I haven’t slept well at all this week. Granted, some of this has to do with things happening in my job, but a bigger part has to do with what’s happening this afternoon. This could be Arsenal Football Club’s biggest game in over two decades. In 2022/23 we…

Sidney Crosby suffered a lower-body injury Thursday night and did not return as the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Ottawa Senators 4-3 in a shootout at the Canadian Tire Centre. Crosby appeared to tangle his left leg late in the first period and went down the tunnel after just…

Dylan Garand made 27 saves to earn his first NHL victory, and a trio of young players stole the show as the New York Rangers beat the Chicago Blackhawks 6-1 at Madison Square Garden on Friday. Garand, Adam Sykora and Drew Fortescue were all named three stars of…

Alex Ovechkin made history once again Thursday night. The Washington Capitals captain scored a hat trick against the Utah Mammoth, becoming the first player in NHL history to score a hat trick against 21 different franchises. He surpassed Brett Hull, who accomplished the feat against 20 teams. It…
