Anonymous – Inter Milan Captain Fails To Get Into The Game In 5-0 Champions League Final Loss Vs PSG
Anonymous – Inter Milan Captain Fails To Get Into The Game In 5-0 Champions League Final Loss Vs PSG Nerazzurri captain Lautaro Martinez ended up cutting an anonymous figure in yesterday's Champions League final between PSG and Inter Milan. This is the view in today's print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews. Advertisement Inter captain Lautaro Martinez did everything to be available against Paris Saint-Germain yesterday. The Argentine had been absent for a few weeks with a thigh problem. This was something he had suffered during Inter's Champions League semifinal tie against Barcelona. However, returning against PSG for the final was always going to be the priority. In truth, however, Martinez hardly need have bothered. Lautaro Martinez Cuts An Anonymous Figure In PSG 5-0 Inter Milan UCL Final GENOA, ITALY – AUGUST 17: Lautaro Martinez of Inter looks on during a warm-up session prior to kick-off in the Serie A match between Genoa and Inter at Stadio Luigi Ferraris on August 17, 2024 in Genoa, Italy. (Photo by) Lautaro Martinez did try to help his team up the pitch. The 27-year-old battled with Paris Saint-Germain defender Willian Pacho. He would try to chest down the ball and gain some ground to get Inter into the Parisians' half. Advertisement Moreover, Martinez would drop deeper at times. He would aim to offer support in the midfield battle in which PSG were overrunning Inter. Then, the Nerazzurri captain would pick up his head to try and spring a quick add with a forward or diagonal pass. However, in truth, none of this was really to any sort of avail. Time and time again, the PSG defense dealt with Martinez comfortably. And the Argentine lacked the quality or presence in the penalty area to create any real danger.

Here's what Darryl Sittler's historic Maple Leafs sweater fetched at auction
If you were hoping to get your hands on a significant piece of Maple Leafs history, you're out of luck. An anonymous bidder has paid $143,030 for the sweater that Darryl Sittler wore when he recorded 10 points in a Leafs victory against the Boston Bruins on Feb. 7, 1976. The sale was made via Los Angeles-based Grey Flannel Auctions. The starting bid in the online auction, which opened on May 12 and closed on June 1, was $10,000. A total of 29 bids were made. Nearly 50 years after the historic performance, Sittler's 10 points remain a National Hockey League record for one game. That night at Maple Leafs Gardens, the Leafs captain had six goals and four assists as the Leafs shelled Bruins goalie Dave Reece in an 11-4 Toronto win. Reece, who faced 40 shots that night, didn't play in an NHL game again. All 14 of his career games came during the 1975-76 season with the Bruins. The previous record for most points in an NHL game was eight, done by Maurice Richard of the Montreal Canadiens during the 1944-45 season. Since Sittler's extraordinary performance, 12 players have recorded eight points in a game, but no one has had nine. Most recently, Sam Gagner, with the Edmonton Oilers at the time, had eight points (four goals and four assists) on Feb. 2, 2012, in an 8-4 win against the Chicago Blackhawks. Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux both posted two eight-point games during their legendary careers. A game-worn sweater belonging to Gretzky, meanwhile, during his tenure with the New York Rangers sold for $295,492 via Grey Flannel Auctions. The autographed sweater is rare: On April 7, 1998, in a game against the Montreal Canadiens, Gretzky wore the captain's 'C' as Rangers captain Brian Leetch was out of the lineup because he was sick. Gretzky, who retired following the next season, scored the 884th goal of his NHL career that night in a 3-2 Rangers loss. tkoshan@ X: @koshtorontosun Maple Leafs need to keep Easton Cowan and give him a legitimate shot A look at Brad Treliving's work two years into his tenure as Maple Leafs GM

Penguins announce the hiring of Dan Muse as head coach
The Penguins have announced they have hired Dan Muse as the 23rd head coach in the franchise's history. The 42-year-old Muse comes from the New York Rangers, where he spent the last three seasons as an assistant coach. Prior to the Rangers, he was an assistant coach with the Nashville Predators from 2017 to 2020. "During this process, we met with many candidates who we felt would have been a fit as the next head coach of the Penguins, but ultimately, Dan Muse stood out as the best choice," Penguins President of Hockey Operations Kyle Dubas said in a release. "What separated Dan was his ability to develop players, win at all levels where he has been a head coach, and his consistent success coaching special teams in the NHL. From his success in developing college and junior players, to his impactful work with veteran players during his time in the NHL, Dan has shown a proven ability to connect with players at all stages of their careers and help them to reach their potential." Along with experience at the NHL level, the Massachusetts native has won championships at multiple levels, including the NCAA, USHL, IIHF U18, and U20. During his time with the Rangers and Predators, Muse ran the team's penalty kill. With Nashville, the team's penalty kill ranked fourth in the NHL in two years. He had the same role in New York, helping the team to the fourth-highest success rate. Muse has also spent a lot of time with USA Hockey, acting as head coach at the National Team Development Program from 2020 to 2023. In 2023, he led the team to a gold medal at the 2023 World Under-18 Championship. That year, the team set a program record of 16 wins over NCAA opponents during the regular season. During his time with the USA NTDP, he coached Penguins' prospect Rutger McGroarty. On April 28, the Penguins announced that the team and Mike Sullivan had agreed to part ways after nine seasons. Sullivan left the team as the winningest coach with 409 regular-season wins, as well as being the bench boss for back-to-back Stanley Cup championships in 2016 and 2017. Just days later, Sullivan was hired as the head coach of the New York Rangers.
