The San Jose Sharks defeated the Vancouver Canucks 6-3 on Saturday. Ryan Reaves, John Klingberg, William Eklund, Igor Chernyshov, Macklin Celebrini and Collin Graf scored for San Jose. Yaroslav Askarov made 23 saves for the win. Linus Karlsson, Drew O’Connor and Marco Rossi scored for the Canucks. Thatcher Demko made 31 saves in the loss.

The win ended a three game losing streak for the Sharks, and also a many-year losing streak in Vancouver. The Sharks had not won a game there since 2019. After the game, Sharks Head Coach Ryan Warsofsky said: “When we’re skating, playing with structure, we’re competing, we’re a hard team to play against and we’ve seen that this year. We’ve just got to do it consistently.”

Ryan Reaves scored the first goal of the game at 6:11. A scramble in front of the net left the puck sitting in the blue paint between the goaltender and the goal line. Reaves pushed through the crowd and tapped it over the line. Assists went to Barclay Goodrow and Vincent Iorio.

John Klingberg made it 2-0 at 7:55. After catching the puck off of an offensive zone faceoff, Klingberg skated to the middle of the blue line for a wrist shot that went right in. Macklin Celebrini got an assist on the goal.

Linus Karlsson trimmed the Sharks lead to 2-1 with a power play goal at 10:04. Karlsson’s wrist shot came from in close, off a pass from Connor Garland. An assist also went to Filip Hronek.

The Sharks outshot the Canucks 11-8 in the first period. Each team took one penalty.

William Eklund got credit for the only second period goal. Eklund sent the puck into the net traffic and it went off of a Canucks defender and in.

The Sharks outshot the Canucks 11-6 in the second period and, again, each team took one penalty.

Just 36 seconds into the third, Marco Rossi made it 3-2. The rebound from a Filip Hronek shot went up in the air and right to Rossi. Assists went to Hronek and Garland.

Igor Chernyshov scored on the power play to make it 4-2 at 4:47. An Adam Gaudette pass found Chernyshov in front of the net for a wrist shot. An assist also went to Dmitry Orlov as well.

Drew O’Connor scored a short-handed goal at 10:43 with a snap shot.

Macklin Celebrini scored to make it 6-3. Chernyshov passed the puck up from near the goal line as Celebrini tapped his stick to call for the puck. Celebrini shot as soon as he go the puck, wasting no time. Assists went to Chernyshov and Eklund.

Collin Graf scored into an empty net at 18:55. Assists went to Alexander Wennberg and Mario Ferrraro.

San Jose held a small lead in shots in the third, 15-13. Vancouver took three penalties and San Jose took two.

The Sharks next play on Monday in Anaheim against the Ducks at 7:00 PM PT.

STANFORD, Calif. — The Stanford Cardinal (11-2, 0-0 ACC) ended their non-conference schedule with a convincing 88-80 victory over the California State University – Northridge Matadors (8-6, 1-1 Big West), Saturday Evening on the Farm.

CSUN got the scoring going in the Golden State battle with a single free throw conversion.  That slight lead was a theme for the first half and the Southern Californian guests.  The first 20 minutes was competitive, with six lead changes and three ties.

However, the Matadors dominated the time of leadership (17:20), despite the early back and forth scuffle.  CSUN shot 50% from both the floor and beyond the arc..  Stanford, on the other hand, was a putrid 36% from 2, and 17% from Threeland.  They also led by a high of 9 points, and had two significant runs (6-0 & 7-0).  While the Cardinal led by two for their highest  lead, but kept themself at a single-digit deficit (5) by recess, 38-33.

During the initial 20-minute block, only two players eclipsed the 10+ points plateau.  Chisom Okpara scored 14 points for the Cardinal, and senior guard Larry Hughes II put up an impressive 19 points, with five 3-pointers on a scintillating shooting clip.  Hughes is the son of former NBA player Larry Hughes.

After the intermission, the Cardinal went on a 13-0 run to start the second half in under two minutes of gametime play.  They went from trailing by five, to being up by eight in the blink of an eye.  Freshman sensation Ebuka Okorie was the key hooper to spearhead that TREEmendous push.  He more than doubled his first half output and made school history again in his brief tenure on the Farm.

