With Illinois reaching the Final Four tonight, we re-post this interview of Deron Willliams, discussing about Brad Underwood. In the Illini nation, the opinion of Deron Williams will always hold sway. The greatest NBA player in Illini basketball history, or at least for the modern era, he is what you would call “a club legend.” […]

Sebastian Fundora faced almost no resistance tonight in a one-sided beatdown win over Keith Thurman, and told PBC’s Jim Gray after the bout that he thought the fight would be tougher than it was. “It was a lot easier than I expected,” he admitted in his post-fight interview. Fundora (24-1-1, 16 KO) said that he […]
In case you missed it, the Denver Summit — the Mile High City’s new NWSL team — made quite a debut today: The game ended on a 0-0 draw, but what a great day for Denver sports. And that raises an interesting question: Is Denver the best sports town in the United States? It’s home […]
Craig Berube addressed the media after his team’s 5-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues, which dropped the Maple Leafs’ record to 31-30-13. On the team’s lackadaisical performance: We had one player who showed up tonight, and that was our goalie. That is really what it boils down to. It’s very disappointing. I thought the […]

The Atlanta Hawks were in action on Saturday evening to face the Sacramento Kings. The Hawks were coming into this game after a tough loss against the Boston Celtics yesterday, and they were looking to get back on track against a team who hasn’t played well. The Kings have had a long injury list throughout […]
It shouldn’t be a surprise that they could find a good singer in Nashville, but the anthems tonight were quite pleasant to listen to.
First period
After 16 shots against on Tuesday and 13 on Thursday, what can the Canadiens do in this opening period?
The first line gets stuck in its own zone (maybe more fitting to say the top pairing did), but the second one gets some zone time and a shot.
A better job from the top line on the next shift when Nick Suzuki knocks the puck...
The next goal eluded the Wolf Pack on this night, and they fell in a tight divisional battle.
Marty McSorley isn't a player that one forgets about thanks to his impact on the game when he played. The 62 year-old enforcer was a decent defenceman who was known more for throwing knuckles than making crisp passes, but he was memorable. Whether it was the illegal stick in the 1993 Stanley Cup Final or the stick-swinging incident against the Vancouver Canucks, McSorley may also be remembered for the major mistakes he made while playing the game. One of the things that I forgot, though, was t...
After a massive OT win in Vegas on Thursday night, the Edmonton Oilers were back at Rogers Place for a little matinee action against the Pacific Division-leading Anaheim Ducks. And in what could be a playoff matchup down the line, these two teams definitely played this game like it meant way more than just some…
“We just can’t afford to spot a desperate hockey team three goals. Turning pucks over and losing assignments [cost the team]. I like our push back [in the second period], but then we take penalties… We’re going to wash this one away, and we still have to learn from it because if we want to […]

The Philadelphia Flyers might be getting their top prospect to join the team and provide a major boost within the next couple of days.
Porter Martone and his Michigan State Spartans faced the Wisconsin Badgers on Saturday afternoon to decide who gets to go to the Frozen Four and compete for a national championship. The Spartans were the favorites heading into the game as the No. 3 seed overall and looked the part as they came back from a 1-0 deficit to make it a 3-1 lead in the middle of ...
The Pittsburgh Penguins lost 6-3 against the Dallas Stars on Saturday. Erik Karlsson recorded a goal and two assists but it wasn’t enough after Dallas hit two empty nets to extend the final result. Check out the highlights here:
This game was a real litmus test for the current streaking Devils, and the dumb part of me still wondered “what if.” Welp, that dumb part of me got put away in the middle of the second. As the game wore on, the Canes did what they do – stayed patient, forced mistakes and capitalized. […]
Brandon Bussi made seventeen saves in his best performance since the Olympic Break, the Canes shook off a slow first period, and then dominated the New Jersey Devils from the second period on to win 5-2 at Lenovo Center Saturday. The Hurricanes had been off since a 5-2 loss to Montreal on Tuesday—a team that […]
On Saturday, Flyers prospects Porter Martone and Shane Vansaghi and the Michigan State Spartans faced the Wisconsin Badgers with a Frozen Four appearance on the line. The teams entered the game after different experiences in their opening contests, with Michigan State holding onto a one-goal game that saw UConn pepper Trey Augustine with over 40 shots on goal, while Wisconsin completely locked down Dartmouth. Quick goals were the theme of the game that eventually needed overtime to decide a wi...
The Texas Rangers scored five runs while the Philadelphia Phillies scored four runs in ten innings. Never a doubt, right? Ha ha ha… Corey Seager homered off Aaron Nola. So too did Jake Burger. That was a few hours ago. Feels like weeks. Then Rangers got a nice spot start from the other other Jacob, […]
After eight innings of struggling to muster consistent at-bats against a variety of Texas Rangers pitchers, they woke up in the ninth because the final three outs are always the hardest ones to get. With a three-nothing Rangers lead heading into the ninth, the Phillies had Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper, and Alec Bohm due up […]
“ We’re treating it like a super regional. This is truly a Super Regional matchup. They’re an amazing team, and they’re gonna be making their adjustments as two for game three.” – Jordy Frahm post-game When the Huskers went to take their last at-bats in the bottom of the 7th, it appeared the final punch […]
That was a statement victory by the Edmonton Oilers. On Saturday afternoon, the Oilers defeated the Anaheim Ducks by a score of 4-2 to move within three points of the Ducks for the Pacific Division lead. Over the last week or so, the Oilers have started to look more and more like the team that…
The Atlanta Hawks (41-33) really ought to handle the lottery-bound Sacramento Kings (19-55), but crazier things have happened. Dyson Daniels (left great toe sprain), Onyeka Okongwu (left index finger sprain), and Jonathan Kuminga (left knee injury management) have all been ruled out for this game. Starting lineup: Please join in the comments below as you […]
The Flyers are back in action tonight for the first game of this weekend’s back-to-back. They’ve taken this show on the road, heading to Detroit to face off against the Red Wings and looking to build on the momentum from Thursday’s huge win over the Blackhawks, and for a chance to remain right in the thick of the playoff race. It’s make-or-break time again, folks!

Talk about the game with Pens fans here!
The San Jose Sharks wrap up the team’s three-game road trip today with a stop in Columbus to play the Blue Jackets. The last time these two teams played was on Jan. 6, when the Sharks won 5-2. But today is a different story. Now the teams are in much different position. San Jose is on a losing streak. Meantime, since Jan. 11, Columbus has gone 20-4-4 and jumped into a playoff spot. The Blue Jackets are third in the Metropolitan Division as of this morning, knocking the New York Islanders down ...
