The Sun Devils knew they were in for a dogfight when UA came to town.
Many people know ASU is a top destination for Arizona students and students across the country, but what is less known is that it is also a premiere destination for athletes from across the world.
The Wildcats are coming to Tempe, and with a new season, hope to break a four-year trend.
ASU’s goalie battle added another wrinkle Friday night.
No. 2 ASU hockey scheduled its first Division I game against the rival UA Wildcats on Oct. 4 in Tempe. But before the Sun Devils can get to UA, they have to face another Wildcats team: Weber State of Division II.
While many players made their ASU debut on the ice last weekend, one notable recruit did not.
Playing a Division II team, ASU hockey took care of business on the ice this weekend,outscoring San Diego State 23-2 in the two-game set, as well as outshooting the Aztecs by a whopping 125-35 margin.
The only real difference between Friday night’s game between ASU and San Diego State is that it took the Sun Devils 184 seconds to score on Saturday, as opposed to Friday’s 63 seconds.
The ASU hockey team did not show any rink rust entering its first game of the season against San Diego State.
Seniors graduate and players transfer.
Friday night in Tempe, the puck will drop to open ASU hockey’s season, a campaign in which the Sun Devils hope to improve upon last year’s Final Four appearance, and head to the national championship.
On the opening drive of ASU’s 32-30 victory over Wisconsin on Saturday night, coach Todd Graham faced a 4th-and-two on the Wisconsin 3-yard line. He decided to go for it, and failed.
With the departure of Dan Styrna on the front line last season, ASU hockey coach Greg Powers needs to find a replacement on the line that includes senior captain Colin Hekle and junior Faiz Khan. Enter freshman Sean Murphy. “Murphy’s been consistently dynamic,” Powers said. “He was, on paper, the highest-touted kid we brought in.” Murphy scored two goals in the maroon and gold scrimmage on Sept. 5, and he is expected to join Hekle and Khan on the team’s front line. Styrna scored 40 points in 39 games last season, so Murphy has big shoes to fill, something for which he said he is excited. He also said his linemates have simplified the transition for him. “I feel honored to play with them. They’re a great two players,” Murphy said. “It makes it easy for me to come in and play. I don’t really have to do too much. ... They give me a lot of space on the ice, and they make good plays.” Powers said he likes the chemistry developing between the trio. “They look pretty darn good,” he said. “(Hekle) and Faiz, we all know they play very well together, and (Murphy) clearly complements them very well."As good as that line can or will be, Powers said it might not even be his best line."Right now my first line I have listed is Norris, McAuliffe and Dolinski," he said. Seniors Kale Dolinski and Danny McAuliffe, as well as junior Liam Norris formed last year's second line, and it may be the first line in the upcoming season.Powers said they could be the first line this year because Dolinski was National Player of the Year finalist last year, and all three played on the same line together last season.Norris only played 19 games because of an injury last year, but still managed 15 assists alongside Dolinski and McAuliffe, who ranked No. 1 and No. 4 on the team in goals, respectively. Sophomore defenseman and newly named assistant captain Jordan Young will anchor the starting defense, along with freshman Alex Temby. Goalie still unknown for next week’s opener With about a week until the first puck drop of the season, Powers is still undecided as to who will be in net. Returning senior Joe D’Elia led the team to a Final Four berth at last year’s national tournament but faces stiff competition from freshmen Robert Levin and Lucas Felbel. Powers said D'Elia's incumbency is certainly a factor."We know what Joe can do. We know we can win with Joe in net," Powers said. "(But) all three are capable of getting the job done." D’Elia was the starting goalie last season and amassed a 26-5 record. He also averaged 2.38 goals allowed per game, had a .91 save percentage and tended three shutouts. Levin was a highly regarded recruit, and Felbel walked onto the team. ASU hockey begins Sept. 20 against San Diego State University at Oceanside Ice Arena in Tempe.

Apple announced Tuesday the newest edition of the iPhone will go on sale Sept. 20. It will be an upgrade to the iPhone 5, and will come in two different models, the iPhone 5S and the less expensive iPhone 5C. I don’t care. I received an iPhone 4 as a gift almost two years ago. At the time, it was the newest model, but the iPhone 5 was set to be released in a few months. I love my iPhone 4 and do not need nor want an upgrade, and I spend a lot of time on my phone. Twitter, Facebook, email and texting take more of my time than I care to admit, and I have not once run into an issue with how fast it runs. Along with being faster than the older versions, the new iPhones will have a longer battery life, a better camera, a touchpad recognition feature and will come in many colors. It will also be thinner and lighter.
Coach Greg Powers recruited 14 players to become Sun Devils this winter.
Every single time the president makes a public statement, check Twitter. The first thing you’ll see is members of the opposite political party vehemently disagreeing with whatever he just said, and it doesn’t matter what that was.
With the ASU hockey season beginning in two weeks, coach Greg Powers does not know who will be in the net for this year’s opener.

I hate the Los Angeles Dodgers. Always have, always will.That being said, what the Dodgers are accomplishing right now is nothing short of remarkable.A long, long time ago, the Dodgers trailed in the NL West by 9.5 games. Then they decided that losing was for everyone else in the league and rattled off a 42-8 run.They now lead the NL West comfortably and are World Series favorites with a 9/2 line, according to bovada.lv.It sickens me to see the Dodgers doing what they are doing, but even I can appreciate greatness when I see it.The most impressive thing about this run is the absence of their best player, Matt Kemp. The team has established a “next in line” mentality that leads to AJ Ellis and Nick Punto winning games.That kind of attitude is normally reserved for teams that didn't spend a bajillion dollars constructing their roster.This is a terrifying team, and the only question is if their run will continue through October. Vegas certainly thinks so. I, meanwhile, will sit in my room with a Yasiel Puig voodoo doll and hope for a postseason collapse.Smart money says that won’t happen.

Ryan Braun is a liar, a cheater, a fraud and, as of Monday, a man without a job.
