Panthers throwing knockout blows to anyone in their path, on way to Stanley Cup Final

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 00:20:58 GMT

SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — They knocked out Boston. They knocked out Toronto. They knocked out Carolina.Jamie Kompon was not knocked out, despite Paul Maurice’s best efforts.Let’s explain: Kompon is an assistant coach for Florida under Maurice, who is in his first year as the Panthers’ head coach. Kompon made a key adjustment to Florida’s power play earlier in these playoffs, and it paid off when Matthew Tkachuk scored a power-play goal with 4.9 seconds left Wednesday night to give Florida a 4-3 win and cap a four-game sweep of the Hurricanes in the Eastern Conference finals.Everyone celebrates going to the Stanley Cup Final in different ways. Tkachuk dropped to his knees and slid across the ice, his arms outstretched. Goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky threw his arms skyward. Maurice walked to the other end of the Florida bench and punched Kompon in the ribs; it was a celebration, a unique one, but a celebration nonetheless.“I wanted to make sure he felt that one as much as I did,” Maurice said...

Provincia de Sumy, Ucrania (CNN) — En un alegre desfile de propaganda desvergonzada, los combatientes disidentes rusos que regresaban de una incursión en su país de origen aparecieron en Ucrania con un trofeo, un vehículo blindado ruso capturado, pero lucharon por apegarse a la explicación oficial de Kyiv de sus hazañas.Funcionarios ucranianos dicen que los combatientes estaban actuando por su cuenta cuando cruzaron la frontera rusa y dispararon contra ciudades rusas en la región de Belgorod a principios de esta semana, en una incursión de dos días que fue ampliamente catalogada en las redes sociales.No estaban actuando por su cuenta.Los miembros de la Legión Libertad para Rusia y el Cuerpo de Voluntarios Rusos, ambos compuestos por ciudadanos rusos que luchan en Ucrania contra su patria, están todos bajo el mando de las fuerzas de seguridad ucranianas.“¿Fue esta una acción independiente no coordinada con el Ministerio de Defensa de Ucrania, o les dieron instrucciones?”, le pr...

Target is being held hostage by an anti-LGBTQ campaign

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 00:20:58 GMT

New York (CNN) — During every Pride Month in June for the past decade, Target has sold merchandise for LGBTQ customers, employees and allies. But this year, Target faced an anti-LGBTQ campaign that went viral on social media.Fueled by far-right personalities and on social media platforms, the anti-trans campaign spread misleading information about the company’s Pride Month products and its business practices.Hurting brands’ sales and reputations was the stated goal of the campaign: “The goal is to make ‘pride’ toxic for brands,” said right-wing commentator Matt Walsh on Twitter. “If they decide to shove this garbage in our face, they should know that they’ll pay a price. It won’t be worth whatever they think they’ll gain.”The campaign became hostile, with threats levied against Target employees and instances of damaged products and displays in stores.That effectively held Target hostage: The company was forced to make an impossible choice to either safeguard its employees and stores...

Gabby Petito’s parents get ‘burn after reading’ letter from Brian Laundrie’s parents in civil lawsuit

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 00:20:58 GMT

(CNN) — Gabby Petito’s parents now have a copy of a letter Brian Laundrie’s mother wrote to her son, which included references to getting a shovel and burying a body.Attorneys for both sides argued in a Sarasota County, Florida, courtroom Wednesday over whether the letter is relevant to the lawsuit brought by Gabby Petito’s parents against Laundrie’s parents and the Laundries’ former attorney.The envelope containing the letter – which is undated – said “burn after reading” and was recovered from Brian Laundrie’s backpack when his remains were found in October 2021.“As we all know the letter references burying a body bringing a shovel and burying a body,” Petito family attorney Patrick Reilly said in court Wednesday. “Those are criminal acts, by the way, that Roberta Laundrie has said she would commit.”The Petitos sued the Laundries for emotional distress in connection with Gabby Petito’s death while traveling the Western United States with Brian Laundrie, her fiancé.

Britain’s Rishi Sunak just loves reading raunchy horse novels

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 00:20:58 GMT

LONDON — Tech bro. Numbers guy. Mega-fan of … horse-racing-themed romance books?U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak confirmed Thursday that he’s an avid reader of Jilly Cooper, the English author whose raunchy tales of romance and infidelity among horse riders and show jumpers have been best-sellers.In a mostly gentle grilling on the U.K. daytime TV favorite “This Morning”, Sunak was asked if he was “really into” Cooper’s books, as hinted at by an article in the Spectator magazine earlier in May.“Yes that is true,” a blushing Sunak said. “It is unclear how that has emerged.” Reeling off a list of Cooper’s titles, Sunak appeared unable to narrow it down to just one all-time fave: “Riders, Rivals, Polo, The Man Who Made Husbands Jealous, Appassionata — she’s done a lot of different books, but that is the set of books that I like,” he said.The front cover of “Riders”, an international best...

Frederick County teen Samantha Heyison, daughter of former Orioles draft pick, at top of world para athlete rankings

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 00:20:58 GMT

Routine matters to Samantha Heyison.On the days when she is set to participate in track and field meets, the senior at Urbana High drinks a red Gatorade in the morning and then a C4 energy drink in the afternoon. She has reined in her habit of eating a chocolate bar but always listens to Survivor’s 1982 hit “Eye of the Tiger.”“That might be a must before my Gatorade, my Snickers bar, my energy drink,” said Heyison, who lives in Adamstown in Frederick County. “That is the best song to listen to before a track meet.”The rituals are paying off for the 17-year-old Heyison. Despite being born with a clubbed left foot with all five toes partially amputated, a right foot with three toes fused together and a right hand missing two fingers, she will defend the state championship she captured in the discus throw last spring when the Class 4A state meet begins Friday at the Prince George’s Sports and Learning Complex in Hyattsville.Heyison’...
