August means NFL pre-season and the final stretch in the pennant races. It means golf's final major, sending kids back to school and getting those last few days in at the pool to drown away the scorching heat.

That means it's up to people like me to lend my insight (or my two cents as some put it) into the upcoming season. E...
You can never win the Stanley Cup in the preseason, but it's certainly possible to take steps backward to relinquish that dream.

After a solid start to the season, his team is now last in goal-scoring in the National Hockey League, and have fallen from a top ...

The Devils are yet to hire a coach.
Most fans and experts say (including Eklund) Michael Therrien will become the coach.
But Ken Hitchcock former Flyer coach is a HIGH possibility as well.

Last we heard reports of an eeeerie presence serenading in the halls of the Key Bank Center and locker room of the Buffalo Sabres....turn out the lights the parties over.
