Published Thu, 13 Feb 2025 21:35:16 GMT

With five members of last season’s Gophers men’s hockey team currently playing in the NHL, there were going to be new sources of offense needed if they were to make a run at a third consecutive Big Ten title.Logan Cooley’s decision to become an Arizona Coyote in late July meant that coach Bob Motzko needed another forward. And the call he made to Jimmy Clark, telling the Edina kid to come to campus rather than spend another season in the USHL is paying notable dividends already.On Sunday afternoon, Clark’s overtime winner lifted Minnesota to a 6-5 win over Michigan State in the finale of their weekend series. The victory thwarted a furious comeback by the Spartans, who trailed by a pair in the final minutes of regulation, but scored twice to force the extra session.Bryce Brodzinski scored twice and added a pair of assists as the Gophers improved to 7-4-3 overall and 3-3-2 in the Big Ten. Rhett Pitlick, Connor Kurth and Ryan Chesley also scored for the Gophers, who got 41 saves...

Draymond Green doesn’t regret Rudy Gobert headlock, says NBA’s special punishment is unfair

Published Thu, 13 Feb 2025 21:35:16 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — Draymond Green defended his headlock of Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert last week that earned him an ejection and five-game suspension, which expired in time for the Warriors’ in-season tournament game against the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday.The league suspension came with a note that severity was “based in part on Green’s history of unsportsmanlike acts,” a clause Green argues is unfair, referencing the retroactive one-game suspension he earned for an entanglement with LeBron James in the 2016 NBA Finals. The league implemented the Green-specific rule after he stepped on Kings’ Domantas Sabonis’ chest escaping his grasp during last season’s playoff series.“To continue saying, ‘Oh, what he did in the past..’ I paid for those,” Green said after Warriors practice on Sunday. “I got suspended for Game 5 of the Finals. So you can’t keep suspending me for those actions.“They’ve made it clear that t...
