Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:39:52 GMT

SAN JOSE – Anthony Duclair will play his 500th career NHL game on Thursday night when the San Jose Sharks host the Vancouver Canucks.“I’m so blessed,” Duclair said Thursday morning. “All I can think of right now is my family back home and all the sacrifices they made for me to live my childhood dream. Five hundred goes by pretty quickly.”But considering Duclair’s contract status – and the Sharks’ dismal start to the season – it’s fair to wonder how many more milestones the winger will celebrate in San Jose.One of the pressing questions Sharks general manager Mike Grier will have to answer in the coming months is how many of his pending unrestricted free agents he’ll try to sign past this season. That list is led by Duclair, who is in the final year of a three-year, $9 million deal and could net the Sharks a sizeable return prior to March’s trade deadline because of his speed and scoring pedigree.Grier said at the start of training camp that he did see the value of extending so...

Honestly, it has gotten out of hand. In my neighborhood, porches are ‘decorated’ with signs, chairs, tables, lamps, stools, end tables, pillows, plants, wreaths, string lights, mini refrigerators, lawn statues, fake trees, wicker deer and more, sometimes all on one porch! Can you please tell your readers to throw away half of what they have on their porches, then throw away half of what is still left? Thanks. Marlene”We talk a lot in this column about decluttering the inside of our homes, but we shouldn’t ignore the rooms outside. In fact, decluttering and thoughtfully furnishing ...
