Andrej Stojakovic was triple-cursed before he signed with the Illini. His last name conjures up memories of his father, Predrag (Peja). Peja was a 6-foot-10ish sharpshooter for the Sacramento Kings that tormented the Shaq/Kobe Lakers. He was the closest thing the NBA had to a true replacement for the late “Petro,” Drazen Petrovic. He shot […]
The short answer to the question above is no, I'm not an influencer by any means. The deeper answer is that I neither want to live my life in the public eye nor would I want to have my face and thoughts splashed all over social media. Frankly, it seems exhausting, and I know I could put that time to better use for a plethora of things. That being said, the news to the left today was pretty awesome to see as the Colorado Avalanche went ahead and promoted Kim Weiss to a permanent assistant coach...

No. 7 Penn State beat Notre Dame 4-1 on Friday night at Pegula Ice Arena in the first game of the season series.

The Miami Hurricanes are one of college basketball’s hottest teams. Winners of their last 10 games, Jai Lucas’ squad has made people quickly forget about the dismal events of last season. The Canes are no longer pushovers or laughing stocks. They are a legitimate NCAA Tournament team and even a contender for an ACC regular-season […]
The saying goes, “you can’t win em’ all,” and although the Avalanche put up a nice effort to the contrary, they did in fact finally lose a game on home ice their last time out. Can they respond accordingly in a matchup tonight against the Nashville Predators at Ball Arena? The Preds are a clipping […]
Jason Robertson of the Dallas Stars is atop the NHL's goal-scoring charts (non-McDavid/MacKinnon Division), with 27 through 48 games. He's having a sensational season, and it's hard to believe that the Stars would move on from him in a win-now year. At the same time, however, if they don't think they can fit him into their salary cap structure with the type of extension he's looking for, a trade could be in the offing. As Nick Kypreos wrote for Sportsnet this week, "If Robertson holds st...

Every once in a while, a moment pops up through the chaos of an NHL season, and you realize you’ve been watching the same player your entire adult life. For many Oilers fans around our fair city, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is that guy. As I write this today, my man is knocking on the door of…
Barcelona loanee Ansu Fati is back from injury and back in the goals for Monaco. The forward scored on Friday night in a 3-1 defeat to Lorient in Ligue 1. It’s a good moment for Fati who was making his first appearance since the end of November after recovering from a hamstring problem. His goal […]
Friday saw a minor trade go down in the NHL, as the San Jose Sharks and Carolina Hurricanes pulled off a trade. The Hurricanes acquired minor-league defenceman Kyle Masters and a 2026 fourth-round draft pick for the Sharks 2027 fifth-round selection. This move has other implications as the Sharks wanted to move out Masters to clear a contract so they could activate top prospect Michael Misa. Misa needed to be added to their roster in order to play in his 10th game of his NHL career, and the Sh...
The New York Rangers are out of it already this season, and changes are on the way. How sure are we? Very sure, as it's not often you see a general manager of a team send out a letter to the fanbase giving them fair warning that some roster changes are on the way. Full rebuild? No, it doesn't sound like that, but more so a roster re-tool for GM Chris Drury. The Rangers enter the weekend dead last in the Eastern Conference with a 20-22-6 record, and this is what Drury had to say on Friday: With...
After Friday’s practice, Craig Berube discussed the consecutive losses on the road, William Nylander’s status, Easton Cowan’s costly penalty in Vegas, and Anthony Stolarz nearing a return to the lineup. Do you think the last couple of losses have been tied to fatigue on the road? Berube: I didn’t feel like we were fatigued in […] The post Craig Berube on the message to Easton Cowan about his costly penalty in Vegas: “Just don’t reach there… Go through the guy, and it’s an easy play” appeared...
The San Jose Sharks continue this crazy road trip with a hop, skip and a jump to Detroit. The Sharks visit the Detroit Red Wings today for the second half of back-to-back games. Unfortunately for the Sharks, the Red Wings are well rested and angry. Detroit hasn’t played since Tuesday, when the team was shutout by the Boston Bruins 3-0 and outshot 41-24. Detroit is doing well in the last ten games, so that loss had to hurt. It’s 6-3-1 in its last ten games and sits in second in the Atlanti...
On Saturday, the Edmonton Oilers head on a brief road trip to take on the Vancouver Canucks. The two Western Conference Canadian teams have a shared history. Mark Messier has been the captain of both teams and they’ve played a handful of postseason matchups against one another, the most recent being in 2024. If we’re…
Greetings, Panthers fans. Welcome to the weekend. Feel free to use this thread to chat about (almost) anything you want: video games, food, movies, non-football sports, you name it. As long as it’s allowed by the site’s ToS, it’s fair game here. You know the drill. This is now an open thread
Earlier this week, it was revealed that the Dallas Cowboys requested to interview Green Bay Packers defensive line coach and run game coordinator Demarcus Covington for their open defensive coordinator vacancy. On Friday, the New York Jets announced that they had finished interviewing Covington, along with seven other initial candidates for the job. The Jets […]
The Minnesota Wild spent much of the 2020s trying to keep their defense pipeline flowing. Preparing for the day when the team would move on from Jared Spurgeon, Ryan Suter, Jonas Brodin, and Matt Dumba, they invested heavily in the position. In 2020, they used a second-round pick on Ryan O'Rou...
It’s only the middle of January, but the New York Rangers are already looking to put the 2025-26 season behind them and turn their attention to the future. A future without Artemi Panarin, it appears. According to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, the struggling Blueshirts don’t plan to offer the star winger a contract extension as the…
