John Shipley: Wild still struggling with the whole play-two-goalies thing

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:56:45 GMT

The Wild can’t seem to get this whole play-two-goalies thing right.Given the opportunity to use the two goalies who split time down the stretch last season, the Wild decided to use Marc-Andre Fleury for five playoff games before throwing Cam Talbot to the sharks for a futile, series-clinching Game 6 loss to St. Louis.On Wednesday, Wild coach Dean Evason made good on an implicit vow to use two goaltenders this postseason and sent Fleury out for Game 2 in Dallas after starting Filip Gustavsson in Game 1, a 3-2 victory in double overtime Monday.Gustavsson made a franchise postseason-record 51 saves in that win.While it’s silly to think any of us know more about hockey than Evason, his staff or general manager Bill Guerin, almost all of us can recognize a man about to step on the wrong end of a rake.How hard is this?As soon as it was reported via social media that Fleury was leading the Wild onto the ice for another late start at American Airlines Center on Wednesday, the palms of Wild ...

His RBI count is second-best in the National League, only trailing Atlanta Braves first baseman Matt Olson. "I'm just trying to put the ball in play.

Opinion: Denver’s Board of Education ignored safety concerns before East High School shooting and should resign

In November of 2021, Austin Lyle was arrested and charged in juvenile court for possession of an AR-15-style weapon and high-capacity magazine. A month earlier Denver’s board of education finalized a substantial revision of their discipline matrix so that possession of a dangerous weapon outside school grounds no longer resulted in a mandatory expulsion.Fourteen months later these events would collide.In January 2023, still on probation and expelled from a neighboring school district, Lyle’s transfer to East High was approved by Denver Public Schools, contingent on a daily “pat-down” for weapons.On March 22nd Austin Lyle shot Jerald Mason and Eric Sinclair, school administrators assigned to pat him down. As police sirens echoed, East’s students and teachers — for the fourth time this school year – locked classroom doors, turned off lights, and waited. Outside, parents gathered by police barricades praying for the safety of their children.Considering DPS policy, prayer seems an...
