“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.”

Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren has said he favors automatic bids for the champions of the Power Five leagues, instead of the six best champs regardless of conference.

David Lehman explained that the team pursuit event had three rounds, with the first, or semifinals, taking place Sunday, Feb. 13. Out of eight teams that were timed, the USA came in second, after Norway, which set a new Olympic time record. The Russian Olympic Committee and the Netherlands came in third and fourth.
Most of the players for the Czech Republic play in their home country, but there were handful of exceptions in the team’s lineup, including goalkeeper Barbora Votikova, who plays for Paris Saint-Germain, Andrea Staskova, a rising star with Juventus, and West Ham’s Katerina Svitkova.
Whether Greenberg has a realistic shot is anyone’s guess, but Faulkner, whose husband, Colin Faulkner, is executive vice president of sales and marketing with the Cubs, is very familiar with him. Greenberg’s resume doesn’t scream “hire me!” and fans might be upset that the Hawks don’t go with a more traditional candidate. But thinking outside the box isn’t all that unusual in hockey circles.
But this was the sort of run Gu visualized all along — a nice, relaxed jaunt as the last competitor and with the contest sealed. She had fun with her victory run, too, going big off the walls one last time and bending back her skis — a high-flying, picture-perfect moment to culminate another successful day at her office.
