this Sunday against the Carolina Panthers and their depleted offensive line and…lost, by a score of 16-13. You’d think the Packers’ defensive front would feast in a game like this, correct? WRONG! For the first time in […]
The Green Bay Packers lost to the Carolina Panthers. It sucked. I don’t want to think about the game too deeply right now. Instead of breaking down the game, let’s just take you through the Packers’ Week 9 snap counts. We can start this week’s autopsy with who was on the field on offense and […]
After Tyson Foerster blocked an Auston Matthews shot in Saturday night’s loss to the Maple Leafs, he hobbled down the tunnel, but returned back a few shifts later and played the remainder of the game, and it looked like the Flyers might have just averted a crisis.
Well, it appears Foerster might have felt the effects of the blocked shot more than initially thought. Prior to Sunday’s game against Calgary, the Flyers announced that Foerster would miss some time with a lower-body injury and ...
The Green Bay Packers began Sunday as 13.5-point favorites against the Carolina Panthers, who played a banged-up quarterback in Bryce Young behind an even more banged-up offensive line — one which was missing three starters due to injury. The Packers managed to outgain the Panthers 369 yards to 265 yards in the game, but Green […]
The St. Louis Blues are off to a 3-7-2 start through 12 games of the season and keep an eye on them on the trade market. If things continue to go south these next two weeks, there's a very good chance in November, we see a significant trade from GM Doug Armstrong. There's been plenty of chatter recently about Brayden Schenn, which was the same story last season, but the Blues' captain isn't the only player who could be moved. There's rumors circulating that Armstrong has received calls on Robe...
Baseball season is over, trees are bare of leaves, and that means hockey season is in full swing. It’s been a mediocre start to the season for the Edmonton Oilers, whose win over the Chicago Blackhawks Saturday night moved them to 6-4-3 on the season through their first 13 games. The team knows they need…
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said in his post-game press conference on Sunday, following the team’s loss to the Carolina Panthers, that he hadn’t even spoken to the training staff about tight end Tucker Kraft’s knee injury, but stated that “it does not look good.” NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport seems to have someone […]
The Green Bay Packers wore uniforms that evoked the 1923 version of their team on this windy Sunday when they took on the Carolina Panthers at Lambeau Field. Unfortunately, at times it looked like their game plan came from that era of football as well, and the team lost a brutal 16-13 decision at home. […]
The Carolina Panthers defense suffocated the Packers offense in the red zone and their rookie kicker played the role of hero again. First Quarter Chandler Zavala marked his return to the lineup the best way he knows how—by committing a false start before the Panthers could get their first snap off. That put the offense […]
The Philadelphia Flyers face another Canadian team for their second game of a back-to-back. A loss against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night and now, facing the NHL-worst Calgary Flames. Maybe, there’s some hope to bounce back quickly.
