Here’s what you want to know now about world sport:
As if we weren’t envious enough of their climate right now, they’re also the two positions in professional sport. Tampa Bay Lightning won the Stanley Cup three weeks ago and last Sunday, the Los Angeles Lakers earned their twelfth name since the franchise moved out. Southern California in 1960.
Now, one of them is about to win a baseball championship after the Los Angeles Dodgers and Tampa Bay Rays won World Series spots this weekend. The Rays escaped a historic collapse in the American League Championship Series with Saturday’s 4-2 win over Houston. , which recovered from a deficit of three to zero to force the decisive game 7. Last night, the Dodgers finished their retiro. de 3-1 in the National League Championship Series with a 4-3 win in Game 7 against Atlanta.
The Dodgers and Rays will now face off in an unusual, neutral, viewer-only Fall Classic that will begin Tuesday night in Arlington, Texas. With LAet Tampa Bay already gained a pandemic name in an isolated environment, the World Series winner can be called King of Bubbles Hey, bigger than the Queen of Ashes.
For now, however, we will give Tampa Bay a slight credit for North American sports supremacy because it does so a little more in football. Tom Brady and the Buccaneers eliminated the undefeated Green Bay to improve to 4-2 and strengthen their control over the most sensitive. place in his apartment. The Chargers still have a 4-2 record, however, their 4 wins came here in opposition to the NFC East groups, a departmental line with a combined record of 5-17-1.
Famous hockey announcer Mike “Doc” Emrick has retired. The American reaction to Bob Cole is more productive, known for his more recent paintings as NBC’s main player in the NHL. The 74-year-old, who called in 22 Stanley Cup Finals and also spent 21 seasons as the voice of the New Jersey Devils, began his hockey media career 50 years ago when he returned from a game count at the old Civic Arena in Pittsburgh. As Emrick pointed out in a farewell video posted today via NBC Sports, this when there were only 14 NHL teams, the scoreboard clocks hadn’t even gone virtual and Gordie Howe, Bobthrough Hull and Bobthrough Orr were still playing. Hull and Howe now have sons in the Hockey Hall of Fame and Emrick revered throughout the establishment in 2008 with his Foster Hewitt Memorial Award for his remarkable contributions to the spread of hockey. Like Cole, who also closed it after 50 years in 2019, Emrick brought a unique voice to his calls. Cole had the smoothest-sounding flutes and just the right touch of folklore. Emrick’s business card is his descriptive language. For him, a player doesn’t just pass the puck. He pressed. It crushed. I spanked him. Ladle. Pitchforké. As this 2018 piece by NPR’s Victoria Whitley-Berry points out, one fan has already recorded 153 tactics that Emrick described how the puck moved. In a match.

Chase Claypool had another smart game. A few days after ungirlo, potentially Canada’s biggest NFL player after a four-touchdown performance, the Steelers’ rookie has moved away from the Buzzer spell by betting another TD and making four receptions for a 74-yard run in yesterday’s 38-7 explosion. . Cleveland. Pittsburgh (5-0) is one of three undefeated players in the NFL, and Claypool leads the team in yards per reception (his 335 put him well ahead of veteran JuJu Smith-Schuster’s 194). Speaking of Canadian Smart Team Receivers Alabama sophomore John Metchie III scored his third TD catch of the season in Crimson Tide’s 41-24 victory over Georgia, which came in third place on Saturday.
A Canadian golfer (technically) won one time on the PGA Tour. Yes, Jason Kokrak was born in North Bay, Ontario, 35 years ago, but only because his Canadian mother was visiting at the time. The circle of relatives returned home. America a short time later. So, aside from perhaps a nod to our fitness care/service system, it’s hard for Canadians to take credits for the Kokrak CJ Cup tournament yesterday. i-ers Champions Tour while Mike Weir ended at the time Phil Mickelson. Both boys have recently turned 50 and supposedly enjoy the weakest festival on the circuit of 50 and over.
In 1957, Maurice Richard was the first NHL player to score 500 goals in the regular season.
The Rocket has done it in 863 games, the ninth fastest ever. Only Wayne Gretzky (575 games, hehe), Mario Lemieux (605), Mike Bossy (647), Brett Hull (693), Alex Ovechkin (801), Phil Esposito (803), Jari Kurri (833) and Bobby Hull (861)) were faster.
The 500-goal club has lately had forty-five members. Only two remain active in the NHL: Ovechkin (who is eighth of all time with 706) and Patrick Marleau (25th with 562). The closest to joining the next is Sidney Crosby, who is 462.
