Oilers will tweak their Power Play
The Edmonton Oilers’ power play has been the best in the NHL over the past three seasons. And I believe, and many people believe, that they switched styles to take away some of the strength of, we call ours the downhill power play, our style of power play. “The penalty kill has changed to hinder the downhill power play over the last year or two. But it isn’t just as simple as saying put McDavid and Draisaitl on the ice and the power play will succeed. He’s a distributor, he’s a facilitator of the power play and it’s probably the most important job because if he doesn’t get it to them at the right spots, you’ll see a lot of stalls and slow downs on the power play.

Basking in poll glory, Imran toughens line
"There is only one way [to rid the country of political instability]… free and fair election. Imran said that the PTI victory was “very auspicious time for the country”, as the countrymen had understood the ideology. It is contempt of SC's orders.”The former prime minister continued his trenchant criticism of the CEC Sikander Sultan Raja, calling him a "dishonest" person. Shaukat Tareen and I had forewarned that if our government was overthrown, the economic crisis will be unmanageable,” the former prime minister continued. They will invest if we get political stability and for that we need free and fair elections.”Reflecting on the by-elections victory, Imran said that no nation could progress without a philosophy.

NATO and the World
NATO is providing the organisational structure to devise, formulate and execute the new strategic concepts to that end. It further reckons China’s stated “ambitions and coercive policies” as systemic challenges to its interests, Euro-Atlantic and global security and values. Is NATO then undergoing a basic paradigm shift; graduating from a Euro-Atlantic regional alliance/organisation into one with global dimensions, ambitions and pretensions? In the current Ukraine war, the US is applying its well-known Strategy of Off-shore Balancing, yet again. Any kinetic war between two of the world’s mightiest military-nuclear-missile powers, technological giants and economic behemoths will unleash an unmitigated Armageddon on the entire world!
