It’s been a slow start for Wild forward Matt Boldy

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 01:22:01 GMT

Matt Boldy was a first-round pick for the Wild in the 2019 entry draft, 12th overall, and he didn’t long to prove he was worth the collateral.After putting up 39 points in his first 47 games, the big winger from Boston College hit the big time last season, hitting the 30-goal mark in his first full season, going 31-32–63 to help the Wild rack up 103 points.By January, general manager Bill Guerin had seen enough to sign Boldy to a seven-year, $49 million extension, officially making him a cornerstone of this team’s future. The pressure to perform is on, and the 22-year-old is feeling it.“Not really any words for it, just not playing great,” he said after practice Wednesday at TRIA Rink. “I’ll be the first one to tell you that.”While Boldy wasn’t much help in the playoffs last spring, three assists in a six-game, first-round loss to Dallas, he was playing conspicuously well early, scoring a goal before being injured in the third period of the Wild’s second game, a 7-3 loss at Toronto....

New Steelers offensive coordinator Eddie Faulkner is focusing on the present

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 01:22:01 GMT

PITTSBURGH (AP) — This isn’t the way Eddie Faulkner wanted to get the biggest job of his professional life.Faulkner and Matt Canada are friends. Their wives are friends. Their families are friends. It’s a bond that goes back well over a decade, a bond that hardly ended when the Pittsburgh Steelers fired Canada as their offensive coordinator on Tuesday and replaced him with Faulkner, the energetic 46-year-old running backs coach who is well aware of how the promotion could alter the trajectory of his career.Not that he wants to talk about it much. Yes, Faulkner is thankful and excited for the opportunity. No, he’s not thrilled it had to come at Canada’s expense, particularly when the blame for Pittsburgh’s offensive struggles goes far beyond someone who means so much to him.“We feel like we let (Canada) down,” Faulkner said Thursday.Maybe, but head coach Mike Tomlin had seen enough to feel a rare midseason move was required for a franchise that’s a...
