Before I get into this any deeper, let me just say, Kevin Durant is one of the greatest basketball players ever. He’s been an athlete I’ve looked up to and, in a way, related to. All he’s wanted to do is play this sport. He’s a guy that, in my opinion, does seem a bit socially isolated. He doesn’t come across as someone who really enjoys going out. He kind of just likes to get shots up, and in a lot of ways I relate to that. He’s one of the athletes I’ve raised watching, and
There’s less than a month left in the NHL season, and the playoff race is really starting to heat up. So with that in mind, I’ve kind of been looking at potential playoff scenarios, what the bracket could look like, and what it’s probably going to look like. I also played around with what my preferred first-round matchups would be. This will be based on the matchups, how the rest of the bracket could play out, and just how the atmosphere would feel. So overall, there’s a lot
The 2026 Major League Baseball season is officially here. There are plenty of storylines heading into this year. Can the Los Angeles Dodgers pull off a three-peat? Can the Toronto Blue Jays get back to the World Series and avenge their heartbreaking loss to those same Dodgers? Will the Seattle Mariners go on a revenge tour after their collapse in Games 6 and 7 of the ALCS? There are also new faces in new places, like Bo Bichette with the New York Mets and Kyle Tucker with the
To start off, I don’t want people to think this is a heat-of-the-moment type of blog post. I’ve actually had this idea sitting in my drafts for about a month. This conversation really started at a Legends pub in Richmond, BC, about a month ago, when my friends and I were just talking hockey and discussing how good Tampa Bay Lightning winger Nikita Kucherov actually is. Then, this past Thursday, I got the chance to watch Kucherov and the Tampa Bay Lightning absolutely dominate
This week, NBA insider Shams Charania of ESPN reported that the Milwaukee Bucks and Giannis Antetokounmpo are in disagreement about what to do for the rest of the season. The Bucks want to shut Giannis down after yet another injury, one that has limited the two-time MVP to just 36 games in what’s been a frustrating year for both him and the team. Milwaukee is all but certain to miss the playoffs, and even the play-in tournament, sitting at 28–41, seven games back of the Charl
Before the NBA All-Star break in February, the Los Angeles Lakers just weren’t playing good basketball. The team felt awkward, like it was stuck in a transition between the Luka Dončić era and the LeBron James era. Austin Reaves was in and out of the lineup with injury, and it just felt like the Lakers were destined for another first-round exit this spring. And honestly, that still could be the case, but Lakers fans should feel great about their team right now. They’re curren
Tomorrow, every sports fan’s favourite tournament of the year begins: March Madness. 64 teams. One-and-done. All are battling to see who’s the best college basketball team left standing. I’ll fully admit, I’m not someone who watches college basketball consistently. I keep up with some of the top prospects heading into the NBA Draft, but I’m not tuning in every night. And yet, somehow, over the past five tournaments, I’ve managed to correctly predict the champion. Baylor in 20
I’ve grown up loving and playing the game of hockey since I was five years old. At one point, I probably thought I could be an NHL player, but it turns out the NHL wasn't looking for perennially mediocre rep hockey players, and it became obvious it was not going to happen. But along the way, I’ve had favourite players whose games I've really connected with. When I first started watching hockey consistently in the late 2000s or early 2010s, my first favourite player was Michae
On Tuesday, March 17th (my birthday by the way), the Montreal Canadiens picked up a massive win against the Boston Bruins in one of their most important games, if not the most important game of their season to date. This win kept them in third place in the Atlantic Division, two points up on the Detroit Red Wings and Boston Bruins for that final divisional playoff spot, and within striking distance of the Tampa Bay Lightning for second. With 15 games to go, according to Money
Entering this past week the Montreal Canadiens, according to multiple hockey stats websites, had anywhere from about a 92-94% chance to qualify for the Stanley Cup Playoffs this season. Now, after back to back losses at home against two California teams they had just lost to the week prior in the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, their playoff odds are still currently strong at about 80%, but they have set themselves up for a huge upcoming week with multiple Eastern Conf
