Listen, I know Adam Silver and the NBA have taken a lot of criticism over the past few years, even from a guy like me who loves the league. I've had my fair share of issues with it, whether it be the play-in tournament, as I think 82 games is enough to decide playoff teams throughout a regular season. Whether it's the NBA Cup, which I don't really think has picked up a full head of steam, whether it's how the contract structure is now, or players sitting out more games than t
Ladies and gentlemen, the Montreal Canadiens have done it again. After escaping the first round against the Tampa Bay Lightning in a grueling seven-game series, the Canadiens worked their magic once again in their second Game 7 of these Stanley Cup Playoffs, beating the Buffalo Sabres four games to three in what was an epic series between two of, in my opinion, the two best up-and-coming teams in the Atlantic Division. I expect this to become a regular playoff matchup between
After an absolutely epic seven game series, which was one of the closest both statistically and just from watching, best displays of hockey I have seen in years, the Montreal Canadiens and Tampa Bay Lightning delivered an all time matchup. And in the end, the Canadiens prevailed, winning the series 7 games. And they did it behind probably the worst offensive game I have seen them play all season. They registered nine shots on net and somehow still won the game. That is all th
On paper, I guess the Los Angeles Lakers going up against the Oklahoma City Thunder should be a pretty fun series for the NBA. You have LeBron James, one of the greatest players of all time, and the Lakers brand going up against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the reigning defending NBA champions. Thunder guard, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will likely receive his second straight MVP during this series, as the Thunder look to defend their title and start building what could be the next
Listen, at the start of this Habs season back in October, if you had told me that the Canadiens would be in a Game 7 against the Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round of the playoffs, I would have jumped at that opportunity. Obviously, there were some ups and downs along the way, and expectations have been raised for this group after a successful season. Which brings me to last night.... Being up 3-2 in the series with a chance to close out the Lightning at home, getting a p
Last night, I went to see one of my most anticipated movies of the year, Michael. Obviously, it’s the biopic of Michael Jackson, starring his nephew Jaafar Jackson playing "The King of Pop". While I did have a good experience watching it, and would recommend going to see it, especially in theatres, because that’s where I think it plays best, I did find it quite underwhelming. I’m not some movie critic. I’m just a guy who likes watching movies, going to the theatre, and enjoyi
The Vancouver Canucks are coming off one of the worst seasons in franchise history. They finished last in the NHL, and at this point, they’ve pretty clearly committed to a full rebuild. With that in mind, this is easily one of (if not the most) important offseasons in Canucks history. With that, here’s how I would attack this offseason if I were helping run the Canucks through this situation. Move 1: Hire Kevyn Adams as General Manager or Some Front Office Role This might be
We’re still a ways away from the NFL season kicking off in September, but with the 2026 NFL Draft now wrapped up, this kind of marks that dead period in the offseason. Really, the only thing fans have to look forward to until training camp in July is the schedule release in May. With most of the major moves likely done, aside from a likely A.J. Brown move to the New England Patriots, we now have a pretty clear picture of what rosters and coaching staffs are going to look like
A few days ago, I was reading Cole Caufield’s article on The Players' Tribune where he was trying to get the Montreal Canadiens crowd ready for Game 3 of their playoff series against the Tampa Bay Lightning. To break it down in simple terms, he was basically saying there’s playoff hockey, and then there’s playoff hockey in Montreal. And honestly, as biased as it sounds, I think that was on full display last night. Whether it’s the pre-game introductions, honouring legends li
