Dear Amy: We live in a wonderful neighborhood. One day, very unexpectedly, my husband went into the hospital. I was alone with our three young children. I was able to secure a babysitter for our older two, and I reached out to a few of our neighbors for help with our infant.

“I’ll take it. I’ll take a lot of those games,” Hawks coach Derek King said about the loss, which looked a far cry better than the 7-4 defeat Thursday to the Columbus Blue Jackets. “Obviously our guys aren’t happy about that because they want to score goals, but that’s a really good hockey team, and we took them to the end.

Petrucelli, 59, joins the Red Stars from Southern Methodist University, where he was the women’s soccer coach for nine seasons. He previously held the same position with Notre Dame, leading the Irish to an NCAA championship in 1995, and Texas and has served as a youth national team coach for U.S. Soccer. He compiled a 427-182-54 record in the college ranks.

“We’ll play it day by day,” King said. “There’s a lot of uncertainty, right? You have trade deadline coming up, you have a bunch of stuff happening. We’re not going to veer off what we’ve planned on doing earlier, which is making sure he’s right and ready to go. They’ve done a good job of that, keeping him down there, letting him play and getting his reps and minutes.”

“I can’t have my arm there at that time,” Dosunmu said. “A great offensive player in the playoffs, when they see that, that’s a quick file, they’ll just swipe through. Chris Paul does it a lot, James Harden, those guys. So (Caruso) was telling me to keep my hands down and get in my stance and get there early. Don’t react but be ready to play right away.”
