Wild’s Jonas Brodin week to week after reckless hit by Evander Kane

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 01:04:10 GMT

The Wild won’t exactly limp into Sunday’s game at Seattle, the last in a four-game road trip that already has taken them through Western Canada. But they’ll do so after being reminded that in some ways, they’re still the team that lost 11 of 13 games and got their head coach fired.Under John Hynes, the Wild found a new lease on life, another gear and a tweaked system that plays to their strengths, and it all showed during an impressive, four-game winning streak. The Wild outscored their opponents 18-5 overall, 9-1 in the first period, and never trailed.That changed in a 2-0 loss at Vancouver, the team’s first shutout loss of the season, and in Friday night’s 4-3 loss in Edmonton to the streaking Oilers.“We weren’t going to win all games to the end, right?” goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury said after making a season-high 36 saves against the Oilers. “Still need to progress, still need to learn from our mistakes and still need to get better and do John’s systems and thoughts.”A serious is...

Kickin’ It with Kiz: Why Heisman voters get it wrong and best candidates for MVP of NFL can’t win

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 01:04:10 GMT

I really hate the Heisman Trophy race has become a popularity contest among players that get the most attention. Some of the best players in college football play defense, but you never hear about them.Ron, free thinkerKiz: As a kid who first fell in love with sports through college football, I’m a guy that loves voting for the Heisman Trophy. But it frustrates me that being a quarterback is now almost a prerequisite for winning the award. In years past, I have voted for dominant defenders such as Will Anderson Jr. and Ndamukong Suh. While I think quarterback Jayden Daniels of Louisiana State is an intriguing NFL prospect who might look good in a Broncos uniform, the only finalist for this year’s award I seriously considered putting anywhere on my three ballot slots was Michael Penix Jr., whose transfer to Washington after an injury-plagued career at Indiana struck me as a near-perfect fit for the story of college football in 2023.With the instant media coverage of sport...
