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
