Modern accomplishments can foster hyperbole — but the Dallas Stars have legitimately never seen a player begin their season like Jason Robertson has. Since the Stars moved to Dallas, no other player has logged 29 points in the season’s first 19 games. Only Seguin (14 goals in 2014-15) and Modano (16 goals in 1993-94) have posted at least 14 goals in the season’s first 19 games. On Tuesday morning, Gurianov practiced on a line with Wyatt Johnston and Ty Dellandrea, and was on the second power play unit, replacing Nils Lundkvist. He has just one assist on the power play in 19 games.

They have only had 2.84 power plays per game. On Monday, the Stars killed five of the six Colorado power plays, including one in overtime after Mason Marchment was called for tripping Nathan MacKinnon. “Bottom line is you can’t put yourself in that spot against anybody, but particularly players like that that are going to get those calls,” Stars coach Pete DeBoer said. MacKinnon (29:51 total, 8:50 on the power play) and Mikko Rantanen (28:20 total, 9:36 on the power play) were other beneficiaries. “It felt like we didn’t get many power plays tonight and they were getting everything called,” goaltender Jake Oettinger said.

We all work in the family business our father started, all partners regarding finances, though my salary’s higher due to time spent on meetings, travel, negotiations, etc. She fought greedily in divorce court and came away with a share of my income that she didn’t deserve. She never attended a meeting, did no work for the business and indulged herself with expensive clothing and jewelry. Now, my love wants us to marry. Why doesn’t the brother just contact the sister when he can, and keep the wife and sister happy?

DOHA, Qatar (AP) — America’s top diplomat on Tuesday criticized a decision by FIFA to threaten players at the World Cup with yellow cards if they wear armbands supporting inclusion and diversity. Blinken arrived in Qatar on Monday, where he visited a youth soccer program tied to the World Cup. “We know that without workers, including many migrant workers, this World Cup simply would not have been possible,“ Blinken said. Iran is playing at the World Cup as well, and will face the U.S. on Nov. 29. “The world is rightly focused on what’s happening inside of Iran,” Blinken said.

On Nov. 16, the Western alum presented the Clissold Lecture at the university, with the title ‘The Autocrats Are at the Gate! “Following last week’s mid-term election results in the U.S., there is a feeling that democracy has dodged a bullet,” she said. The Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection was waving to people that systems in functioning democracies are fragile.”The presence of autocratic leaders, Off said, went against the foundational principles of democracy. “Most autocrats today do not have to send in the tanks to crush dissent or opposition. To understand the success of these leaders, Off said one must understand the fears and uncertainties fueling the feelings of their supporters.

Apple growers on Prince Edward Island are ending the 2022 season on a historic low, following storm Fiona. Damage from the storm has wiped out virtually all of this year's apple harvest, and with it, a decade of rapid expansion. Fiona knocked about "four million pounds" of apples off trees, according to Geoff Boyle, president of the P.E.I. About 20 per cent of the Island's half million apple trees were destroyed. Apple orchards take about five years to reach commercial production, and this was supposed to be the year that all those years of effort began to bear fruit.

Kim Klement-USA TODAY SportsWelcome – you’re currently reading Screen Shots, a regular THN.com feature in which we look at a few different hockey topics, and analyze them in smaller columns. Onward we go:– Bruins star center Patrice Bergeron reached the 1,000-point plateau in Boston’s 5-3 win over Tampa Bay Monday night. Since the 2008-09 season, Bergeron has had fewer than 50 points just twice, and both times, he appeared in only 54 games or fewer. – New York Islanders forward Cal Clutterbuck is now the NHL's all-time leader in hits, passing recently-retired L.A. Kings forward Dustin Brown with his 3,633rd hit in 951 career regular season games – and it took Clutterbuck 345 fewer regular season games to do so. It’s undoubtedly the proper move for tournament organizers to use monitors to enforce that message.

A newly released study by the Toronto Foundation suggests that after more than two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, people are participating less in community organizations and local politics.

It was lead by the non-profit Toronto Foundation and the Environics Institute, along with a host of other partners.
