The NBA offseason has officially arrived. The New York Knicks won the championship on Saturday, and their championship parade wrapped up on the day I am writing this, and with the celebrations now behind us, teams can fully shift their focus toward what comes next. The NBA Draft is next week, and everyone is already speculating about the blockbuster moves that could happen. Will Giannis Antetokounmpo be traded? Could Jaylen Brown be involved? Are Kawhi Leonard or LeBron James
Wow, time really does fly when you're getting old. Believe it or not, this weekend marks the 10-year anniversary of the 2016 NBA Finals between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors, where the Cavs famously came back from down 3-1 to beat the Warriors. This series was the second edition of what eventually became four consecutive years of these teams meeting in the Finals. And 2016 is obviously the most iconic installment of that rivalry. Forget about it being the
So last week it came out that Mike Babcock is most likely going to be making his return to the NHL, as the Edmonton Oilers were keen on hiring him as their new head coach. Since those reports about the Oilers' interest in him came out, there was an investigation looking into the 2023 allegations against him in Columbus, where he was hired as head coach in July, never even coached a game, and resigned before training camp after reports surfaced about him wanting to see photos
After years of frustration, the Carolina Hurricanes are finally Stanley Cup champions once again. For the second time in franchise history and for the first time since 2006, the Hurricanes captured Lord Stanley by taking down the Vegas Golden Knights in six games. And they didn't just win the Cup, they steamrolled their way to it. Carolina finished the postseason with a ridiculous 16-3 record and as a Montreal Canadiens fan, I unfortunately was a victim of their pure dominanc
Just like that, the 2026 NBA season is officially over. The New York Knicks are NBA champions after taking down the San Antonio Spurs in five games, and winning the franchise's first title in 53 years. Now the attention shifts from celebrating the Knicks to figuring out which of the other 29 teams will be the one to knock them off the throne next season. If the Knicks' championship run taught us anything, it's that aggressive roster building still matters. Their title was bu
In the words of Mike Breen last night "It's over! Knicks fans, this is not a dream, your long, long wait has finally come to an end. Go ahead and cry, because after 53 years, the New York Knicks are NBA champions once again!" The New York Knicks are the 2026 NBA champions, and as a basketball fan, or as a sports fan in general, this is one of the coolest moments I've ever seen. But for me, this isn't just about the Knicks winning a championship. It's about the journey that go
The scenes coming out of New York City during this Knicks postseason run have been absolutely unbelievable. In a city filled with countless sports teams and fan bases, there is only one team that truly seems capable of uniting all New Yorkers... And that's the Knicks. Throughout this playoff run, the passion has been impossible to ignore. We saw it after the first-round victories. We saw it after the second round. We saw it after the Eastern Conference Finals, when the Knicks
Let me start this post by saying I'm okay. I survived. I'm fine. I went to work the next day. Nothing serious happened in the end, but after what happened last night, I figured it might be worth writing about. As I was sitting down watching Game 4 of the NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs, I was eating what was about as normal of a dinner as you can imagine for me. A baked potato, ground beef, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts. Nothing out of the ordina
While the Stanley Cup Final is still underway and we haven't crowned a champion yet, the NHL offseason is right around the corner. With a few days between games, I've been thinking about some of the storylines that could become reality very soon for this summer. Some of these predictions might seem reasonable. Others might sound completely crazy. But every offseason, things happen that nobody sees coming, and these are a few gut feelings I have based on the tea leaves around
Man, what a weird week this has been for me as a sports fan. Anyone who knows me knows I'm a massive Montreal Canadiens and Seattle Seahawks fan. And if you don't know me personally but have read enough of my writing (for some reason), you've probably figured that out by now anyway. The reason this week felt so strange is because when you grow up as a sports fan, you become emotionally attached to certain players. You look up to them. They become part of your daily life. In a
Last weekend, once the NBA Finals matchup was officially set between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs, I wrote about why I believe this is the perfect NBA Finals for the NBA. You have the future face of the league in Victor Wembanyama, who has already established himself as arguably the best player in basketball, going up against one of the sport's most iconic franchises in the league's biggest market. New York is a basketball-starved city looking for their baske
The other day I was scrolling through social media, as I usually do, when I came across a post with a simple caption saying the following: "It's cool to care." The post featured two images. One was of Victor Wembanyama's emotional reaction after the San Antonio Spurs upset the Oklahoma City Thunder on the road to reach the NBA Finals. The other was from Timothée Chalamet's acceptance speech at the 2025 SAG awards where he won Most Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a
A report surfaced this weekend from media reporter Marc-Olivier Beaudoin on Twitter claiming that while attending the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Montreal, Connor McDavid was spotted checking out neighbourhoods around the city. Beaudoin also reports that if McDavid were ever to leave the Edmonton Oilers over the next few years, the Montreal Canadiens and New York Rangers would be among the teams at the top of his list. Let's start off with one thing. The whole "checking out neigh
For most of this NBA season, it felt like a foregone conclusion that the Oklahoma City Thunder were going to be back in the NBA Finals and be competing for a second straight championship. After all, this was a team that came into the season as the defending champions. They started the year on an incredible run, opening the season at 24-1 and conversations began about whether they could challenge the historic 73-win record set by the Golden State Warriors during the 2015-16 se
The 2026 NBA Finals are officially set, and honestly, I don't think the league or we fans could have asked for a better matchup. For the first time since 1999, the New York Knicks are heading to the NBA Finals. Standing in their way? The same franchise they faced 27 years ago... The San Antonio Spurs. Over the last several years, the NBA Finals have lacked a certain level of excitement that many fans became use to having during the LeBron James versus Stephen Curry era in the
And that's all she wrote for the Montreal Canadiens' 2025-26 season. The Canadiens' remarkable playoff has come to an end after a 6-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Final. While Montreal managed to take Game 1 by a score of 6-2, the reality is that Carolina controlled this series from Game 2 on. Even though Games 2 and 3 required overtime, the Hurricanes were the better team in both contests. The final two games weren't particularly compet
Tonight, the Montreal Canadiens fell 4-0 in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Final and now trail the series 3-1 against the Carolina Hurricanes. And honestly? After Game 1, where the Habs won 6-2 on the road in Carolina, us Montreal fans probably got a little carried away. Because pretty much ever since that first period of the series, it’s been downhill. Sure, they managed to force Games 2 and 3 to overtime, but tonight was rough. No way around it. But I’ve been seeing Cana
I just watched Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs. This very well could be the swing game in who wins the NBA championship this year, as a lot of people do think whoever wins this series will end up beating the New York Knicks in the Finals. I won’t go as far as that yet, because the Knicks have been playing excellent basketball, but that’s besides the point. This is just a huge game in terms of who’s going to have
The wait is finally over. For the first time since 1999, the New York Knicks are back in the NBA Finals where they will play either the San Antonio Spurs or the Oklahoma City Thunder. And right now, this is just the culmination of a complete revival of a once storied organization. The Knicks in the 1970s were one of the great organizations in the NBA (and is the last decade they captured a championship in) and in the 1990s, they made the NBA Finals twice, but just couldn’t ca
There is no way to put this lightly, the Montreal Canadiens, over the last two games in the Eastern Conference Finals, despite getting both Games 2 and 3 to overtime, have been absolutely awful offensively. After dominating Game 1 with a 6-2 win, the Canadiens have looked like a completely different team. Because of how bad they’ve played against the Carolina Hurricanes only registering 12 and 13 shots in Games 2 and 3, there have been a lot of narratives surrounding this Can
