Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:44:35 GMT

The rematch was 48 hours in the making after the Wild dropped what they felt was a winnable game to the Vegas Golden Knights over the weekend.In the end, though, the Wild suffered a 4-3 shootout loss to the Golden Knights, which, in turn, is going to make winning the Western Conference incredibly tough.With the result, the Wild (44-23-10, 98 points) are now five points back of the Golden Knights (48-22-7, 103 points) with a week and a half to go.It was a slow start for the Wild as they lacked energy in the first period, culminating with Golden Knights winger Keegan Kolesar making it 1-0.Not long after that, Matt Boldy absorbed a reckless hit from Golden Knights winger Brett Howden along the boards, and Joel Eriksson Ek immediately rushed to his defense.Though the Wild ended up on the penalty kill, the sequence seemed to pull them into the fight.That poured over into the second period and Brandon Duhaime promptly tied the game at 1-1 with a nice individual effort.

A basketball game with 10 Tim Duncans would be friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, and reverent. Also, boring as holy heck.Give me personalities. Give me a Patrick Beverley. Give me a Xavier McDaniel, a Charles Barkley or a John Starks. Give me a Bill Laimbeer. Give me somebody to boo.So you be you, Angel Reese. You, too, Caitlin Clark. Talk as much trash as you like. Wherever you like. Whenever you like.“If I scored a 3-pointer, I’m not raising three fingers in the air as I’m running back,” Jane Wahl, the trailblazing first women’s basketball coach in CU history, told me Monday from her home in Nebraska. “But I’m not that level of athlete, either.”LSU and Iowa played for the NCAA women’s basketball title Sunday, and folks were still talking about it Monday.

We’ve made the plays behind them, swung the bats and had very competitive at-bats,” Baldelli said. “I like what I’m seeing all around the field. But it starts with the starting pitching. The starting pitching has probably been the biggest face of what we’ve done so far in this very short season.”Max Kepler hit a leadoff homer and Joey Gallo added a three-run shot to help Minnesota remain unbeaten.Trevor Larnach also went deep and Tyler Mahle pitched five solid innings for the Twins, who swept the Royals last weekend and are 4-0 for the ninth time in franchise history.
