(TOR VS CHA) What The Hell Was That?
Toronto loses twice to a terrible Hornets team within a week. Coming off a heartbreaker last night to the Lakers, the Raptors got ready to face a Hornets team that ended their nine game losing streak less than a week ago. Charlotte wins 11-86. Charlotte has only won one game on the road this year, and one would think the team would come out and dominate them before they face three difficult teams in the Celtics twice, Knicks, and Bucks. The opposite happened. They came out fl

Is Ivan Demidov the Front-Runner For the Calder?
Has Demidov been the NHL's best rookie so far this year? Coming into this year, Ivan Demidov was the front-runner to win the Calder Trophy - the award given to the NHL's best rookie. His exceptional play in the KHL last year, coupled with his flash of brilliance during the playoffs, made Montreal fans excited about his potential this year. He's been great this year, while not exactly playing with bona fide players (sorry Kapanen, Newhook, Slafkovsky, and Texier). He has 20 po

(TOR VS LAL) Raptors Lose to Austin Reeves (and the rest of the Lakers)
Toronto contained Lebron James, but Austin Reeves became prime Micheal Jordan tonight. Image by thestar.com Coming off a win against the Trail Blazers, the Toronto Raptors were looking to beat a tough Lakers team. Facing them would be a litmus test, as Los Angeles is one of the best teams in the league. However, they didn't have Luka Doncic in tonight's game. One would think that if they could contain Lebron, they would win. They did that, and still lost. More specifically, t

Capitals Drop 7 on the Sharks, Ryan Leonard Suspected of Performance-Enhancing Witchcraft
The Washington Capitals continue their hot streak with a 6th consecutive win. The squad opted to show the San Jose Sharks no mercy, scoring 6 goals in the first two periods in a performance reminiscent of Genghis Khan's razing of steppe villages. The Sharks, on the other hand, played a 23/24 adjacent game before remembering how to play hockey and putting up a consolation marker in the 3rd. There were a good few memorable performances from the Caps, with Ovi keeping up the tea

The Daily Habit: What Does Our Third Line Even Do?
Evans, Anderson, and Gallagher have been a terrible line so far this year. Image by letsgohabs.com With all the injuries the Habs have incurred, it's only natural that the lines would get shuffled up. With Dach getting injured, Evans was forced into the third-line center role. With Laine getting injured, Gallagher ended up on the line with Evans and Anderson. While the fourth line is constantly changing players, the third line of Evans, Anderson, and Gallagher has remained ma

(MTL VS WPG) The Daily Habit: Montreal Grabs a Win At Home
The Habs put forward a much better effort to beat the Jets tonight. Image by habseyesontheprize.com Coming off a two-game losing streak, after winning three straight before that, the Montreal Canadiens were looking to get back in the win column against the Winnipeg Jets. The last two losses have been ugly for the Habs, with 7-2 and 5-2 losses to the Avalanche and Senators, respectively. Luckily, Winnipeg was also struggling, losing five of their last six games and without the

Caps Dethrone Kings, Wilson Nets Goal #16, and Alex Ovechkin Continues to Prove Himself a Capable Senior Citizen
The Capitals extended their win streak to 5 with a win over the Kings tonight. Tom Wilson continues his hot spell with another goal on Darcy Kuemper, who tonight payed homage to his former team the Arizona Coyotes by losing. Wilson's marker was assisted by a heavenly pass from the incredibly wise and talented Ryan Leonard, who keeps up his impressive rookie campaign. Beauvillier finished off a beautiful team goal to give the Caps the lead back early in the 3rd, and Protas emu

(POR VS TOR) Dino Den: Raps Back In The Win Column
Toronto holds on to beat the Trail Blazers. Image by NBA.com The Toronto Raptors were looking to get back in the win column after a couple of tough losses against the Hornets and Knicks, respectively. They did that, barely beating the Portland Trail Blazers 121-118 at Scotiabank Arena Tuesday night. The first quarter was full of offense, with Portland winning it 39-37. The next two quarters were much better for Toronto. They buckled down defensively and beat them by eight and

(MTL vs OTT) The Daily Habit: What A Disappointing Effort
Montreal put forth an uninspiring performance against a division rival. Image by Sportsnet. Coming off a blowout against the Colorado Avalanche, one would think the Montreal Canadiens would come out flying and play well against their divisional rival, the Ottawa Senators. The two teams were only separated by a single point in the standings. However, the opposite happened. They were outplayed and dominated by Ottawa, losing 5-2. 1st Period: Things started well for Montreal. Th

Abu Dhabi: Season Finale Promises Tight Title Battle
After McLaren decided to bestow upon their strategy team a frontal lobotomy, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is set to be the championship decider between Verstappen, Piastri, and Bottle o' Norris. The swathes of RB/Max fans online have been relentless in their posting of the Alice in Wonderland rabbit, and too with their death threats to teenaged Kimi Antonelli. Meanwhile, fans of the two McLaren drivers continue to have nightmares over a few millimeters of thin wood, proving once

The Daily Habit: Were the Habs Unlucky in the Playoffs Last Year?
Did Montreal deserve a better fate than losing 5 to the Capitals last year? Image by NHL.com The Montreal Canadiens barely scraped into the playoffs last year, doing so on the last day of the season. Their reward was getting to play the Eastern Conference's best team during the regular season, that being the Washington Capitals. The Caps disposed of them in 5 games, moving on to face the Carolina Hurricanes in the second round. They were then disposed of by the Canes, similar

Caps Bludgeon Islanders with Little Regard for Mental Well-Being
The Washington Captials showed the New York Islanders what a real hockey team looks like with a commanding win on Sunday. The victory was headlined by a 2 goal performance by Tom Wilson, with one spectacular assist from Ilya Sorokin, and a brace of empty-netters, with one of which of course being bagged by the Great 8. The standout performance of the night however, was the future greatest of all time Ryan Leonard, who recorded a dazzling secondary assist, and worked very very

(TOR @ NYK) Dino Den: Raptors Destroyed in New York
The Raptors got beat bad. Image by Sportsnet. The Raptors came off a tough loss against the Hornets last night, seeing their 9 game winning streak snapped. They were looking to rebound against a good New York Knicks team, who were more rested than Toronto. They lost by 22 points. I'm not going to recap the whole game, mostly because I didn't watch it, and they were beaten so badly. The first quarter couldn't have gone much worse. They couldn't defend if they're life depended

(TOR @ CHA) Dino Den: Winning Streak Over
The Raptors collapse in the fourth quarter and go on to lose in overtime. The Raptors game into Charlotte on a nine-game winning streak to face a pretty bad Hornets team. Considering they play the Knicks tomorrow in New York, they wanted to get this win. With no RJ Barrett however, things were going to be tough. Things started off great in the first quarter. Toronto was strong offensively and built a 13-point lead. They grew that lead to 17 points mid-way through the second,

The Habs guarantee a winning road trip. The Montreal Canadiens were in dire trouble coming off of an 8-4 loss to the Washington Capitals at the Bell Center just over a week ago. They had lost five in a row, and seven of their eight last games. Their goaltending had been atrocious, the defense gave up too many chances, and the offense had dried up. Throw in the injuries piling up, and there was concern in the city. They managed to get it together and beat the feeble Toronto Ma
