Tonight, the Montreal Canadiens fell 4-0 in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Final and now trail the series 3-1 against the Carolina Hurricanes. And honestly? After Game 1, where the Habs won 6-2 on the road in Carolina, us Montreal fans probably got a little carried away. Because pretty much ever since that first period of the series, it’s been downhill. Sure, they managed to force Games 2 and 3 to overtime, but tonight was rough. No way around it. But I’ve been seeing Cana
I just watched Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs. This very well could be the swing game in who wins the NBA championship this year, as a lot of people do think whoever wins this series will end up beating the New York Knicks in the Finals. I won’t go as far as that yet, because the Knicks have been playing excellent basketball, but that’s besides the point. This is just a huge game in terms of who’s going to have
The wait is finally over. For the first time since 1999, the New York Knicks are back in the NBA Finals where they will play either the San Antonio Spurs or the Oklahoma City Thunder. And right now, this is just the culmination of a complete revival of a once storied organization. The Knicks in the 1970s were one of the great organizations in the NBA (and is the last decade they captured a championship in) and in the 1990s, they made the NBA Finals twice, but just couldn’t ca
There is no way to put this lightly, the Montreal Canadiens, over the last two games in the Eastern Conference Finals, despite getting both Games 2 and 3 to overtime, have been absolutely awful offensively. After dominating Game 1 with a 6-2 win, the Canadiens have looked like a completely different team. Because of how bad they’ve played against the Carolina Hurricanes only registering 12 and 13 shots in Games 2 and 3, there have been a lot of narratives surrounding this Can
Earlier this week, I flew back from Tokyo to Vancouver, which is almost a nine-hour flight. So, I obviously had plenty of time to catch up on entertainment, movies, TV shows, or really anything I wanted to watch on the plane. Thankfully, Air Canada had one of my all-time favourite movies available in their entertainment section: The Batman. I've seen this movie plenty of times, but I hadn't watched it in over a year. So I figured, I love this movie, let's give it another watc
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
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
