For veteran Marc-Andre Fleury, no matter what, Las Vegas will feel like home

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:43:16 GMT

LAS VEGAS — Marc-Andre Fleury admittedly didn’t know much about Las Vegas before the Golden Knights selected him in the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft. He remembered traveling to Sin City once prior, with his experience more or less defined by what he saw on The Strip.As time progressed, though, Fleury fell in love with Las Vegas, and maybe more importantly, Las Vegas fell in love with him. He was the face of the Golden Knights during their first season in the NHL as they shocked the world en route to reaching the 2018 Stanley Cup Final.In total, Fleury played 192 games for the Golden Knights before being traded to the Chicago Blackhawks in a move that devastated the fan base. Nowadays, the 38-year-old Fleury is with the Wild, and he was set to be between the pipes on Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.“Only my second time so it’s still a little weird,” said Fleury, who started a game last season in his former home arena. “I have great memori...

Rockies’ Austin Gomber counting on two-seamer to sink opponents

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:43:16 GMT

SAN DIEGO — Austin Gomber is not a grip-it-and-rip-it pitcher. The Rockies’ southpaw utilizes a plus changeup and an effective curveball to confound hitters.But he went into the offseason knowing that he needed to add something new if he wanted to keep hitters honest. So he fiddled with a new grip and started throwing a sinking, two-seam fastball in January. He believes it compliments his four-seamer, which he tends to throw up in the zone.“I felt like hitters were starting to sit on my off-speed stuff, so we thought, how can I make my fastball more effective?” said Gomber, who’ll make his first start of the season on Sunday against the Padres at Petco Park.Last season, when Gomber was relegated to the bullpen for part of the season, his four-seamer was often an ineffective pitch. He threw it 40% of the time but hitters teed off on the pitch, hitting .376.Part of the Nolan Arenado trade with St. Louis before the 2021 season, Gomber was terrific in his f...

FORT COLLINS — At CSU last April, you either sank or swam with Jay Norvell.This April, you belly flop.Officials worked the 11-on-11 portions late in Saturday morning’s practice outside Canvas Stadium. During one red-zone trip, somebody along the Rams offense jumped. A yellow flag shot to the sky like a bottle rocket.PHWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!The scrimmaging … stopped. The talking … stopped. The milling … stopped.A millisecond of uncomfortable, awkward silence hung in the chilly brunch air. Then every CSU player — offense, defense, on the field or on the sidelines — immediately plopped onto their bellies and started doing a quick set of up-downs.“Yeah, we incorporated that, (that if) we have a false start on offense, we started doing up-downs for penalties,” Norvell, the Rams’ second-year coach, explained later. “Just a reminder to concentrate and focus.”If spring 2022 was about the install in FoCo, kids, spring 2023 is about the details. 3-9 te...
