Tired of heaving about Vasilevskiy?

November 17, 2024 general

Saturday, 3 a.m. From the looks of it, Andrei Vasilevskiy still has some winning to do. One game after winning his 300th career game (the fastest in history to do it), Vasilevskiy pitched a shutout of the New Jersey Devils in a 4-0 victory. It was the 36th shutout of his career. Vasilevskiy stopped all […]

November 15, 2024 general

Friday, 4 a.m. So how would you like to win your 300th career hockey game? Well, you can do it faster than anyone ever has. Andrei Vasilevskiy did it in his 490th game, which is 31 games faster than the next-best goalie (Jaques Plante). You can do it at home. You can do after a […]

Bye week comes a good time for Bucs

November 14, 2024 general

Thursday, 4 a.m. A team doesn’t want a bye when it’s on a winning streak. It doesn’t want a bye too early in the season. It doesn’t want a bye when the defense is dominant, or the offense is red hot, or the coach has unlocked his team’s potential. When you’re the Tampa Bay Bucs, […]

Looking back at Bucs’ loss to 49ers

November 12, 2024 general

Tuesday, 4 a.m. 5 Thoughts Good thing the Bucs’ defense wasn’t in charge of closing out World War II. We’d all be speaking German now. 2. With Tristan Wirfs going down, you can’t help but wonder who the best player on the Bucs’ team is. Hint: It isn’t Kyle Trask. 3. Would it be wrong […]

Bucs let another game slip away

November 11, 2024 general

Monday, 4 a.m. Have you heard this one before? The Tampa Bay Bucs played a better opponent, one that played in last season’s Super Bowl, to the wire. They found themselves in a tie late in the game. And they lost. Again. The Bucs lost 23-20 to the San Francisco 49ers Sunday for their fourth […]

Bucs finally hope to slow Purdy

November 9, 2024 general

Saturday, 4 a.m. Consider the unlikeliness of the Brock Purdy story. Consider the trip from irrelevance, from the 262nd pick of the 2022 draft. Consider how he beat out the designated future in Trey Lance. Consider his 21-8 regular season record. Now, consider that his play against the Tampa Bay Bucs has been the most […]

Bolts let another game slip away

November 8, 2024 general

Friday, 4 a.m. Firepower? What firepower? It is early in the season, but already, the Tampa Bay Lightning, an offensive powerhouse for years, seem to have run out of juice. At least, it seemed that way after the Bolts blew a lead and lost 2-1 in overtime to the Philadelphia Flyers for their fourth straight […]

Looking back at Bucs’ loss to Kansas City

November 6, 2024 general

Wednesday, 4 a.m. 5 Thoughts Most of us like to think of ourselves as “go for it” guys. But give me a choice of gaining two yards on one play or stopping Patrick Mahomes on the road, and I’m definitely going for it. 2.  By not covering Travis Kelce, well, at all, were the Bucs […]
