The Philadelphia Flyers entered training camp with an open competition in the crease. Sam Ersson, who started 94 games over the last two seasons, was the presumed starter — or at least 1A in the tandem — with free-agent addition Daniel Vladar competing with him for starts.
Well, Vladar looked better than Ersson in the preseason, and that earned him the starting nod on opening night against the Panthers. Since then, Ersson and Vladar have alternated starts through the Flyers’ first five ga...
A look at the projected lineups and pre-game interviews.
And then there were three.
The Minnesota Vikings were defeated by the Philadelphia Eagles 28-22 on Sunday. Disappointing Red Zone performances, big plays, turnovers, and some questionable calls led to a deflating loss. The offense moved the ball up and down the field with ease. They just couldn’t punch it in for a touchdown. The defense was strong, for the […]
Mike and Dan recap the Islanders’ exciting first two wins of the season and the warts that are still very evident in their play so far. For a little while, they were 0-3 and staring down a quickly lost season. But two wins – neither perfect, but gutty and pesky – helped everyone breath easy […]
Nico Hischier, Timo Meier, and Dawson Mercer spent a lot of time together last season. According to Natural Stat Trick, in 264 minutes together at 5-on-5, that trio posted an Expected Goals For% of 50.90%. They out-attempted (51.08% Corsi For%) and outshot (51.14%) their opponents in their minutes, and they won the Scoring Chances For […]
The Los Angeles Chargers are hoping to get back in the win column as they host the Minnesota Vikings in Week 8’s edition of Thursday Night Football. The Vikings are going into the game with a 3-3 record after falling to the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles at home, which is part of the reason why […]
Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is expected to be fit and ready for the game against Juventus on Wednesday, according to a report by The Athletic. Courtois suffered a knock on his right knee while making a match-winning stop in the final minutes of the game against Getafe on Sunday night. He held his right […]
They’re cookin’ with gas up towards the northeastern corner of the state. The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins secured another two victories this past week to move their overall season record to a perfect 4-0-0. WBS started the week off with a 5-2 victory over Hartford on Friday night. Atley Calvert scored twice and prospects Tristan Broz and […]
It’s the “A Tale of Two Expansion Teams” finale as we look at the final on-ice position, the forwards. With so many positions to fill and so many options available, how did Cara Gardner Morey and Meghan Turner want the players leading the charge up the ice to look like?
From bad to worse. Any hope the Edmonton Oilers had in salvaging their five-game eastern road trip blew up in their face Sunday afternoon, losing 4-2 to the Detroit Red Wings. While the team secured an ugly 2-0 shutout victory over the New York Rangers to kick things off, they put up a stinker against…
The Ducks soccer team took to Pape Field this past week to host two midwestern rivals in the final 2 home games of the season. Wisconsin Wisconsin came into the Thursday game as the 15th ranked team in college soccer and would be a tough test for the young Ducks team. Caley Goldstein made a […]
In the first battle of Ontario this season, the Toronto Marlies dominated the game for 40 minutes. An inability to make it count on the scoreboard almost came back to haunt them in the third period. It’s an early, promising sign that this much-changed Marlies team hung tough and found a way to grind out […]

The Blackhawks picked up an impressive win last night, closing a tough segment of their season. They opened the new year with seven games in 12 days, skating every other day for almost two full weeks. And many of those games were against teams projected to be in the mix for a playoff spot this year. For a team that supposedly has the worst roster in hockey that we’ve been told will be cleaning up confetti after another draft lottery party, coming out of that stretch of games with a 3-2-2 recor...

You have to love the early weeks of an NHL season. One week ago, in our first rankings of the year, we had the Panthers in the top spot because they were 3-0-0, were wondering if anyone could beat the Bruins, and were trying to figure out if the Sabres would ever score again. Things can change quickly, you might say. And every night of NHL action is trying to tell us something. The question is how much of it is real, and how much we should ignore. This week, let’s use our bonus five to plant a...
