He had 15 points in 18 games […]

The Toronto Maple Leafs will always be a hot-button topic in the offseason, thanks to the salary cap situation they’ve put themselves in.

Paul George’s wife is Daniela George. Paul is a star forward for the Philadelphia 76ers. He excelled at Fresno State and had his jersey number retired in 2019. The team itself didn’t have any success, so George’s college career is often overlooked. The Indiana Pacers chose Paul with the 10th overall pick in the 2010 […]

The only real reason to watch this game will be if you are a citizen of the country or if you have a bet. Costa Rica and Paraguay are both out of the tournament, as Costa Rica has a minuscule chance, but it’s so unlikely that it’s barely worth talking about. Costa Rica needs a […]

The fact that LeBron James and Bronny James could play together on the Los Angeles Lakers during the 2024-25 season is hard to comprehend.

There are plenty of father-son duos in NBA history, but Lebron and Bronny James will become the first to play together on the same court. The next closest gap was Damien and Gerald Wilkins, who had five years and 298 days between appearances. There have been many father-son duos where one or the other didn’t […]

The only question about this game is Argentina’s motivation to put their best squad on the field. Argentina could give up the top spot in the group if Canada beats Chile and tops Argentina in goal differential. Canada currently has an even goal differential, while Argentina is +2, so at the least, Canada would tie […]

Chile and Canada will likely be playing to advance to the knockout stage in this game as long as Argentina beats Peru. Canada is second in the group with three points, while Chile sits tied with Peru with one point. Canada can’t guarantee advancement with a draw, but Peru would have to beat Argentina and […]

The Seattle Kraken thought they would be the next expansion team to make a run at the Stanley Cup when they defeated the defending champion Colorado Avalanche in the 2023 playoffs. They had a young core that would only improve, and their 2022 draft steal, Shane Wright, hadn’t become a full-time player yet. The Kraken […]

Brazil is trying to bounce back from a disappointing 0-0 draw with Costa Rica in their tournament opening game. The odds of a draw in that game rose to +1100 before close. The Brazilians needed to win the first two games to set up a matchup with Colombia for first in the group in the […]

Costa Rica’s performance in their previous game must worry Colombia, as they held the high-flying Brazilians to zero goals in a shocking 0-0 draw. Colombia managed to hold off Paraguay to win their first match 2-1. Colombia now sits comfortably at the head of the group, and a win in this game would send them […]

Anton Silayev has tons of upside for the Columbus Blue Jackets as a shutdown defenseman and a 6-foot-7 frame that could only get bigger. He would automatically be one of the most massive players in the NHL if he came to North America after the NHL Draft. The issue is that Silayev’s debut in North […]

The Boston Bruins haven’t had a first-round draft selection since they took Fabian Lysell with the 21st overall pick in the 2021 NHL Draft. They did well in 2022, taking Matthew Poitras 54th overall, a valuable playmaking center that already debuted with the team this season unexpectedly. However, Don Sweeney and Cam Neely knew they […]

Tij Iginla took the hockey and scouting world by storm during the 2023-24 season. The previous year, he had just 18 points in 48 games on a stacked Seattle Thunderbirds team in his rookie season, and after losing in the Memorial Cup, the Thunderbirds shipped him to his hometown Kelowna Rockets. Iginla was right at […]
