If the Major League Baseball regular season is a marathon, the Postseason is a sprint. It’s all about what team gets hot at the right time, and that team isn’t always the team that performed the best in the regular season. Countless times, the team that looks better on paper, whether because of a better regular season record or a better lineup or any number of things, gets knocked out in the Division Series or the Championship Series, falling short of their goal of reaching and winning the World Series.
Arizona State welcomed No. 15 Merrimack College to open the 2023-24 college hockey season in a two game series this past week. Last season, the Warriors were one of the better teams in college hockey, earning a record of 23-14-1.

Derek Stepan recently announced he was hanging up the skates in a statement released by the NHL Players Association Tuesday. The Minnesota native played in 890 games and scored a total of 515 points in his NHL career. During his time in the league, he spent his first seven seasons with the New York Rangers, where he was drafted by them in the second-round of the 2008 NHL Draft. Stepan made the playoffs with New York in each of his seven seasons with the team, making three conference final appearances and one Stanley Cup final showing. The two-way center had his best statistical season in 2013 with the Rangers, recording 57 points in 82 games played.
Williams is the last Formula 1 team not to have a confirmed driver lineup for the 2024 season. Williams, who is seventh in the constructor standings heading into the United States Grand Prix, currently has Alexander Albon and Logan Sargeant racing for them, but only Albon has been confirmed for 2024. Sargeant, a 22-year-old rookie from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, has had a hard time adjusting to Formula 1 after finishing fourth in his first full Formula 2 season the year prior. Sargeant is yet to score his first point, meaning that all 23 of Williams's points come from his teammate, Albon. It isn’t just a lack of points, though. Sargeant hasn’t been able to limit accidents and is estimated to have cost his team around $3.9 million in damages as of the Japanese Grand Prix, an absolutely staggering number. Obviously, these two issues have combined to make Sargeant’s rookie season a rather disappointing one, and it makes sense that Williams is putting off having to commit to the young American for 2024. Sergeant very well could end up driving for the team again next year, but the longer it takes for him to be announced, the more it feels like it could be someone else. Who could it be, though? Well, there are undoubtedly multiple drivers Williams management could turn to, but who are those drivers, and do any of them even make sense?