Okorie’s 30 points marked the second straight game (32) for him amassing at least that amount of point production.  Last time it was done in 2010 by Landry Fields.  However, Fields was a senior, so Okorie is the only freshman to do the unprecedented Cardinal deed.

CSUN did not give up the fight, as they managed to be tied twice, and lost the lead change permanently.  Hughes II added a modest seven points to his total, but they needed a little more to take down the Tree.  Four other teammates contributed double-figure scoring, but it was not enough after the 40-minute time limit elapsed.  Stanford parlayed that second half explosion into an eight  points victory, 88-80.

Okorie led all players with 30 points, while Okpara aided his teammate with 20 points of his own,  Benny Gealer chipped in 13 points and five assists.  Ryan Agarwal delivered 10 points and eight rebounds to the Cardinal.

Hughes II topped the Matadors with his 26 points, while Joshua O’Garro (15), Davius Lowery (11), Mahmoud Fofana (11) and Josiah Davis (10) all did their part for CSUN.

The Cardinal will next be in action Tuesday, December 30 here at Maples hosting the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and opening ACC play at 6 PM PT on ESPN2.  CSUN will next play in 2026 as they travel to UC – Davis to take on the Aggies on New Year’s Day at 2 PM PT on ESPN+

DOWNTOWN SACRAMENTO — The Sacramento Kings were back in action on Saturday afternoon to take on Cooper Flagg and the Dallas Mavericks. The Mavericks, who were without the injured Anthony Davis, were coming off a Christmas loss to the Golden State Warriors on Thursday. The Kings, who entered the game with the worst record in the Western Conference, were coming off a loss on Tuesday at the hands of the Detroit Pistons.

On Saturday, the Kings defeated the Dallas Mavericks 113-107 in front of a solid weekend crowd at the Golden 1 Center.

The Kings got off to a quick start in the first quarter as they jumped out to an early 14-9 lead at the 7:11 mark in the game. Keon Ellis had eight of the Kings’ 14 points and started the game red hot, going 3-3 on his shots. The Kings kept up their offensive pace the rest of the first quarter as they outscored the Mavs 31-23. Keon Ellis continued his first-quarter tirade as he dropped 13 points on 5-for-7 shooting from the floor. The Kings played one of their better quarters of the year and looked to keep up that pace heading into the second quarter.

Doug McDermott kept the Kings going early in the second quarter as he checked in and immediately hit two three pointers for the Kings. The Kings outscored the Mavs 28-21 to take the 59-44 lead going into halftime. Keon Ellis led the Kings in scoring in the first half with 13 points (all coming in the first quarter), as Maxime Raynaud and Russell Westbrook were right behind with 11 and 12 points, respectively. P.J. Washington Jr. led the Mavericks with nine points in the first half. Cooper Flagg was a non-factor in the first half as he scored only two points on 0-4 shooting from the field.

Coming out of halftime, the Mavs went on a 24-12 run to open the half as the Kings’ lead shrunk all the way down to 71-68 at the 6:05 mark, forcing Doug Christie to take a timeout. The Mavericks’ shooting had come around to start the second half, and the Kings had no answer early on to stop them. Cooper Flagg scored 15 of the 24 points in the Mavs’ early run in the second half. The Kings battled back and were able to rebuild the lead to 88-77 to end the third quarter. Keon Ellis caught fire again late and dropped eight points in the third quarter for the Kings.

Down the final stretch of the game, the lead hovered around 10 points for the Kings for the majority of the fourth quarter. However, during the final two minutes of the game, the Mavs were able to cut the lead to four points. Yet, the Kings held on and were able to defeat the Mavs 113-107. It was one of the more complete games from the Kings this season, albeit against a bad and depleted Dallas squad.

The Kings were led in the victory by Keon Ellis and Russell Westbrook, who each scored 21 points in the game. Dallas was led by an impressive second half from Cooper Flagg, who tallied 23 points in the game (21 in the second half).

After the game, Doug Christie praised the Kings’ effort after the Mavericks made their run in the third quarter.

“We went on a 9-0 run in that third quarter to respond to their response. And that’s big, man… teams are going to make a run. It’s just how it goes. But it’s your response to that. And my thing tonight with them was mental toughness, and they definitely showed the mental toughness.”

Aside from the game, Russell Westbrook made more history in what has turned into a certain Hall of Fame career. Westbrook passed Magic Johnson on the all-time assists list with 10,141, which is good enough for seventh all time. Westbrook also surpassed the 2,000-steal threshold with a steal at the 5:09 mark in the third quarter.

