It wasn't a bad game all told... and it came down to the wire.

Two upstart teams that are near a playoff spot just prior to American Thanksgiving. But the most important thing to remember is that a full 60 minutes are required to get the victory more often than not.

A Stanley Cup Champion in 2022 hits another milestone. It’s 1000 NHL games played for Nazem Kadri. What a special night this was at the Saddledome.

The Seattle Kraken finally return to home ice after a 2-2-2 road stand. This ended up being a pretty solid nightcap during ""Hockey Night in Canada."

Gutsy is one way to accurately describe this game... but to also call it lunacy would fit too.

Find out who is moving on to play the Dodgers in this epic conclusion to the ALDS.

Probably the hardest game I will ever have to call. But I am proud of my team and I imagine both Detroit and Seattle fans feel the same way!

If there was ever a doubt of Cooper and I having a good time watching the Flames in a brand new campaign of hockey... this would have been the time to have one. And no that would never happen! So, what followed must have been very memorable right? Check out our intermission content for some important news around the league and some personal updates from us!

When push comes to shove you can see (and hear) that the Mariners are just a better baseball team. But can what Detroit did in the late innings spring hope for Game 4? Join Alec Nava and I on the call.

This is a critical matchup in the AL Central for the Kansas City Royals who are aiming to keep pace in the American League Wild Card. For Detroit, it's about making sure Paddack can be a viable mix (or not) for the postseason rotation.

What you hope for in a meeting between two excellent teams in the same division is a great game with a lot of intrigue. Both the Brewers and Cubs provided just that.

Since the game between the Padres and Dodgers got out hand quickly we took an MLB wraparound look on this Saturday. Join in for the game and crosstalk.

On a special night at T-Mobile Park "51" will forever be immortalized for Ichiro Suzuki. The Mariners are on fire and are hunting an improving position in the AL West everyday. This was pretty fun, and Ian and discuss the news around the league and our teams.

One of the biggest movers at the MLB Trade Deadline was Seattle GM Jerry Dipoto doing work to re-acquire Eugenio Suarez. This was about as good as it gets and the boys are here with me to break it all down.

In certain instances most of these teams are starting to look really good. But I'm back (alongside Ian Genge) to let you know my thoughts and hopefully spark a few ideas about what the outlook should be and maybe after some steps ahead into the future.

The Florida Panthers were able to celebrate on home ice again. To be honest, this could be one of the best all-time teams we will discuss throughout NHL history.

If you want game tape on how to win a game in the Stanley Cup Finals... this is how the Florida Panthers get the job done. What a business-like performance.

Games can certainly get out of hand, but to see wild runs like this against two of the very best in NHL history is certainly shocking. Now the million-dollar question is what comes next.

The score line may have looked exactly like some pervious rounds, but to see "The Cats" put up this level of dominance on this stage in a game that matters so much... was pretty damn remarkable. Join the trio for this call, that was epic at times... physical, nasty and included some series talking points in intermission.

Look there are no words to describe what even happened in the first period alone. But we have taken an absolute cinema of Game 1 and crushed the expectations for that here tonight. This is the best game I have ever had the privilege of calling. Join Alec and I for the memories.

We got something in Game 1 of the 2025 rematch that we didn't get at all last year! Don't miss this one.

Get caught up before the big event with all the stats, stories and predictions you need to know! Yes, I've begrudgingly made my pick with analysis and not the heart! Still hope "The Cats" can do it again, PLEASE! (: Follow Our Live Broadcasts: On X, YouTube and Twitch.

The entire gang is back together for this pivotal matchup. If the Oilers win tonight... it sets up a Stanley Cup Finals rematch with the Panthers next week.

This Pacers team is a machine and Tyrese Haliburton just made NBA history with his stat line.
