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
The first round of the 2026 NFL Draft is officially in the books, and after watching it all unfold, I had some strong opinions on a few of the selections. With that in mind, here are three picks I loved and three picks I didn’t like from the first round of this year’s draft. Pick I Love: Caleb Downs at 11 to the Dallas Cowboys My favourite pick of the first round has to be Caleb Downs going to the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys arguably got the best defensive player in this draf
The NFL Draft is officially here, and it’s time for my one and only mock draft of the year. No trades, and yeah, there are definitely some unlikely scenarios, but this is just how it played out for me. I looked at team needs, what they addressed in free agency, and even went through some draft history to get a sense of what positions certain teams tend to value. And overall, this isn’t necessarily what I would do if I were making the picks, but rather my prediction of what I
The NBA playoffs are here and it’s time to drop my full prediction. I’ll be going round by round all the way to the NBA Finals, breaking down how I think the next two months of basketball will unfold. Let’s get right into it and see how it plays out. Eastern Conference Round 1: (1) Detroit Pistons vs. (8) Orlando Magic - Pistons Win Series 4-1 (2) Boston Celtics vs. (7) Philadelphia 76ers - Celtics Win Series 4-1 (3) New York Knicks vs (6) Atlanta Hawks - Knicks Win Series 4-
The Stanley Cup Playoffs are here, and with that in mind, here are my full predictions for how I think the next couple months of hockey will play out. It’s the best time of year, so everyone sit back, save it, and cheer on your favorite team as 16 fan bases all hope to go on this incredible journey with their teams, all chasing the chance to be the one captain lifting Lord Stanley in June. Round 1 Eastern Conference WC1: Boston Bruins vs. A1: Buffalo Sabres It’s going to be
If there’s one thing I know about the Stanley Cup Playoffs, it’s that we always get to see unsung heroes on these teams come out of nowhere and help guide their teams to victory or play a key role in it. With the postseason set to start this weekend, I wanted to take a look at seven players who I think are going to have “a moment” this spring. Whether that means they play well enough to earn more of a role on their team going into next year, make a key difference in a victory
With the NBA playoffs set to officially kick off this weekend, I thought it would be a great time to look back at some of the best playoff series we’ve had over the last five years and give you my top five favourite series, dating back from last year’s postseason to the 2021 postseason. Here’s hoping for a great and competitive spring of hoops this time around, and let’s see what can make this list come this time next year. (5) Timberwolves vs. Nuggets — 2024 West Semifinals
The NBA postseason unofficially kicks off tonight with the play-in tournament, where four teams in each conference battle for two playoff spots. In this post, I am going to predict how the tournament plays out and what those results mean for the postseason. Eastern Conference Play-In (10) Miami Heat @ (9) Charlotte Hornets Starting with the 9 vs 10 matchup, the Miami Heat head to Charlotte to take on the Hornets. The Heat know this stage. They have been in the play-in for fou
After being in first place in the Atlantic Division in January, around the Olympic break, looking like a playoff spot was basically a lock, and at the trade deadline the Detroit Red Wings traded an unprotected first-round pick to push for the postseason. And yet… here we are. The Red Wings have now missed the playoffs for the tenth year in a row. The NHL's newest longest active postseason drought now that their divisional rival, the Buffalo Sabres are back in the dance this y
So tonight, March Madness wraps up, which marks the end of many people's favourite sports tournament. For me, this kind of kicks off a fresh cycle of the sports season. March Madness is the unofficial start of spring for me, which is playoff season in a lot of sports. The NHL and NBA will kick off their postseason over the next couple of weekends. Then once those seasons end, we get into the meat of the baseball season and the postseason push there. Then the NFL begins, where
This past Tuesday, I attended my first MLB game in nearly 15 years as my friend and I went to see the Mariners take on the New York Yankees in Seattle, where the Yankees won 5-0. After going to that game, and after following baseball a bit more over the past couple of years, I’ve started to think about which stadiums I want to visit in the MLB. Baseball specifically stands out because the tickets are so cheap. I only paid about $45-50 to watch what are supposed to be two AL c
This Wednesday marks April 1st, which for a lot of people is around the time of year when the school year for college students begins to wind down and people are going home. You can see summer just on the other side of the bridge, which also means people are going to be trying to get into their best shape possible. In light of that, I decided to take a bit of a break from sports writing today and give you my personal plan on how I plan to attack this summer in terms of stayin
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
