LSU was instrumental in preparing me for the WNBA and I can’t wait to hit the court in front…
EDMONTON — Following their 3-2 shootout win over the Edmonton Oilers at Rogers Place on Thursday night, the Detroit Red Wings finished the month of January with a 10-3-1 record and a four-game winning streak, marking the first time since January 2012 that the club has won 10 games in a calendar month.

The Detroit Red Wings keep paving their new coach’s road map with victories. Since Todd McLellan arrived Dec. 26, the Wings have gone 7-1, most recently rattling off a seventh straight victory in dispatching the Seattle Kraken, 6-2, Sunday at Little Caesars Arena. There may not be a player for whom that is more gratifying than captain Dylan Larkin, whose body language entering the Christmas break showed every bit of how bleak things had gotten. Earlier in the season, I kept saying that I believe that there’s more in that locker room,” Larkin said. “Unfortunately it took a coaching…
The Detroit Red Wings may have found the superstar they desperately needed in right-winger Lucas Raymond. The Gothenburg, Sweden native was drafted by the Red Wings with the fourth overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft. Alexis Lafrenière was the presumed number one overall pick the entire season before the draft. Lafrenière would be drafted by the New York Rangers number one overall. The question is whether Raymond can lead the Red Wings to their first Stanley Cup playoff appearance in eight seasons. Keep in mind that Raymond is only 22 years old. Playing in 60 fewer games throughout…
Their former head coach is wary of them. And Todd McLellan should be, having lost to the dynamic Edmonton Oilers duo of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl in the playoffs two of the last three seasons. McLellan’s team, the Detroit Red Wings, are the next opponent on the Oilers’ slate Thursday (7 p.m.) at Rogers Place. The Red Wings (24-21-5) have thrived under McLellan, going 11-4-1 since he was hired Dec. 26 to replace Derek Lalonde. The 57-year-old was once head coach of the Oilers, hired a month before they drafted McDavid with the top pick in the 2015 NHL…
Former Oilers head coach McLellan completes career circle back behind Detroit bench So when Steve Yzerman called former Detroit assistant coach Todd McLellan a month ago, looking to make a head coaching change behind the Wings bench, replacing Derek Lalonde, the unemployed McLellan was all ears. Just as Ken Hitchcock has always been, with all of his NHL assignments. Completing the circle? You bet for McLellan, who started with the Wings 20 years ago before leaving for his first head job with San Jose in 2008, moved to the Oilers in 2015, then on to Los Angeles in 2019, before…
The Ole Miss Rebels and Mississippi State Bulldogs have met in some historic matchups, but this year, the two squads are on opposite ends of the spectrum. State has had a disappointing season in Jeff Lebby’s first year at the helm as the Bulldogs are winless in SEC play and winless against Power Four opponents. The Rebels, on the other hand, are in need of a statement win and some help. The CFP Rankings will be released on Tuesday night, so we should see where Ole Miss stands and their path back into the 12-team field. Before that revelation, however,…
South Carolina Gamecock TJ Sanders Included in Daniel Jeremiah’s Top 50 Prospects South Carolina defensive lineman TJ Sanders was included in Daniel Jeremiah’s top 50 NFL prospects list. South Carolina defensive lineman TJ Sanders was included in Daniel Jeremiah’s top 50 NFL prospects list. While most of the attention around South Carolina was centered around the offense and what LaNorris Sellers was doing at quarterback, the defense was a big part as well. The Gamecocks had playmakers at all three levels of the defense, and one that flashed upfront was defensive tackle TJ Sanders. Sanders is now off to the…
Star Quarterback for Clemson Tigers Hopes to Raise Draft Stock in Fourth Year Will Cade Klubnik be able to raise his draft stock with another good season for the Clemson Tigers? The Clemson Tigers wrapped up 2024 with a solid campaign and will be looking to build on that success in 2025.

As the year progressed, the Tigers emerged as one of the best offensive teams…
