The Golden Knights, making their third semifinal appearance in four seasons of existence, fell short of returning to the championship round since their inaugural campaign in 2018, when they lost to the Washington Capitals in five games. They were undone by a sputtering offense that managed only nine goals against the Canadiens after a 4-1 series-opening win and an anemic power play that went 0-of-17.

“I don’t think it’s a mystery, you need to read between the fine lines,” Pippen told GQ. “It was my first year playing without Michael Jordan, why wouldn’t I be taking that last shot? I been through all the ups and downs, the battles with the Pistons and now you gonna insult me and tell me to take it out? I thought it was a pretty low blow.”

“It is safe to say that the company is very pleased with the results and they’re on board,” Parkins said. “We all agreed to take a week or so to just let it marinate and sizzle and we’ll debrief what we did right, what we did wrong, But yeah, it’s safe to say The Score and Audacy are on board for ‘What About Chicago 2.’”

Lynn, acquired in the offseason in a trade with the Texas Rangers, recorded the first complete game in a Sox home opener since Britt Burns on April 19, 1985, against the Boston Red Sox and the first shutout since Wilbur Wood on April 9, 1976, against the Royals.

One day during the 2015 season, Johnson recalled coming into the CareerBuilder office and, like usual, the chatter centered on the Cubs. At one point, Johnson commented that “Jake Arrieta is good at baseball,” which his colleagues found funny given the understatement — Arrieta was in the process of producing one of the greatest seasons by a Cubs starting pitcher. By the end of 2015, Arrieta compiled a 1.77 ERA, 22 wins, a 0.865 WHIP, 229 innings pitched, a 215 ERA+ and 8.3 Wins Above Replacement (WAR) in 33 starts en route to winning the National League Cy Young Award.

“Guys are going in to compete, and when the team struggles, it’s because guys are trying to do too much,” Iapoce said. “We’ve seen some pretty good signs (of a rebound). … Guys are getting on base, starting to mix in some singles without Nico (Hoerner) and (Matt) Duffy, who are a tremendous part of that lineup. You’re starting to see signs here and there.”

Authorities said least eight people were injured and at least 225 structures were damaged, many severely, from a tornado that tore through Naperville, Woodridge and Darien late Sunday. Meteorologists said the damage was consistent with an EF-3 tornado on the Enhanced Fujita scale, meaning it had wind speeds of 136 to 165 mph. “We suspect it was one tornado,” said Matt Friedlein, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. “We don’t know that for certain, but based on the nature of the information and what we know about the character of this event, that’s what we’re leaning toward.”The weather service said it was the first significant tornado to hit the Chicago metropolitan area since 2015, when an EF-3 tornado ravaged Coal City, about 60 miles southwest of the city.On the ground, signs of the tornado’s might were everywhere. A fence post was driven through a roof like a javelin. A backyard trampoline, metal frame and all, was wrapped around the branches of a tall tree. One car was flipped on its roof, while another nearby was so damaged it looked as though it had been bombed.The tornado sirens began blaring in DuPage County at 10:48 p.m. Sunday, according to Woodridge police. The National Weather Service said emergency alerts also screeched on mobile devices in Naperville, Darien and Woodridge, with the goal of waking any sleepers.When the tornado formed, it first hit Naperville about 11:10 p.m., in the area just south of 75th Street and Ranchview Drive in the southeast section of the town, according to Linda LaCloche, spokeswoman for the Naperville city manager’s office. Sixteen homes were deemed uninhabitable by city engineers, she said.At least 125 damage reports came from Naperville alone, Schultz said.
