Two games into the season, Wild have injury, cap issues

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:58:44 GMT

The Wild flew into Montreal early Sunday morning in something of a bind, asking serious questions about a blue line that just days ago pitched a shutout against the Florida Panthers in their season opener.Before Saturday’s game in Toronto, Maple Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe told reporters that his team couldn’t expect a replay of the Leafs’ 6-5, season-opening victory over Montreal because the Wild play a tight defensive system. But it was anything but in a 7-4 victory over Minnesota at Scotiabank Arena.After watching his team struggle to contain star wingers Auston Matthews and William Nylander, among others, Wild head coach Dean Evason said his staff already was planning on making changes before Tuesday night’s game against the Canadiens at Bell Centre.The problem right now is the Wild (1-1-0) have few options, which is probably why Evason characterized the changes as “adjustments with our pairs.”Spurgeon, who suffered an upper-body injury when checked into the boards during a presea...

The culmination of a conference on antisemitism in South Eastern Europe was a visit to the site of the Second World War death camp at Jasenovac in Croatia. But delegates had gathered in Zagreb with their thoughts dominated by the brutal terrorist attack on Israel a few days earlier, writes Political Editor Nick Powell in Zagreb.The Managing Director of the European Jewish Association, Jorgos Papadakis, opened the conference by declaring that the decision to go ahead at a time of “unfolding tragedy” in Israel showed strength and resilience, as well as support for “our brothers and sisters”. The Israeli Ambassador to Croatia, Gary Koren, said it was an opportunity to stand with his country and its right to self-defence in a war “waged upon us by the terrorist organisation Hamas … with the blessing of the Iranian regime”.The Ambassador said Israel had “no choice but to fight Hamas, to obliterate Hamas”. His country was attacking military targets, as defined in international law. “Israe...

My grandfather was from here, lived in France because of (former dictator Gen. Francisco) Franco, and I just really thought about him on the course today and it was really hard to keep the tears inside, but now I can just let them go a little bit.”Pavon, runner-up to Rahm last year in the Spanish capital, held off second-place Zander Lombard (64) and finished five shots ahead of Nathan Kimsey (67)...
