By Ed Odeven Verified| JAPAN Forward@ In his first two seasons as captain of the Montreal Canadiens, the most storied franchise in NHL history, there was abundant frustration for Nick Suzuki. After all, lots of losses deliver lots of disappointment. The Canadiens were one of the worst teams in the NHL in the 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons, winning just 30 and 31 games, respectively, out of 82 each season as the franchise underwent a laborious rebuilding process.
By Ed Odeven Verified| JAPAN Forward@ The Sunrockers Shibuya announced the firing of head coach Luka Pavicevic on Tuesday, April 15, two days after their 68-55 B.League road loss to the Chiba Jets. Longtime Sunrockers assistant coach Kyle Bailey was named Pavicevic's replacement, starting with the team's Wednesday clash against the host Nagoya Diamond Dolphins. The Sunrockers have lost five of their last 10 games.
By Ed Odeven Verified| JAPAN Forward@ Based on his overall success in 2024, nobody should be surprised by how well Chicago Cubs starter Shota Imanaga is pitching in the opening weeks of the 2025 MLB campaign. Imanaga made his fifth start of the season on Tuesday, April 15, facing the San Diego Padres at Petco Park. And for the fourth time this season, he allowed zero or one run. The veteran lefty pitched five innings of no-run ball against the Padres, allowing four hits. He walked three and struck out seven in a no-decision.