Speaking on his accolades, Westbrook was humble about the status he has reached on the court during his career.

“Before I speak and say anything, I’m truly blessed and thankful to the man above for just allowing me and gifting me with the time to go out and play basketball. And as for passing Magic, it’s an honor. Magic is one of the greats.”

Westbrook continued to speak not only to Magic’s greatness on the court, but also his desire to lift others up off of it.

“I mentioned this a little earlier, but yes, Magic did a lot of great things on the court. But growing up in the inner city of Los Angeles, Magic did a lot for the underserved, continues to do a lot — something that I’ve kind of modeled and wanted to make sure the philanthropy side was also done. I’m grateful to be able to pass him just because he’s such a legend in so many different ways.”

The Kings aren’t much of a fun watch on the court this season. Yet, the late addition of Russell Westbrook has certainly given fans a reason to show up on a nightly basis. Kings fans are watching greatness on a nightly basis with him and DeMar DeRozan. That’s special, and somewhat of a silver lining to this disappointing season so far for the Kings.

Up next: The Kings will travel to Los Angeles to take on the Lakers at 6:30 p.m. PST at Crypto.com Arena.

That’s Amaury News and Commentary: Venezuela, Country and Baseball in Peril

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

Venezuela oppostion leader Maria Corina Machado holds up a tally sheets during a protest against the reelection of President Nicolas Maduro. Machado says that she won by a landslide election in Caracus Venezeula in Aug 28, 2024. The politics is keeping the Carribbean Series on hold because other countries are nervous about sending their athletes to Venezuela because of possible war against Maduro and Venezuela.

By Amaury Pi-Gonzalez

Baseball is Venezuela’s national sport, but it is suffering because of the deep economic crisis, political instability, and security concerns. Their leagues are struggling financially. Players have left the country for asylum, and their attendance at games has also suffered.

Although the 2026 Caribbean Baseball Series was scheduled to be held in Caracas, Venezuela, at Estadio Monumental Simon Bolivar, logistical issues and rising tensions in the country led the Caribbean Professional Baseball Confederation (CBPC) to relocate the series to México, with games to take place at Guadalajara’s Estadio Charros de Jalisco.

Leagues from Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and México boycotted Venezuela; these countries do not want to send their players to Venezuela for reasons already known. Cuba,a historical baseball pioneer, was excluded from this tournament, and its government called it “disrespectful.” Why was Cuba excluded? Cuba is politically aligned with Maduro.

Operating under Cuba’s government sports ministry (INDER), there are no baseball team owners in Cuba; the government owns them, plus you cannot question a government decision in Cuba; they rule. There is no First Amendment in Cuba.

Venezuela situation: Geopolitical tensions in Venezuela are nothing new. Over the past decade, since Nicolás Maduro became president, the United Nations estimates that close to 8 million Venezuelans have fled as the economy collapsed (the largest exodus ever from one country in Latin America), sneaking across porous borders and crowding into nearby countries (like Colombia) that increasingly fear they cannot accommodate another mass exodus. Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado won the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize for promoting democracy and opposing the Maduro regime.

The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded in recognition of her courage in campaigning against Maduro and leading the opposition, despite being barred from running and forced to live in hiding. Also, pressure from the current US government administration against Venezuela, which is nothing new since the United States has been intervening in Latin American countries since President Wilson in 1914. Like it or not, it is history.

In the Caribbean Series, the situation is highly fluid. Venezuela’s participation remains uncertain; Panamá will participate as a guest nation.  This series is supposed to be played from February 1 to 7. But it is in danger.

The World Baseball Classic (WBC), with 20 countries scheduled to participate,(including the US and Japan) takes place from March 5-7, 2026. The situation with Venezuela and Cuba is still to be determined. What is the root cause of Venezuela that led to the current situation?

Personal story: I remember as a kid (13 years or so) in 1959 at Estadio de El Cerro in La Habana.  Just days after Fidel Castro was assembling his government, there was gunfire inside the stadium, and Havana Sugar Kings shortstop Leonardo (Leo) Cárdenas was injured, along with a coach. Cárdenas played for 16 years in the majors, mostly with the Cincinnati Reds. He is 87 years young.

Happy New Year!
