Okay. Sorry for missing a week there, but we’re back on the Syracuse Crunch coverage. You know who else is back? It’s Conor Geekie. The Tampa Bay Lightning reassigned him earlier in the month after he was off to a bit of a slow start in Tampa, but he hasn’t missed a beat at the AHL level. In three games he has three points (two goals, one assist) with both goals coming on the power play. Last season, he put up 20 points (11 goals, 9 assists) in 27 games, so, if nothing else, we know that he’s ...
After Friday’s practice, Craig Berube discussed Matthew Knies reaching 10 assists in his first 11 games, Sammy Blais’ impactful Leafs debut, and the status of William Nylander, Scott Laughton, Calle Jarnkrok, Chris Tanev, and Steven Lorentz.

On October 31st in 2010, Detroit Red Wings forward Darren Helm dressed up as his locker room stallmate and sometimes linemate Todd Bertuzzi, complete with matching fake tattoos courtesy of Jeff Shea at Wholeshot Tattoo and favorite pieces from the veteran's wardrobe.
Triple-taken by the sight of Helm when arriving at the team's Halloween party, Bertuzzi described the costume and ensuing
On October 30th in 2016, Ottawa Senators goaltender Craig Anderson returned after a brief absence to care for his wife Nicholle, who had just been diagnosed with a rare form of throat cancer, to backstop his team to a 2-0 win over the Edmonton Oilers.
Anderson stopped all 37 shots he faced, including 18 in the third period, to post the 35th shutout of his career. With news of his wife's illness
On October 30th in 1997, New York Rangers forward Wayne Gretzky skated in a game against cross-river rival New York Islanders at Nassau Coliseum with his name mispelled "Gretkzy" on the back of his jersey.
Far from an isolated incident in the world of sport with typos and misspellings abound, rarely does it involve the sports greatest player of all time skating for one of the league's highest
It's not new to see Evan Bouchard taking the brunt of the blame for an Edmonton Oilers loss, but the vitriol is reaching epic proportions in Oil Country after his disastrous game in their 4-3 overtime loss to the New York Rangers Thursday night. Let's start with Oilers beat writers, who are once again questioning the beleaguered defenseman's performance, and the lack of a benching. Epic night for Bouchard, who goes minus-3 with the primary giveaway on two Rangers goals. He goes to ...

On Thursday, the Colorado Avalanche signed Martin Nečas to a massive eight-year, $92 million extension, with an annual cap hit of $11.5 million. He is now just the latest top 2026 free agent to come off the board, as next summer’s market continues to look drier by the day. Nečaswas dealt to the Avalanche last…
For the second time this season, the Green Bay Packers are set to be favored by double digits. The Packers host the Carolina Panthers at Lambeau Field on Sunday and as of mid-day Friday the point spread is up to 13.5, a full point higher than the spread on Monday morning. The last time the […]
The Green Bay Packers officially ruled out receiver Dontayvion Wicks (calf), defensive end Lukas Van Ness (foot) and linebacker Nick Niemann (pectoral) versus the Carolina Panthers, after all three were non-participants throughout the week. Both Wicks and Van Ness were out last week against the Pittsburgh Steelers, while Niemann dropped out of the game with […]
The Edmonton Oilers could clean some things up in their game, but are currently over .500 and in a playoff spot. Things could be worse and they have been to start each of the last two seasons, but the team turned it around and has gone to back-to-back Stanley Cup Finals. Goaltending has been the biggest issue with the Oilers and why many believe they haven't yet hoisted the Cup. On that, Ryan Richaug said, "They're going to let it ride here with Skinner for a little bit...If he's not capable o...
The Detroit Lions (5-2) and Minnesota Vikings (3-4) have declared their Week 9 injury designations ahead of their Sunday NFC North showdown at Ford Field.

The Minnesota Vikings head to Detroit to take on the Lions. The Vikings are coming off back-to-back losses, but are expected to have key players returning from injury. Andrew Van Ginkel will hope to shore up a struggling purple defense. On the other side of the ball, second-year man J.J. McCarthy is back from his […]
A big boost is coming for the Jets on the road trip.
Last year, the Minnesota Wild's motto was "Choose Your Hard." We don't know what their motto is this year, but "Choose Your Harden" is as good a guess as any.
That's a Pokémon joke, so let's explain that real quick. Pokémon evolve into stronger forms throughout the games, and Caterpie might be...
Colorado finally got back into the win column on Tuesday night against the New Jersey Devils, winning by a final score of 8-4. Today, they look to keep that momentum rolling against the Vegas Golden Knights, as they faceoff against them in a Halloween matinee matchup. This will be the first of three regular-season matchups […]
The Philadelphia Flyers have made a roster move that not many fans will agree with and it involves young defenseman Emil Andrae.
Announced by the team on Friday afternoon, the Flyers have sent Andrae back down to the AHL’s Lehigh Valley Phantoms. Andrae played just one game since his recall a few days ago, where he played over 15 minutes against the Nashville Predators in a fairly solid win for the team.
In addition to the Andrae news, the Flyers have recalled center Jacob Gaucher fr...
The Wisconsin Badgers are on their bye week, trying to recover from a six-game losing streak that has carried deep into conference play this season. After wins in their first two games, the Badgers have lost to the Alabama Crimson Tide, Maryland Terrapins, Michigan Wolverines, Iowa Hawkeyes, Ohio State Buckeyes, and the Oregon Ducks, all […]
He left the game last night approaching midway point of the 1st.
The Edmonton Oilers seem to be in great hands with general manager Stan Bowman as he has made almost all solid moves since joining the team. Nobody can bat 1000, but he also doesn't sit still and let things play out when there are obvious issues. The Oilers don't have much cap space to work with this season, but will have plenty to utilize in the offseason. But that is a long way away and Edmonton is a Stanley Cup contender again, even if they don't look like it quite yet. To get there, some m...

The Philadelphia Flyers are officially 10 games into the 2025-26 campaign. For those who enjoy numbers, that means about 12.2% of the regular season is already in the rearview.
With 10 games in the books, the Flyers have provided enough of a sample size for one to reasonably gauge what they are (and could become) as a hockey team.
So far, there’s good news and bad news. The bad news is the Flyers still have a ways to go before becoming a legitimate Stanley Cup contender. The good new...
While I was engaging in some online banter on who deserves the most blame for the game-winning JT Miller goal during Edmonton’s OT collapse against the New York Rangers on Thursday night, I couldn’t help but notice the time-on-ice distribution of the Oilers — it got me concerned about the direction the team is trending….
