Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 10:15:15 GMT

Colorado (43-23-6) needed overtime in one matchup, a third-period game-winner in another and seven shootout rounds on Sunday. Valeri Nichushkin scored the walk-off winner after Alexandar Georgiev stopped all seven Arizona shootout attempts, allowing Colorado to snag a vital second point after blowing 2-0 and 3-2 leads.With Minnesota and Dallas both idle, the Avs drew even with the Stars in points (92). They are one behind the Wild for the division lead, with a game in hand.Arizona’s top line had already earned Jared Bednar’s respect: The Coyotes have been regarded as a candi...

The university presidents who run the conference have no choice — none, zero, zip — but to invite the Aztecs.That’s probably a good thing for the Pac-12 considering the barrage of bad decisions at the presidential level over the past 10 or 12 years.Remember the time they approved a television network with six regional feeds and declared the commissioner a media executive?Or the time they passed on ESPN’s offer to take over the Pac-12 Networks in exchange for a long-term media rights partnership?In a formal sense, any decision on San Diego State remains in the presidents’ hands — eight of the 10 remaining schools must approve membership additions. (And to be fair, many of the presidents responsible for past blunders are no longer...
