Stars' Jake Oettinger flashes resilience — and glove hand — in bounce-back victory
DALLAS — If you didn’t know any better, you might think Jake Oettinger just didn’t care.His voice is never pitched, his demeanor never animated. He sits at his locker after morning skates and casually discusses hockey, golf, the human condition — whatever you can throw at him — while nearly every other goalie in the league insists they can’t be bothered on game days, because they’re too mentally locked in on the game (you know, the one that doesn’t start for nine more hours).Advertisement

Hinch had to reassure Dingler that he was very much in the club’s plans.Advertisement
Blues report card: Final grades for the defensemen, goalies, coach and GM
ST. LOUIS — At the beginning of the 2025-26 season, the St. Louis Blues’ defense and goaltending were stunningly bad. In mid-November, the club had the worst goals-against average in the NHL (3.84).Coach Jim Montgomery switched from a zone defense to man-to-man coverage, and the Blues tightened up in their own zone. From Nov. 16 on, they had the ninth-best GAA in the league (2.87) and goalie Joel Hofer’s save percentage was 52 points higher (.867 to .919).The recovery was good to see, but w...
NASCAR's Kyle Busch says he wants to beat competition 'into the ground,' does not make friends with drivers
Kyle Busch said life on the NASCAR circuit can feel like a "traveling trailer park," but that doesn't mean he feels neighborly toward his fellow drivers. They are his competition, not his friends, he said on "Hang Out With Sean Hannity."Busch said he spent a lot of time around other NASCAR drivers as they moved from one race to the next."We're a traveling circus... or a traveling trailer park, whichever you want to call it, because we're in the same motor home lot every single weekend," he told...

What Denver Broncos' draft history with George Paton could say about team's 2026 plans
George Paton is entering the final season of a six-year deal he signed to become the general manager of the Denver Broncos in 2021.

Wild can't let emotions cost them in what could be a classic series with Stars
DALLAS — First of all, this is already one heck of a series.It’s the kind of knock-down, drag-out, fight-for-every-freaking-inch series that everyone expected when two of the league’s best teams and division rivals meet in the first round. There are plenty of stars, and there may also be a few scars by the end.Let’s play seven. Or nine (if they could).The question is, would there be any players left?

Anton Frondell was 9 years old back then.Advertisement
