Wild fill assistant coaching vacancy, adding Jack Capuano
Capuano, 57, joins the Wild from Ottawa, where he was an associate coach for the past five seasons after a two-season stint with Florida. Before that, Capuano was with the New York Islanders for 12 seasons as a head coach, assistant and minor-league coach. Not only will Capuano team up with assistant Patrick Dwyer to coordinate the penalty kill, but Capuano will also oversee the defense; assistant Jason King runs the power play, which fared much better than the penalty kill last season. More changesThe Wild have promoted Cody McLeod to assistant director of player development after the former NHLer was a player development coach for two seasons. They also named Brian Grogesky assistant athletic trainer, Abe Edson assistant strength and conditioning coach and Dominic Hennig manager of team services.

Euro 2024: Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo turns missed PK tears into shootout ‘joy’
A game of epic personal drama and tears for Cristiano Ronaldo ended with his Portugal making the European Championship quarterfinals after beating Slovenia in a penalty shootout on Monday in Frankfurt, Germany. Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo Silva also scored for Portugal to seal the shootout 3-0 with two kicks to spare. Ronaldo looked apologetically to the massed Portugal fans behind the goal and put his hands together as if in prayer. “For me, it’s an honor to play on the same team.”The personal duel between Ronaldo and Oblak was compelling enough merely in regulation time. It was an intensely frustrating first 90 for Ronaldo, who was – remarkably – still looking for his first goal at Euro 2024.

Pakistan Rejects US Resolution as Intrusion
The National Assembly officially rejected “Resolution 901” on Friday, two days after the US House of Representatives vehemently endorsed popular concerns about the validity of our most recent general election. Things have gotten to the point where our officials don’t give a damn if Pakistan is seen as a divided country by the outside world. This impression would have been reinforced if the Treasury benches had publicly denounced those who abstained from voting in favour. Similarly, our publication has called for an open investigation of the most recent national election, but it feels that no one else can make that call save the citizens of this nation. The nation needs to learn how to function as a sovereign state because it has suffered greatly from international meddling.
