Jay Woodcroft is out as coach of the Edmonton Oilers after the supposed Stanley Cup contenders lost 10 of their first 13 games this season.Woodcroft was fired Sunday at the end of the team’s road trip, which wrapped up with a 4-1 win at Seattle on Saturday night. That victory was not enough to save Woodcroft’s job in the aftermath of a four-game losing streak, including an embarrassing 3-2 loss at the NHL-worst San Jose Sharks earlier in the week.Kris Knoblauch, Connor McDavid’s junior hockey coach, was named Woodcroft’s replacement, and Hall of Famer Paul Coffey joins his staff as an assistant. Knoblauch is the organization’s 10th coach in 15 seasons and the fifth since McDavid joined the team in 2015.After the loss in San Jose on Thursday night, Woodcroft said he wasn’t worried about his job security.“No one’s happy with where we’re at,” Woodcroft said. “We all own it. We can be better, and that’s where my focus is.”The Oilers had lost focus und...

Von Miller’s injured knee showing improvement with Buffalo ready to host Broncos, his former team

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:43:24 GMT

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — It wasn’t until late into Von Miller’s weekly session with reporters when the Buffalo Bills edge rusher came to a realization regarding how his surgically repaired right knee is feeling better by the week, and the significance of facing his former team on Monday night.After spending a majority of his time on Thursday detailing how much he cherished his 10-plus seasons in Denver and calling the outing “just another game,” Miller acknowledged there might be something more to it.He didn’t exactly contradict himself.It’s more as if the 34-year-old Miller found perspective in the timing of the game, how far he’s come in the nearly 12 months since he was hurt, and more importantly, how far he still needs to go after getting no sacks, one quarterback hit and one tackle in five games since returning.“You know, I can go out there and win the game by myself, kind of like a quarterback on offense. I’ve always had that type of self-belief,” Miller said.“So it’s definit...

Texas A&M fired coach Jimbo Fisher on Sunday, a move that will cost the school more than $75 million and end a tenure that began six years ago with the Aggies presenting him an engraved national championship trophy missing only the year.“After very careful analysis of all the components related to Texas A&M football, I recommended to President (Mark) Welsh and then Chancellor (John) Sharp that a change in the leadership of the program was necessary in order for Aggie football to reach our full potential and they accepted my decision,” Texas A&M athletic director Ross Bjork said in a statement. “We appreciate Coach Fisher’s time here at Texas A&M and we wish him the best in his future endeavors.”Instead of winning a title, Fisher went 45-25 and 27-21 in the Southeastern Conference, never winning more than nine games in any season. The Aggies are 6-4 with two games left, coming off a 51-10 victory against Mississippi State on Saturday night in College Stati...

BRIGHTON, England (AP) — Sheffield United moved off the bottom of the Premier League after Adam Webster’s own-goal secured a 1-1 draw at 10-man Brighton on Sunday.

Tens of thousands of people across Spain demonstrated on Sunday against Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s plans to grant amnesty to Catalan separatists in order to secure support for another term in office.Sánchez signed the controversial agreement last week after the Catalan separatist Junts party gave its backing to the prime minister’s Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE) to form a new government. The deal, which came four months after the Spanish election resulted in no single party gaining a majority in parliament, was criticized by judicial groups and almost immediately triggered protests.
