Wild snap franchise-best point streak with loss to Bruins

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 11:04:34 GMT

On paper, the Wild were always going to struggle in this particular game against the Boston Bruins.In a matchup with the NHL’s best team, the Wild were without their best player (Kirill Kaprizov), arguably their best defenseman (Jonas Brodin), a top pair defenseman (Jake Middleton), and their alternate captain (Marcus Foligno), among others.In the end, that proved too much to overcome as the Wild fell 5-2 to the Bruins on Saturday afternoon at Xcel Energy Center. That snapped their franchise-best point streak at 14 games.No doubt the most frustrating part of the game is that that Wild probably felt they deserved a better fate. Not only did they battle tooth and nail for 60 minutes, they had a pair of goals wiped off the board on offside calls. That overshadowed an otherwise impressive effort given the circumstances.After an aggressive start to the game, Marcus Johansson made it 1-0 in favor of the Wild, finishing off a tic-tac-toe passing sequence. He started the rush into the...

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 11:04:34 GMT

Much has been made about the new rules changes and the affect they’ll have on the game moving forward. But it’s not just the rules that are changing this year. Beginning this spring, Major League Baseball has introduced a balanced schedule in all 30 teams will play one another.“I think it should have always been that way,” shortstop Carlos Correa said. “Some divisions are tougher than other ones, and if you have everyone playing everyone, then it evens out a little more. So, yeah, I like it.”For the Twins, that means more games against National League opponents and fewer against American League Central rivals Cleveland, Detroit, Kansas City and the Chicago White Sox. Instead of playing 19 division games against each opponents, the Twins will play those four teams 13 times each.Only AL Central finished last season above .500, the Guardians, which means the Twins’ scheduled might be getting more difficult.“I think every year there’s a lot been made of maybe certain divisions fee...

March Madness at Ball Arena: Previewing the second round matchups in Denver

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 11:04:34 GMT

A look at the second-round NCAA Tournament matchups set for Sunday night inside Ball Arena.No. 6 Creighton (22-12) vs. No. 3 Baylor (23-10)Time/TV: 5:10 p.m., TBSBetting line/over-under: Baylor -1.5, 145.5What Creighton wants to do: The Bluejays endured some tense moments in the second half of their first-round matchup with N.C. State, largely due to their inability to hit from outside (3 of 20 from 3). That must change if they are to keep pace with a Baylor offense that’s among the best in the nation.Creighton has a distinct advantage in the paint with Ryan Kalkbrenner coming off a career-high 31 points and three blocks. But if the Jays’ guards aren’t hitting from deep — guards Ryan Nemhard, Trey Alexander and Baylor Scheierman were 2 of 15 vs. N.C. State  — Baylor can make it difficult for the 7-foot-1 big man to get the ball where he can finish.Defensively, the objective is equal parts simple and extremely difficult to accomplish: Run Baylor’s talent...
