Florida back in Stanley Cup Final after taking advantage of matchups at home vs. Vegas

Published Sat, 01 Mar 2025 14:02:41 GMT

SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Before the puck dropped Thursday night for Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final, Florida Panthers coach Paul Maurice tipped his hand, at least a little bit.For the first time since the second round of the playoffs, Matthew Tkachuk’s line alongside Sam Bennett and Nick Cousins did not start. Vegas Golden Knights coach Bruce Cassidy already tabbed his shutdown trio of William Carrier, Nicolas Roy and Keegan Kolesar to open the game — the line that had shut down Tkachuk and Bennett so far.Despite saying earlier Thursday he “didn’t feel it was a matchup series,” Maurice abandoned his starting lineup for 11 games in a row in search of the best possible matchups to try to turn around the final. It took Tkachuk’s tying goal and Carter Verhaeghe’s overtime winner, but it paid dividends in Florida getting right back in the series.Each of the Panthers’ goals in regulation came with the players on the ice Maurice wanted: Tkachuk and Co. against Vegas’ se...

Published Sat, 01 Mar 2025 14:02:41 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Minor league players will have to wait a few more months to collect their lawsuit settlement from Major League Baseball because of four players challenging the deal.Payments to minor leaguers in the $185 million settlement of the suit alleging violations of federal minimum wage laws are being held up over an appeal filed by four objectors, who wish to reallocate $6.5 million of the $55.5 million currently specified for attorneys fees and pay that figure to “outside settlement class players.”Former minor leaguers Daniel Concepcion, Anthony Garcia, Sidney Duprey Conde, and Aldemar Burgos are challenging the settlement approved by U.S. Magistrate Judge Joseph C. Spero in March. They asked the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to decide in their favor.Spero ruled Wednesday the objectors have 45 days to submit to depositions with the lawyers who filed the suit.“Objectors’ counsel has repeatedly made the frivolous assertion that the appeal will not delay implementatio...

Directed by Eva Longoria, making her feature film debut after directing television for several years, “Flamin’ Hot” tells the disputed-by-some story of real-life figure Richard Montanez (Jesse Garcia, “Quinceanera”), a doting husband and father and uneducated maintenance worker (i.e., janitor) at Frito-Lay, who has a dream of a creating a spicy line of of Latino-aimed products. When we first meet Richard, he has very little going for him outside of his kids and his loving, supportive and hard-working wife Judy (the remarkable Annie Gonzalez). By a stroke of luck, Richard, who was raised in a migrant camp, lands a full-time job at Frito-Lay, which is part of the empire of PepsiCo CEO Roger Enrico (Tony Shaloub). On the Frito-Lay factory floor, Richard meets self-made engineer Clarence C. Baker (a worth-his-weight-in-gold Dennis Haysbert). Because his own father belittled him all his life, Richard has scant faith in himself, although Judy has striven to build his confidence up. ...

Franks: It’s worth noting when mainstream media gets it right

Published Sat, 01 Mar 2025 14:02:41 GMT

When the media does its job, it ensures that we have fewer instances when we look back and say, “What the heck happened?” Just take the case of New York Rep. George Santos. The media did not properly verify and vet his credentials until after he was elected to Congress. This was a “what-the-heck-happened” moment. Now his congressional district unfairly suffers a diminished presence in Congress as Santos defends himself in court against sweeping fraud charges.How about another example of the media failing us?It protected a man wearing a hoodie during most of his campaign for the Senate, following his stroke. With little media criticism they allowed Pennsylvania Democrat John Fetterman to participate in only a handful of debates and public appearances. The media refused to see that there was a problem here. Fetterman’s mental and physical health has been an issue even before he was sworn into the Senate. For a while he had spent more time in a hospital than on the Senate floor. While ...
