Avalanche journal: Avs have climbed all the way back from sixth place in division, but two recent wins could loom over them — in a bad way

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:14:24 GMT

Trying to put the Avalanche’s 2022-23 season into perspective is more daunting and nuanced than it was a year ago.Has something felt off, like consistency is harder to come by? Is that just the residue of high expectations after a dominant championship run combined with a high injury rate? Are the Avs about to repeat? Are they doomed to an early playoff ending?Winning a Stanley Cup can naturally make sorting through the labels of a successful vs. unsuccessful season more challenging, especially a season as bumpy as this one. The perception has changed in Denver. So has the roster.What hasn’t changed is that the Avalanche are one of the top teams in the West as they prepare for a sixth consecutive year of playoff hockey. They’ve come a long way to get to the point where they’re playing for something more than a playoff spot. But weirdly enough, two wins could loom over them in the final week — in a bad way.How did the Avs get to this point? After losing ...

Barabak: Donald Trump throws himself a Mar-a-Lago pity party

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:14:24 GMT

Donald Trump, once the most powerful man on Earth, threw himself a pity party Tuesday night.Indicted, booked and fingerprinted, the former president scurried home to his safe space at Mar-a-Lago, where surrounded by sycophants and other grasping hangers-on, he whined.He lied about the conduct of the 2020 election. He lied about his efforts to overturn the result.He lied about his mishandling of classified documents. He lied about Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan district attorney who brought the criminal charges he faces in New York City.“I never thought anything like this could happen in America,” Trump waxed morosely. “The only crime that I have committed is to vigorously defend our nation from those who seek to destroy it.”It was a remarkable spectacle, capping an unprecedented day in American history.It also underscored how the utterly self-absorbed Trump has become ever more disconnected from the lives of those he claims to represent and the needs of a nation ...

Opinion: Pence-Trump divide defines today’s Republican Party conundrum

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:14:24 GMT

Maybe it is because I am preparing to launch one of my children off to college, but I have been thinking a lot about inflection points in life. The Republican Party is also at one of those points. The party, like my daughter, needs to decide what it wants to be and whether it wants to win. But unlike my daughter, I am afraid there will be no turning back for the GOP once it chooses its fate.This critical juncture provides an opportunity for Republican primary voters. While voters may love Donald Trump and feel he is being politically persecuted, they should consider two things and one other person; three GOP election-cycle losses, potential exhaustion from the electorate if Trump’s legal woes continue, and former Vice President Mike Pence.While Pence has yet to enter the race, he has been in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina offering a vision for the country and the party based on values and policies, all the while strategically not attacking the former president or demeaning h...

Guardiola says Walker cannot play in City’s current system

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:14:24 GMT

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Kyle Walker is set to have only limited game time at Manchester City for the rest of the season because manager Pep Guardiola said the England right back is ill-equipped to play in the team’s new system.Guardiola has been playing a three-man defense, pushing one of the full backs in a central-midfield role alongside Rodri. That has been John Stones in recent weeks, meaning Walker — who isn’t as technically strong on the ball — has mostly been a substitute despite being a key member of City’s success in recent years.“He cannot do it,” Guardiola said of Walker playing as an inverted full back. “He will always have pace. He will be the fastest in this room at 60 years old. To play inside, you have to make some educated movements. He has other characteristics.“He has played as a full back coming inside in the past with four in the back, with Joao (Cancelo) or Aleks (Zinchenko) in that position, and Kyle has done it really well. But with this shape ...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:14:24 GMT

(CNN) — A muchas personas les resulta difícil aceptar la idea de hacer ejercicio regularmente, aunque saben que es bueno para su salud física y mental.

Parents, 5 children forced to jump from window to escape Brockton blaze

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:14:24 GMT

Two parents from Brockton are recalling the terrifying moment they and their five children were forced to leap from a second-floor window as a fast-moving fire raced through the multi-family home they live in late Friday night.Crews responding to reported structure fire on Montello Street around 11 p.m. found heavy flames and smoke pouring out of the building. Witnesses said the fire spread so quickly that some people inside didn’t have time to escape.“I just feel numb, but I’m glad my kids are out,” said Myriam Legramb, who was forced to leap from a second-floor window after lowering down her kids.The father said he first checked a door downstairs but realized that was not an option and decided to break a window.“I jumped out and I said to them throw, throw, you’ve got to jump!” he recalled, adding he caught his kids and “broke their fall as best I could.” All five of their children, including their 3- and 2-year-old, are safe a...

How Disney maneuvered to save its Florida kingdom, leaving DeSantis threatening retaliation

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:14:24 GMT

(CNN) — In his yearlong battle with Disney, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has repeatedly leaned on the element of surprise in his attempts to outmaneuver the entertainment giant and its army of executives, high-priced lawyers and politically connected lobbyists.“Nobody can see this coming,” DeSantis told a top Republican legislative leader as they planned a move against Disney last year, he recalled in his new book.But when Disney finally struck back and thwarted, for now, a DeSantis-led state takeover of its long-standing special taxing district, it was the Republican governor who was seemingly caught off guard. The same February morning Disney pushed through an agreement with the district’s outgoing board that secured control of its development rights for decades to come, DeSantis had declared to cameras and supporters, “There’s a new sheriff in town.”Now, weeks after DeSantis signed legislatio...
