The Blackhawks came out strong, but Detroit flipped the script in the second period and the Hawks were never able to recover. There were some very nice saves like this:Solid right pad save by Alex Stalock. Playing a Full 60The Blackhawks looked strong in the first period. They dominated the Red Wings in about every phase, and they had the United Center crowd (a bigger one than I expected) buzzing.

PML-N seeks public apology from Imran on cypher 'conspiracy'
Conspiracy was hatched indeed but it was hatched by Imran Khan himself against the country’s national interest,” she, flanked by other PML-N leaders and federal ministers, said while addressing a press conference in Lahore on Saturday. “He should seek apology from the nation for playing with the country’s national interest and waving a fake letter in front of them,” she added. Calling Imran a ‘mastermind of conspiracies’, the ruling party leader said the former premier severed the country’s ties with friendly countries. Senior PML-N leaders Sardar Ayaz Sadiq, Ahsan Iqbal, Marriyum Aurangzeb and other leaders attended the meeting, presided over by the premier.

GDB -4.0 Wrap Up: Vladar tries to steal the show, Oilers cash in 2-1 win anyway
My own jersey tastes aside, I was just happy that we got to watch the actual Oilers playing together for the first time. As for the game itself, I found myself engaged more than expected as soon as I saw the boys buzzing around in the offensive zone and Connor McDavid doing Connor McDavid things. In the end, the Oilers played mostly how I expected them to apart from having Calgary’s goalie stand on his head. It took Connor McDavid one shift before he did a Connor McDavid thing and that was enough for me to dub this game the most successful pre-season game by far, and I meant that without having seen the remaining 57 minutes. Why the hell would Darnell Nurse fight TWICE in a meaningless pre-season game against an AHL plug?

Share:The Foreign Office said on Friday that it was matter of grave concern that the Indian occupation forces had martyred five more Kashmiri youth in extra-judicial killings and fake encounters in Kulgam and Kupwara areas in the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) in the past week.
