Golden Knights back to work after Stanley Cup win and short offseason

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:06:04 GMT

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Vegas Golden Knights went from hoisting the Stanley Cup, to a victory parade on the Strip, to a summer of celebrating, to now getting down to the business of playing hockey again.A short offseason is a good problem to have, but still an issue.“That’s part of why some teams maybe have trouble going back to back with the championships,” general manager Kelly McCrimmon said Thursday as the team opened training camp. “There’s tremendous energy and excitement around our team right now. I’ve always felt that if you play until the end and you win, you don’t mind that short summer. If you play to the end and you lose in the final, then the summer does seem short.”The Knights, who defeated the Florida Panthers in five games to win the Cup, hope to become the latest team to repat as champions. The Tampa Bay Lightning accomplished that feat just two years ago, and the Pittsburgh Penguins did it in 2017, the only teams to do so in the salary-cap era.Vegas ...

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — A year ago, the Seattle Seahawks’ run defense was a bit of a problem. OK, a big problem. Through two games this season, it’s one of Seattle’s biggest bright spots, thanks to some specific changes and focus entering the year.“Everything that we’re doing right now is a big improvement,” Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. “The containment and the perimeter play has really cleaned up, minimizing the breakout plays is one. … The toughness of the guys up front. It’s fitting together, and we’ve been very aggressive with how we’ve been playing it. Hopefully we can keep rolling.”Opponents ran all over the Seahawks last season. Seattle allowed 4.9 yards per carry and 152 yards rushing per game, both of which were 30th in the league. But after revamping the defense in the offseason by bringing back a pair of former standouts in linebacker Bobby Wagner and nose tackle Jarran Reed, and signing defensive ends Dre’Mont Jones and Mario Edwards Jr., the cha...
