Sharks' Reimer makes incredible save, hears cheers in San Jose, but faces uncertain future

SAN JOSE - San Jose Sharks goalie James Reimer saw the puck slide over to Mason Appleton, who had most of the yawning 4' x 6' net to shoot at from his position a few feet away from the crease.The only thing Reimer could do, as his body was pointed in another direction, was to extend his goalie stick back to try and cover some small portion of the net.

3 Takeaways from the Dodgers' First Month of the Season

The Dodgers finished the first month-plus of the season with a 16-13 record and already have gotten May off to a nice start with a convincing win over the Phillies.For most of the first month of the season, we really couldn't get a sense of what exactly this team was made of.In some wins, they blew out the opposition.

Toronto Maple Leafs Perform Great, Will Clinch Series Saturday

The Toronto Maple Leafs lost to Tampa last night, failing to clinch the series victory.Though past performances continue to haunt how the Toronto Maple Leafs are viewed and analyzed, there is no real concern with last night's game.At least there shouldn't be by any sane person.The Leafs played well enough to win, and not only that, but they were probably not ever going to beat Tampa in four straight games.

The Toronto Maple Leafs Need a TV Overhaul (It's Brutal)

The Toronto Maple Leafs played a really good game list night.The Toronto Maple Leafs are also a fourth place team in the entire league, and given the parity of the salary capped league, where goalies and refs are the most influential participants of most games, that puts them within the margin of error from being the best team in hockey.

Andrew Friedman Addresses Padres Big Offseason, Dodgers Game Plan

The Dodgers had a quiet offseason, but down the way in San Diego, the Padres were one team that was particularly active.This difference in the two team's player acquisitions has caused many to believe that the Dodgers are not as big of contenders this season.However, though the Padres have been busy making moves, the Dodgers have been quietly putting together a plan of their own.

Islanders News: We're...we're not good (but still believe!)

"Lads, it's Ottawa."The Islanders didn't get the message.Same struggles, same result.You lost 2-1 to the Senators.Six losses in a row.My next check of the standings will be for lottery odds.Islanders News


If you avoided our recap because who wants to relive that mess? then I suggest you reconsider.

Toronto Maple Leafs Face Interesting Goaltending Dilemma Next Season

Heading into this season, the Toronto Maple Leafs had numerous questions regarding their goaltending.Last summer the Toornto Maple Leafs made some unusual choices when it came to their net, and It's safe to say that Matt Murray and Ilya Samsonov have exceeded expectations.While their goaltending has not been perfect, it has been solid.

Toronto Maple Leafs (Especially Keefe) Get the Result They Deserve

The Toronto Maple Leafs succumbed to the group-think of their critics, bought into the Classic NHL Magical Thinking as it relates to grit over players who aren't gritty but post consistently good results.Since then, the Toronto Maple Leafs - most especially their coach - have had a very hard time icing a decent lineup.

Each Loss Isn't a Referendum on the Toronto Maple Leafs

The Toronto Maple Leafs can't win for losing.When the Toronto Maple Leafs were on fire, it was "the regular season doesn't matter" but when they were struggling, it was "this team better shape up."To be honest, it's pretty annoying, but without any forward progress (at least the visible kind) it's pretty hard to avoid.

Raptors vs Timberwolves injury report for March 18: Is Anthony Edwards playing?

The Toronto Raptors need to get through this last chunk of regular season games with as few interruptions and poor performances as possible, as Fred VanVleet and the rest of the squad are running out of chances to gain ground in a significant fashion.Winning against the Oklahoma City Thunder was a nice start to this late stretch.

Lakers Notebook: Checking in on a Trio of Rotation Players

LOS ANGELES - After dropping last night's game against the Knicks, the Lakers are in a four-way tie for ninth-place in the West, but only a game out of seventh, two out of six, and two-and-a-half out of fifth.With 16 more games to go, L.A. has bought themselves a real shot at not just playing an 83rd game, but maybe even making a little playoff run.

Recapping TOR/WPG + TRADE TALK with Daily Faceoff's Frank Seravalli: Leafs Morning Take

New York Islanders at Boston Bruins: Weekend march continues [Game #59]

The New York Islanders are in Boston, with one injury-forced lineup change from last night.Josh Bailey is out.The story is familiar: The Isles wasted chances against non-playoff teams, so now this weekend is all the more important if they want to keep the thought alive that they could earn the right to become first-round playoff fodder.

The Toronto Maple Leafs Record Against Bad Teams Gets Worse

The Toronto Maple Leafs can't beat bad teams!The 2023 Toronto Maple Leafs regularly slaughter and destroy bad teams, then get bad results.This is really only a problem if you don't consider the nuance and subtleties of the situation.For instance: the Leafs games against the bad teams constitutes a very small sample size, while in fact the underlying numbers show that they rarely are outplayed, out worked, or deserve to lose.

NY Rangers defenseman K'Andre Miller suspended three games for spitting incident

New York Rangers defenseman K'Andre Miller will be suspended for the next three games, the NHL Department of Player Safety announced Tuesday.The discipline stems from an unsportsmanlike conduct match penalty during the first period of Sunday's 5-2 win over the Los Angeles Kings.It was assessed after he was caught spitting on defenseman Drew Doughty.

Morning Skate: Homeward bound

It is Wednesday, my dudes.Last night sure was something, eh? Watching that game, you got the feeling it was only a matter of time before Calgary took the lead.Once that happened, my feeling was "oh well, scheduled loss and still a great road trip."Then...yeah.You know the rest.There's plenty to like about the road trip, and last night's win in particular.

Losing a game in 8 minutes

One 6th of last nights game was played without Fred VanVleet's presence on the court.It was where the Raptors lost the game.Let's investigate why.Simply put, the Raptors lost the 8 minutes and 12 seconds that VanVleet wasn't on the court by 26 points.It's hard to even fathom that type of disparity, but it happened.
