Stan Kroenke, current owner of the Denver Nuggets & Colorado Avalanche, will need to strike a delicate balance if he hopes to become majority owner of the St Louis Rams.
The Colorado Rockies looked ready to assert themselves through much of a 3-run 1st Inning in Milwaukee on Wednesday. But Colorado stranded two runners in that inning, and missed opportunities became a common theme throughout the day.
The Rockies led 4-0 before Milwaukee fought back with tallies in the 5th & 7th. Both teams scored in the 9th Inning to make it a 5-3 final in favor of Colorado.
The Nuggets will be featured on either NBA TV, ESPN or TNT in 7 of their remaining 12 games, and that kind of exposure creates a unique opportunity for Denver to get the fans on their side.
Just over 24 hours after Paul Stastny & Brian Rafalski played as teammates in Vancouver, they will face off as competitors in Denver. Stastny will lead his Colorado Avalanche against Rafalski’s Detroit Red Wings in a rivalry game tonight.
As much as they may not want to hear about it now, as much as this loss will sting as no other before it, Team USA returned American Hockey to its rightful place among the best teams in the world.
I believe in the US win at Vancouver enough to pick them over the Canucks. Anything less would be a letdown as history threatens to come full circle.
After a rough start, the American women have caught a bit of a break, knocking off the British in extra ends tonight, 6-5.
For the Canadians & Americans, the NHL-sized rink is a major advantage. Against each other, the game will look very much like an NHL All-Star game, separated into Canada vs. United States, and played like the 7th Game of the Stanley Cup Finals. Should be exciting.
Thanks to some fortunate weather delays, her deep bruise healed enough for her to become the first American woman to win the downhill gold, besting teammate Julie Mancuso to land the top spot on the podium.
