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.

The Edmonton Oilers have a roster crunch coming. And it sounds like one of the victims could be defenseman Troy Stecher, who was a healthy scratch again Saturday night. The 31-year-old has played just six of the Oilers' 13 games this season, and has no points, while averaging 13:37 of ice time. According to insider Elliotte Friedman on Hockey Night in Canada , Stecher could be the odd man out with several players returning to the Edmonton lineup. They got a lot of players coming back fro...
Another sport rarely takes precedence over hockey on a Saturday night in Canada, but that was the case on November 1 as the Blue Jays faced the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 7 of the World Series. The fans in attendance at Rogers Place for the Oilers vs. Blackhawks game wanted to root for the…
Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft, coming off one of the best performances for a tight end in NFL history against the Pittsburgh Steelers last week, was injured against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. On a blocking play, Kraft’s right knee was caught in a pile caused by a Panthers defender going low on […]
Tottenham Hotspur picked up a new injury concern in yesterday’s 1-0 loss to Chelsea. Swedish midfielder Lucas Bergvall suffered a head/face injury that now has him in concussion protocol. It’s safe to say that he won’t feature versus FC Copenhagen. The same holds true for Kota Takai, Dejan Kulusevski, Dominic Solanke, James Maddison, Archie Gray, […] The post Tottenham Team News vs FC Copenhagen: Bergvall, Takai, Kulusevski, Solanke appeared first on The Sports Bank .
Green Bay Packers defensive tackle Colby Wooden left the action in the first half against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday with a shoulder injury. Initially, he was declared as questionable to return, but coming out of the half, the Packers ruled him out for the rest of the game. Wooden has been starting at nose […]
The Nashville Predators are struggling to start the season, posting a 5-6-2 record to start the year, and have even been mocked recently on Saturday Night Live. It's been a rough start with limited offense, and one big storyline in Smashville so far this season has been the sluggish start of veteran forward Steven Stamkos. Stamkos, 35, has scored just one goal and one assist in 13 games, averaging 17:30 of ice-time per game. It's Stamkos second season in Nashville, and while he didn't blow the...
The Montreal Canadiens extended their latest win streak to three games on Saturday night, with a second-straight of the overtime variety against the Ottawa Senators. They had to overcome some adversity once again, tying the game late in the third period to force the extra period before Alex Newhook iced it. As of this writing, they remain at the top of the standings in the Atlantic Division. There was a lot to discuss from that game; the Habs looking like the better team at five-on-five, ...
The NHL has come down on Pittsburgh Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin, fining the veteran forward the maximum $5,000 for slashing Winnipeg Jets defenceman Logan Stanley. Stanley, who is a towering blueliner who loves to play physical, had cross-checked Malkin a couple of times in the back, and was battling with him behind the net, when Malkin had enough, snapped, and chopped Stanley with a stern slash. NEWS: #LetsGoPens F Evgeni Malkin has been fined $5,000 (max allowable under CBA) for slashing ...
Coming into Philadelphia Flyers training camp there was an underlying excitement beyond the typical feeling of finally having hockey back. One of the reasons for that feeling might not be with the Flyers right now, but he’s making a loud enough noise down in the AHL that is starting to draw some attention. Alex Bump was projected as one of the few young players that could end up making the Flyers out of camp. He had an impressive showing with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms after his collegiat...
Before the 2025-26 campaign began, I wrote about what a successful season could look like for Vasily Podkolzin. I mentioned that success for him would include being a leader in hits on the Edmonton Oilers — which he currently is with 46 hits — and also surpassing the 30-point plateau. I wrote that surpassing that…
It’s always easy to break a game down to a handful of plays that decided the outcome in the aftermath of a game. Often, it’s a big defensive swing like a sack or an interception or a big offensive play that sets up or scores a touchdown. But in a close game like the New […]
Week 9 is here, and the early slate of games are ready to kickoff while we wait for the New Orleans Saints to kick off in Los Angeles along with the late slate of games. Here is today’s early slate: Chicago at Cincinnati Minnesota at Detroit Carolina at Green Bay Los Angeles Chargers at Tennessee […]
