LIVE reacting to Gaethje vs Pimblett at UFC 324. Real-time breakdown, betting logic, eye pokes, low blows, terrible fight IQ, insane durability, and why Over 4.5 was always the play. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiEp...

A tight semifinal shaped by patience, compressed space, and late execution for Czechia, where the thinnest of margins are what told the final, but familiar story. sparkedsports.ca/2026/01/05/c...

Panic. Anger. Moralizing. A rush to explain the loss not in terms of how the game was played, but in terms of what it supposedly meant for "Canada." An update. sparkedsports.ca/2026/01/05/c...

Before kickoff, a priest was spotted blessing the Pittsburgh Steelers in the end zone at Acrisure Stadium. The Baltimore Ravens' season-ending missed kick happened on that same side of the field.

Oh, Canada.

It's hilarious to see grown men who need an excuse to have pride in their country, have a childish hissy fit because their hockey team lost a hockey game to a better hockey team. This is Canadian culture. Entitlement, or fragility.

Since 2022, Czechia is 5–0 as an underdog at the World Juniors, and 4 of those wins came vs Canada.

The World Juniors stopped being a coronation and became a competition, exposing how Canadian hockey fandom confuses comfort, dominance, and tradition. sparkedsports.ca/2025/12/29/c...

Fade Canada in regulation since 2023: 6–24, +17 units. Canada lost 6 times in regulation. 4 of those 6 losses were to Czechia.

Even my 65 year old, most team Canada homer there is father says he's never seen that.

When has there ever been a penalty shot, RESHOT!? Good god, they're trying to give this to Canada so badly.

Czechia up 2–1 past halfway, outshooting Canada 12–6, leading attacks, already converted the PP… yet priced as a +105 underdog. Live odds are respecting Canada’s name, not the game state.

I'm no hockey expert, but I'm pretty sure you're not allowed to cross-check the goalie. Even if you get pushed. @tsnofficial.bsky.social Get a goalie on that panel of pylons. Good god.

we're so back!

2026 brings great possibilities.

welp.

The last time Alabama lost by 30+ points was September 26, 1998. Ironically, against Arkansas.

HABS YEAR!?

Noooo!!!! our beautiful boy. I'd rather stream stayyyed not working!!!

Intermission check at #RIZIN師走の超強者祭り Favorites are 5–2 (+0.3u), unders sit 4–3 (+0.82u). Clean reads so far, still plenty of variance ahead.

Ando vs. Fukuda is a wagon!

The scoreline masked a tight game in Davos, where Canada fell late to Sparta Praha after two scoreless periods, and a decisive third-period response ended Canada's Spengler Cup run. sparkedsports.ca/2025/12/29/c...

Canadian hockey fans crying about Canada going 2-0 in the World Juniors with two tough games against tough opponents are telling on themselves, considering the fact that Canada lost and was eliminated by Denmark in the 2025 World Hockey Championships. sparkedsports.ca/2025/05/23/e...

Michael Hage looking absolutely Nick Suzuki-ish here, with a great mix of high hockey IQ, skill and timing.

Canada has gone to OVERTIME a total of 5 times in the last four World Juniors. If you blindly bet $10 on the regulation draw in every Team Canada game in that stretch, you’d be up +$420.20 despite losing 81% of bets.

Michael Hage ends the scare for Canada in OT. After Latvia’s late equalizer, Canada finally gets a clean look, Hage finds soft ice and snaps it home for the 2-1 OT win. 🇨🇦 #WorldJuniors

Rudolfs Berzkalns battles to a loose puck, kicks it off his own stick and in, and Latvia ties it 1–1 with under two minutes left. Nightmare moment for Canada. All effort, all belief, for Latvia. 🇱🇻 #WorldJuniors

Through 36 games, the Leafs show poor late-game control, frequent multi-goal losses, and no stable identity. They struggle at home, fail as favourites or underdogs, can’t impose structure, and the betting market has nearly written off their playoff chances.

Our guy Frankie Corrado calling the Klaucans illegal check to the head on Zayne Parekh “one of the worst calls ever.” Wild. I didn’t know Frankie was Latvian.

After 40 minutes, Canada leads Latvia 1-0 in a grind. Scoreless first, tight 5v5, then discipline cracks it open. Klaucans takes a 5+10 for an illegal head check and Cole Reschny converts on the power play. Going to be a tight third period.

Cole Reschny buries the power-play goal. One mistake, instant leverage for Canada. 1-0.

The Leafs changed assistant coaches instead of their identity, and the market responded by keeping them volatile, mispriced, and difficult to trust night to night. Here's Why Firing Marc Savard Won’t Fix the Leafs sparkedsports.ca/2025/12/27/w...

Border friction, political unease, new entry rules and rising costs kept Canadians home. The half-empty arena at Canada’s World Junior opener in Minnesota reveals how border policy and perception now shape hockey crowds more than rivalries or schedules. sparkedsports.ca/2025/12/27/w...

Canada’s 7–5 opener looked reassuring, but recent World Juniors show a clear pattern: beating Czechia once rarely settles anything, and rematches rarely end well. sparkedsports.ca/2025/12/27/c...

If you’re Team Canada at the World Juniors, the nightmare scenario is not playing a good Team USA. It’s playing the same opponent twice, especially when that opponent is Czechia. Canada has not beaten Czechia twice in the same World Juniors since the 2022 mid-summer tournament.

Porter Martone seals it with the empty-netter 🏒🔥 7–5 #TeamCanada 🇨🇦 That finally gives Canada a two-goal win over Czechia, something they hadn’t managed at the World Juniors since 2022.

Tomas Galvas drags Czechia right back into it 🇨🇿🔥 Defenseman jumps the rush, gets the feed, and buries it. Assists to Vaclav Nestrasil and Vojtech Cihar. CAN 6 – CZE 5 The Czechs haven’t lost to Canada by 2+ at World Juniors since Aug. 19, 2022.

Michael Hage keeps piling it up. Second assist of the night on Ethan MacKenzie’s goal gives him 3 points, and Canada finally gets some separation. 6–4 Canada. First 2-goal lead at the World Juniors since Dec. 29 last year vs Germany.

Absolute chaos at 3M Arena 🤠🔥 Tij Iginla answers immediately with a snipe from the high slot. No breathing room in this one. 5–4 Canada 🇨🇦

The Czechs are live again 🇨🇿🔥 Tomas Poletin buries one after a monster shift from Tomas Galvas. Tie game. Again. 4–4. #WorldJuniors
