And here they are in 2021, fighting for a spot in the World Series again. That’ll be a topic of conversation during the first few games of the ALCS, but it will have very little impact — OK, zero impact — on the actual games.

What the rivalry lacked in longevity, it more than made up for in intensity. MORE: Ten unforgettable moments in Wings-Avalanche rivalry It all started with a dirty, blindside check by Avalanche pest Claude Lemieux to Kris Draper along the boards in Game 6 of the 1996 Western Conference finals. The play sent the Red Wings forward to the hospital with multiple facial injuries that required extensive surgery. The incident sparked a string of brawls, including several infamous goalie throwdowns with Patrick Roy, Chris Osgood and Mike Vernon....

According to The MMQB, Redskins coach Jay Gruden intends to make his starting quarterback decision after the team’s third preseason game, which is scheduled for Aug. 22 in Atlanta. Gruden added that No. 15 overall pick Dwayne Haskins is still chasing Colt McCoy and Case Keenum, but the rookie still has time to catch the veterans before the regular-season opener Sept. 8 against the Eagles. “I think it’ll come probably sooner than later, because you’d like to get that guy ready to go,” Gruden told The MMQB....
A pulsating moving day saw McIlroy, who only needs a Masters win to complete golf’s Grand Slam, make his charge with a seven-under-par 65. That left him at 11 under for the tournament, three strokes adrift of Reed – who was the leader at the end of round two and three, and is aiming to become the first Masters champion to score four rounds in the 60s. The final group teed off at 2:40pm local time, after rivals Rickie Fowler (-9), Jon Rahm (-8) and Henrik Stenson (-7) had begun their fourth rounds....
NASCAR Xfinity drivers Ty Dillon, Regan Smith, Darrell Wallace Jr., and Daniel Suarez competed for $100,000 on Saturday in the program’s first leg. After qualifying last weekend’s XFinity race in Charlotte, these drivers competed Saturday in the Buckle Up 200 at Dover International Speedway for one of four $100,000 payouts throughout the season. Smith’s $100,000 check didn’t come easy. He never led the race but was able to stay on the lead lap as green-flag pit stops occurred with fewer than 20 laps to go....
MONACO (Reuters) - Australian Daniel Ricciardo and Dutch teenager Max Verstappen have no escape clauses in their contracts and will remain with Red Bull in 2018, team principal Christian Horner said on Friday.

They are both straightforward clean contracts. “I’ve got no doubt that both Max and Daniel will be driving an RB14 next year....
In the UK however, Red Dead Redemption 2’s successful launch weekend wasn’t the best in the region this year. According to MVCUK, FIFA 19 still holds the title for the best weekend launch in the UK for 2018 when taking physical sales into account. However, the silver lining in Rockstar’s newest release coming in second place is its comparison to the launch of Red Dead Redemption, with sales roughly doubling those of the 2010 game....
Rockstar announced the new update in a Twitter post on Tuesday, with full details published on the developer’s website.

Bethesda is faced with a huge challenge. The studio will need to figure out how to improve on common criticisms of The Elder Scrolls games, such as the writing, without stepping on the toes of the millions of players who enjoy the game world for its freedom. Dynamic, environmental storytelling will be key to make The Elder Scrolls 6 feel like the next-generational step forward from Skyrim without undermining playing freedom or railroading them onto preset narratives....
Unfortunately for many Red Dead fans, hopes of a sequel to Undead Nightmare may as well be laid to rest. With Rockstar releasing more DLC and zombies even added to the game for a separate event without apparent plans for a sequel to the add-on, there are a few key reasons fans shouldn’t keep their hopes up for a return to Undead Nightmare in Red Dead Redemption 2.

A YouTuber that goes by J3unny uploaded an incredible medley of Red Dead Redemption 2 clips to the orchestrated song Can Can from Orpheus in the Underworld, a rather familiar tune to most who hear it. The video is certainly a far stretch from the recent Red Dead Redemption rap, but very much just as comical.

Perhaps understandably, some PC gamers have been aggrieved by this apparent snub with regards to Red Dead Redemption 2. As a result, some of those most flustered by the exclusion of PC gamers from all material thus far have taken it upon themselves to start an online petition requesting that the game is released for PC as well as console. Those interested in checking it out, or perhaps adding their signatures, can do so by going to change....
The legacy of the first Undead Nightmare, as well as Rockstar’s other single-player DLC, has lingered. Fans have not forgotten the original expansion for the first Red Dead game, which not only brought zombies to the game, but a redesigned map and a completely new story to experience. However, with Red Dead 2 following in GTA 5’s footsteps and adding no single-player DLC whatsoever, the hopes for ever seeing a similar expansion seem dead....
Since the game was released, players have reported hearing ghostly noises while traveling through certain parts of the map near Saint Denis.

With a new set of Red Dead Redemption 2 screenshots, Rockstar has aimed to rectify that. The new images of the game offer a look at the many towns that players will visit through the game. There are the likes of Valentine in The Heartlands which is described as a “rough-and-tumble” place with prostitutes, gamblers, and cowboys which is a stark contrast to Rhodes in Scarlett Meadows which seems prim and proper aside from the conflict between two plantation families and the undercover corruption....
Parents often ask questions such as these, and asking them suggests that you’re staying mindful of your child’s development. What appear to be red flags are more than likely signs that your child is developing at their own pace, despite certain headlines pointing to a rise in autism cases. Even if an issue exists, chances are the problem is not autism. Autism spectrum disorders involve a pattern of symptoms and not just a single delay or quirk....
David Ortiz and Mike Napoli homered, John Lackey threw six sharp innings and Boston ruined the Baltimore debut of Ubaldo Jimenez with a 6-2 victory Wednesday night. Dustin Pedroia had four hits for the defending World Series champion Red Sox, now 1-1 after losing to Baltimore on opening day. "Dustin, David and Mike.

So when the two met up again on Sunday in Detroit, there was almost certainly going to be some more bad blood. While there were some fists flying in the final seconds, there wasn’t an actual fight because when Lightning forward Brian Boyle challenged Abdelkader to duke it out, Abdelkader declined, which prompted this reaction from Boyle....
