NHL:
MATT BOLDY HAD A HAT TRICK BY THE 13 MINUTE MARK OF THE FIRST PERIOD, BUT THAT DOES NOTMEAN IT WAS EASY FOR MINNESOTA LAST NIGHT. THE NASHVILLE PREDATORS SCORED THREE FIRST PERIOD GOALS OF THEIR OWN, AND THE GAME WOULD EVENTUALLY END UP IN OVERTIME. JARED SPURGEON WOULD GET THE GAME WINNER FOR THE WILD WITH UNDER A MINUTE TO PLAY. WILD 6, PREDATORS 5.
THE LA KINGS HAVE ADDED A BIG GUN, GETTING ARTEMI PANARIN FROM THE NEW YORK RANGERS, AND THE KINGS THEN GAVE HIM A TWO YEAR EXTENSION. THE RANGERS GOT A HIGH LEVEL PROSPECT AND DRAFT PICKS.
THE DEVILS GOT NICK BJUGSTAD IN A DEAL WITH ST LOUIS.
THE EXPECTED #1 OVERALL DRAFT PICK IN THIS SUMMER’S NHL DRAFT HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH AGGRAVATED ASSAULT AND OTHER CHARGES. THAT IS GAVIN MCKENNA, A FORWARD AT PENN STATE. DETAILS ARE SCARE, BUT REPORTEDLY HAPPENED ON THE SAME DATE WHEN PENN STATE WAS HOSTING THE LARGE SCALE OUTDOOR HOCKEY GAME AT BEAVER STADIUM ONJANUARY 31.
NBA:
THE TIMBERWOLVES SURGED IN THE 4TH QUARTER TO SNATCH AWAY VICTORY FROM TORONTO 128-126.
IN A MATCHUP OF HEAVYWEIGHTS, THE NEW YORK KNICKS BEAT DENVER IN DOUBLE OVERTIME. SAN ANTONIO PREVAILED OVER OKLAHOMA CITY.
COUPLE OF TRADES… KRISTAPS PORZINGAS IS NOW A GOLDEN STATE WARRIOR. HE COMES OVER FROM ATLANTA. THE WARRIORS WERE SUPPOSEDLY IN ON GIANNAS ANTEKUMPO, BUT THIS WOULD SEEMINGLY KILL THAT.
THE DALLAS MAVERICKS HAVE OVERHAULED TINGS ONCE AGAIN, TRADING AWAY ANTHONY DAVIS TO THE WASHINGTON WIZARDS. THERE ARE THREE OTHER PLAYERS GOING TO WASHINGTON, AND THE MAVERICKS ARE GETTING FOUR PLAYERS IN RETURN, BUT 34-YEAR OLD KHRIS MIDDLETON MIGHT BE THE BEST OF THEM.
OLYMPICS:
CANADIAN SNOWBOARDER MARK MCMORRIS HAD TO BE STRETCHERED OFF AFTER CRASHING DURING BIG AIR TRAINING, WAS HOSPITALIZED BUT HAS REPORTELDY BEEN RELEASED. HE IS A THREE TIME BRONZE MEDALIST AND IS HOPEFUL FOR MORE DURING THESE GAMES. HIS ABILITY TO TAKE PART IS UNCLEAR AT HTIS TIME.
MLB:
THE DETROIT TIGERS HAVE MADE A SPLASH IN FREE AGENCY, SIGNING STARTING PITCHER FRAMBER VALDEZ TO A THREE YEAR DEAL, $115 MILLION. REGARDED AS THE BEST LEFT HANDED PITCHER ON THE MARKET, HE COMES OVER AFTER YEARS IN HOUSTON.
NCAAM:
THE MINNESOTA GOPHERS CAME AWAY WITH A BIG UPSET WIN AT WILLIAMS ARENA, BEATING #10 MICHIGAN STATE 76-73.
PERHAPS A BIGGER UPSET THOUGH WAS #6 GONZAGA, LOSING THEIR 2ND GAME OF THE SEASON, TO PORTLAND 87-80.