So last night, after a few days in New York City, I returned to Vancouver. It was my first ever time solo traveling on my own dime and I wanted to write a blog post about my experience. To start off, I want to say it was a great experience for myself. It made me feel a bit more independent and that I can do this on my own. As I’ve written about a ton in the past, I am an introvert. I like to be on my own. I like to beat to my own drum. I didn’t really have anything planned wh
Tomorrow night, I will be travelling to New York City, and this will be my first time not only visiting the Big Apple, but it will also be my first time travelling solo. I’ll likely have a post later on in the week when I come back about my experience and how it went. But before I leave tomorrow, I want to relate this to my passion, which is sports. And New York is obviously a pretty unique sports market, as it has multiple teams in multiple leagues. Because of that, I wanted
Over the weekend, a few of my friends and I went over to Legends Pub here in Richmond to catch up and talk about what’s going on in our lives. But obviously, with us, the conversation always comes back to sports, especially hockey, which is all of our favourite sport. As the highlights started rolling on the TV, we found ourselves talking about how disgustingly good players like Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, Quinn Hughes, Nikita Kucherov, Sidney Crosby, and ot
The NHL trade deadline is on Friday, and over the next week or so we’re going to hear a ton of rumours about certain players potentially landing in certain places. Before all the trades are finalized for the remainder of this season, I wanted to put together a list of dream trade scenarios I would love to see. Now, keep this in mind, these are not all realistic, and most of them (if not all of them) probably aren’t going to happen. These are simply players we’ve heard could b
Over the NBA trade deadline, one of the moves that caught my attention was Lonzo Ball being traded from the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Utah Jazz, who then released him, and he was expected to go sign with a contender. Well, as we enter March, Ball has not signed a contract with another team, and reports have emerged that there is a chance he doesn’t play another game in the NBA due to medical concerns. Keep in mind, there was a knee injury that caused Lonzo Ball to miss two a
This week is the NFL Draft Combine, and this is usually where business gets done for the first portion of the offseason. Whether that be agents talking to general managers about potential contracts or teams talking with one another about the framework of trades that could get finalized before the start of the new league year. With some big names potentially on the move this offseason, whether that be via free agency or the trade market, I want to give some of my dream landing
After about a three-week hiatus for the Olympic break, the Montreal Canadiens return to action tonight with a home game against the New York Islanders. Coming out of the break, the Canadiens sit second in the Atlantic Division with 72 points on the year, and while, as of right now, they are comfortably in a playoff spot, this is not a time to be complacent or even ease back into things with just 25 games to go in the regular season. The Canadiens need to be ready to pounce if
With the Olympic break coming to an end this Wednesday, NHL hockey will return for the stretch run of the season, with each team having roughly 26 to 28 games remaining on their schedule. With that in mind, I wanted to make a few predictions for not the remainder of the regular season, but also for how the playoff race could shake out over the next few months. Below seven predictions for the rest of the NHL’s 2025–26 season. Sidney Crosby's Injury Sinks Penguins Out of the Pl
Earlier this morning, I went over to a friend’s house at 5 a.m. to watch Team Canada and Team USA battle it out for Olympic gold at the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Games. It was probably one of the greatest hockey games I’ve ever watched, and unfortunately, the team I was cheering for, Team Canada, is leaving Italy with silver as opposed to gold. That said, there’s no denying that this was hockey being played at the highest possible level. There was so much talent on the ice,
So the Olympics are now done, and men’s hockey was terrific for the most part. It was the first time we got to see true best-on-best international play at the Olympics since 2014, and the tournament lived up to the hype. We saw so many great stories, like Juraj Slafkovsky and Team Slovakia coming out of nowhere and winning their group, Germany fielding one of their better teams to date, and the Finns once again showing they are one of the most underrated hockey nations out th
