Michael ”Doc” Emrick is a bit surprised about the success of the expansion Vegas Golden Knights Alex DeBrincat Jersey , but not about goalie Marc Andre Fleury’s role in leading the team deep into the NHL playoffs.The longtime hockey announcer who does games for NBC said a hot goalie can carry a team at times, and told co-hosts Jim Litke and Tim Dahlberg on the “PodcastOne Sports Now” show that Fleury had some big moments in his 14 years in Pittsburgh before being left unprotected in the expansion draft before the season began.Emrick said Fleury seems re-energized in Las Vegas and comfortable in his role as a team leader. In the Knights’ win in the first game of the series against the San Jose Sharks, Fleury joined the crowd in doing the wave in the late minutes of the game.Emrick also discusses the rivalry between Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin on the podcast, which is backed by the resources of The Associated Press, and the teams left in the playoffs.Also joining the hosts is AP basketball writer Tom Withers to talk about LeBron James, and the AP’s Jimmy Golen from Boston to talk about the Yankees-Red Sox early season series.

Radulov also had two assists.“You’ve got Seguin with the unbelievable shot,” Jets center Adam Lowry said. “Benn’s kind of the prototypical power forward. He’s got speed, but he’s got skill and he plays a heavy game. Radulov, you see the hand skill, the body.”Ben Bishop finished with 32 saves for Dallas, 15 in the third period. Connor Hellebuyck had 30 for Winnipeg.“When we have our healthy (Bishop) back there, we’re a dangerous team,” Stars defenseman Marc Methot said.Radulov scored for the second time in the first two games on a wrist shot from a sharp angle below the right faceoff circle.
