After serving as sports editor of both the Silverado Star and UNLV Rebel Yell, the Detroit native remained in Las Vegas and embarked on his professional journalism career at the Review-Journal in 2002. He has covered mixed martial arts and prep sports while helping coordinate online and social media coverage for nearly every major sporting event to come through the valley.
San Jose limited the space Vegas skaters had to operate in Game 2 and it helped spark a dramatic win and a road split in the Western Conference semifinals.
San Jose goalie Martin Jones looked up at the big screen to watch the replay as the Golden Knights celebrated around him even though he already knew what would happen.
Goaltender Martin Jones says San Jose is not the type of team to “hit the panic button” after one loss, despite the lopsided score in the series opener.
Martin Jones, the star of the sweep over Anaheim and a run to the Stanley Cup Finals two years ago, allowed four goals on the first seven shots he saw and was pulled after allowing a fifth early in the second period.
The San Jose Sharks have qualified for the playoffs in 18 of the past 20 years, but are still looking for their first championship.
The 38-year-old Las Vegan, who will finally fight Fedor Emelianenko on Saturday outside Chicago in the Bellator Heavyweight Grand Prix, doesn’t think he will ‘gracefully’ exit the sport when he does decide to retire.
The Las Vegan bounced back from a disappointing interim lightweight title loss to Tony Ferguson with a thrashing of contender Edson Barboza in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
A breakdown of the fights on the main card of Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 128 card at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey, with picks from the Review-Journal’s Adam Hill and Heidi Fang.
Three fights have been added to “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 27 Finale card July 6 at the Palms, including four contestants from Season 26 of the show.
The Kings spent what felt like the entire first period of Game 4 in the offensive zone putting pressure on the Golden Knights. But after its most complete 20 minutes of the Western Conference quarterfinal series, Los Angeles still found itself locked in a scoreless game.
UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier had no interest in manufacturing animosity between himself and opposing coach Stipe Miocic on the set of “The Ultimate Fighter.”
The polarizing welterweight will be looking to snap a two-fight losing streak when he faces Yancy Medeiros on the UFC 226 card at T-Mobile Arena.
Eleven Los Angeles players remain on the current roster who were part of the team that rallied from 3-0 down to beat San Jose four years ago as part of the Kings’ last Stanley Cup title run.
Coach John Stevens believed he got what he wanted from his team at times in Game 3 on Sunday night. It just wasn’t enough as the Kings fell behind 3-0 in the series with a 3-2 loss at Staples Center.
