The severely shorthanded Lakers team that went 1-5 in the preseason cautiously stepped its way into the regular season only to become just as banged up, but have somehow found much different results by going 3-2 in their first five contests.

As everyone in the hockey world knows, Connor Bedard ‘s entry-level contract expires after the current season.

Earl Weaver died the year that I turned 25. That he died aboard a Caribbean cruise was a source of some amusement for those who’d known him. Though I can no longer find the quote, I recall at least one former player somberly jesting that it was the relaxation that killed the man so uniformly […]

Last night’s game felt a different. Rather than the “here we go again” exhausted, defeated feeli...
