Notre Dame Baseball: Irish get the No. 10 Seed in ACC Tournament

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish had an up and down baseball season, but did manage to win 11 of its last 12 games of the season — which was the best record in the country during that time. Notre Dame’s overall record of 30-21 and 13—17 in the ACC isn’t great — but it’s respectable. […]

Danny Briere weighs in on Matvei Michkov playing right or left wing

One of the main sticking points for those critical of Philadelphia Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet’s use and deployment of young winger Matvei Michkov, is keeping him on the side of the ice that he has grown up playing and has the most experience with. As a left-handed player, Michkov still played on the right side while developing his game in Russia, and barely ever touched the “strong” side of the ice that matched up with his handedness. But Tocchet decided that when Michkov was struggli...

Canadiens vs. Sabres Top Six Minutes: A 3-1 lead becomes an 8-3 loss for Montreal in Game 6

Lindy Ruff had one line going in this series, and has tossed that into the blender for this game with the others trying to spark two players who aren’t going. We’ll see how that works out. First period It’s a very familiar refrain at this point. A weak clearing attempt by the top line — Juraj Slafkovský tonight rather than Cole Caufield — allows the Buffalo Sabres to stay on the attack, and they take advantage with a quick goal. Rasmus Dahlin dekes his way to the net and beats Ja...
