Hopeless Sports Guy

The Dallas Stars are rolling right now and looking to pick up another win on a back-to-back. Even with so many players out currently, they can still make the game look easy.

This was a heroic effort from the Oklahoma City Thunder. They were down eight players! It ended going down to the wire. Pistons needed to take care of business.

We take a local look this week as the Detroit Pistons have a trio of Nationally Televised games on Peacock and ESPN (twice). First up, it's Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs. 

Forty-six years from the "Miracle on Ice" (and the birthday of George Washington) Thanks to Alec for that factoid. This game is an instant classic along with one of the best goaltending performances I've ever seen. Join in with us for all the analysis, reactions and unbelievable play right here.

The United States knew coming into this game that Canada would be the opponent waiting for them in a potential Gold Medal contest. They have to take care of Slovakia first. Listen here.

It was a wild day in the Men's Olympic Hockey Quarterfinals. Alongside Ian Genge, we covered the complete game of Switzerland and Finland... as well as another epic close between Czechia and Canada. This was a heart racing call.

What started as a very lethargic first period... quickly exploded into a goal-scoring display. All told it ended up being a pretty good game.

Sometimes you just appreciate the ability of a team that understands the task at hand. Canada began Group A play during Day 2 of this tournament and looked every bit the favorite they're expected to be.

Heroes are needed on the biggest stage during the height of competition. One of them may have been born before our very eyes.

Even though the Red Wings will meet the Avalanche again on Monday... my question I wonder is what will change?

The Los Angeles Kings haven't exactly been a wagon... but they showcased how to execute on the road against a dangerous Detroit team.

The third seed in the Metro might be the only spot in the playoffs available for the Islanders and Flyers. Catch the action here.

It was fun to watch two of the youngest teams in the league take flight in the Atlantic Division!

It was finally time for the Detroit Red Wings to retire just the ninth jersey in franchise history. Number "91" Sergei Fedorov was one of the best players (and most complete) in NHL history. Dynamic from five different skater positions. Included is the full ceremony, as well as a excellent game between two of the top teams in the Eastern Conference. What a special night!

 CZE looking for the first WJC gold in 25 years. SWE looking for just it’s second in 45 years! We put a bow on the 2026 IIHF World Junior Championships!

*This is an all-time game in the World Junior Championships Tournament history* To-Know: SWE has lost four-straight semis. FIN has made four-straight. All-time matchup numbers are 21 wins for SWE and 20 for Finland. Enjoy!

In 41 meetings, both the United States and Finland have each defeated each other 20 times. And eight of the last 10 meetings have been decided by one goal. So, now that you know what to expect.... listen in on this instant classic.

Cole Hutson took a puck the head in this contest and now everyone is wondering what's next for USA Hockey. This was a defensive battle.

This was a pretty good opening night, a high-scoring fun contest... and familiar rivals who both have gotten the best of each other in the past.

In a pre-Christmas battle of Alberta... Connor McDavid had another typical night. Crazy stuff.

Cooper Hopkins is back in the driver's seat with me for the first time since we opened the season with a Flames comeback against the Oilers. Now they look to take down another tough Pacific Division opponent. And keep our combined broadcast record on a torrid pace!

One of these teams is locked inside a major struggle and it isn't quite who you think. I'm going to save those notes for the next broadcast with Cooper, but until then.... enjoy a pretty good hockey game.

Lots of history making aspects were on the table during this broadcast and Alec Nava and I return to the booth to guide you through it.

Nothing surprising in Connor McDavid making more magic on the ice... but this would be the last game for Stuart Skinner in an Edmonton uniform.

If you really want to win a game in today's NHL, you have to compete for a full 60 minutes. This contest ended up being pretty insane!
