Sharks’ young defensemen could be facing a big test ahead

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:53:41 GMT

The San Jose Sharks overhauled their defense corps within the last two seasons, acquiring a handful of young blueliners they feel can be a part of the organization for years to come.Those defensemen might now be forced to take on some more responsibility if Mario Ferraro has to miss time with an upper-body injury.Ferraro, who leads all Sharks skaters in ice time, had to leave Sunday’s game with the Colorado Avalanche after he absorbed a shoulder-to-shoulder hit from forward Nathan MacKinnon midway through the first period. Ferraro appeared to be in considerable pain as he immediately headed toward the Sharks’ dressing room, missing the remainder of what turned into a 3-1 San Jose loss at Ball Arena in Denver.Sharks coach David Quinn did not have an update on Ferraro on Sunday night and it remained unclear whether the Toronto-born defenseman would be available for the team’s game Tuesday against the Detroit Red Wings. The Sharks, beset by injuries all season, were off Monday and Ferr...

BART train derails near Orinda, prompting station closures, delays

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:53:41 GMT

Nine people were injured Monday when a BART train derailed and caught fire north of Orinda, causing widespread delays in the East Bay as transit crews worked to clear wreckage from the tracks and nail down what went wrong.The derailment happened shortly after 9 a.m. on a section of the Yellow line train to east Contra Costa County where trains typically switch from one set of tracks to the other, according to Jim Allison, a BART spokesman. Investigators were still working Monday afternoon to determine whether it was caused by human error or a mechanical failure.None of the injuries were considered severe, Allison said.The crash snarled transit access between Lafayette and Orinda, while causing delays along nearby Highway 24 while emergency crews responded to the wreck. Yet officials also expressed relief that the derailment happened on a holiday morning when a fraction of the train’s normal commuters — which can number several hundred people — were on board.“...

DETROIT (AP) — Dan Campbell’s passion has been on display since the moment he was hired as coach of the Detroit Lions, famously saying at his opening news conference nearly three years ago that his teams would kick in teeth and bite kneecaps of opponents.Campbell has screamed with joy, and shed tears, after wins and losses.And he has never looked and sounded as fired up as he was on Monday.“ I’ve got controlled fury and I’m ready to go,” Campbell said.Roughly 36 hours after a disputed call at Dallas led to a loss that took away a shot at the top seed in the NFC, Campbell insisted he had moved on and said players would do the same as they prepare for the regular-season finale.“I’ve got pure octane right now,” Campbell said. “I woke up. I’m ready, so we’re moving forward.”Looking back was not part of Campbell’s plan at his weekly news conference.In an opening statement that lasted 2 minutes, 10 seconds, he did not address the negated 2-point conversion caught by offe...
