Musty appeared in his first career AHL Calder Cup Playoff game BOX SCORE a monthly forum in which readers can ask me anything hockey related and I try my best to deliver an insightful answer Note: the questions below were lightly edited for clarity and brevity phonyspoon asks: If my Sharks win the draft lottery again I've heard of the offensive prowess of players like Michael Misa and James Hagens which finished last in 2024-25 with 52 points has a league-high 25.5% chance of landing the top pick in Monday's draft lottery Chicago (13.5%) and Nashville (11.5%) are the others with double-digit odds Schaefer's the obvious choice for two basic reasons the Canadian defenseman is arguably the best player in the 2025 class The Sharks already have a franchise center in 2024 first overall pick Macklin Celebrini get yourself a complementary cornerstone blue-liner Schaefer's an extremely intelligent player and elite skater who's capable of controlling the game like prime Drew Doughty The OHL sophomore hasn't played in months after breaking his collarbone at the December world juniors San Jose used its second 2024 first on defenseman Sam Dickinson Dickinson brings a little bit of everything to the table and projects to be a top-pair guy in the NHL is "one of the 10 best defensemen on the planet." His meh outcome Dickinson and Shakir Mukhamadullin are San Jose's only exciting D-men 22 or under right now whereas the forward group of the future is headlined by Celebrini (18) asks: When a trailing team has pulled their goalie and the leading team has a breakaway to score an empty-net goal why doesn't the trailing team's player on the heels of the puck carrier just tackle the guy That way the trailing team could bring their goalie back in for the penalty shot and at least have a chance of not giving up another goal but if the puck carrier's tackled under these circumstances The NHL's official rulebook lays it out clearly in Rule 25.1: A goal will be awarded to the attacking team when the opposing team has taken their goalkeeper off the ice and an attacking player has possession and control of the puck (or would have gained possession and control) in the neutral or attacking zone without a defending player between himself and the opposing goal and he is prevented from scoring as a result of an infraction committed by the defending team asks: What's the most common statistical trait of a Stanley Cup-winning team My best guess is playoff goaltending with a save percentage above .910 but perhaps that's not the most unique stat to review when considering playoff success The Stanley Cup winner has finished with a team save percentage above .910 in 13 of 19 seasons in the salary cap era Three others narrowly missed the cut: the 2013-14 Kings had a .910 SV% while the 2008-09 Penguins and 2018-19 Blues were .908 and .907 clubs A penalty kill rate of 80% or higher also correlates well Only four cap-era champions dipped below 80% (and the 2014-15 Blackhawks were at 79%) I think the strongest signal of a Cup champ is an ability to bounce back in the middle of playoff games All but four cap-era Cup winners were credited with at least four comeback wins during their respective runs Four comebacks is an average of one per round.) no matter how talented on paper and dominant shift-to-shift is bound to trail for stretches on the road to 16 wins Five champs averaged two or more comebacks per round: the 2005-06 Hurricanes (nine) Florida's the consensus Cup favorite right now The defending champs look unstoppable partly because nobody's counterpunch is as strong as theirs ebeck02893 asks: How do you foresee the new NCAA eligibility rule changing players' paths through the Canadian Hockey League 17-year-olds play in the CHL and all the best 18 or older players go to the NCAA or NHL I think there's no way the USHL doesn't get ruined by this Some context: the NCAA announced last November that it's lifting a longtime ban on players who've played major-junior hockey in Canada. As noted in the question, the landmark decision has opened the door for high-end teens to play in the CHL and NCAA A total of 133 players from the CHL's three leagues - WHL, OHL, QMJHL - have committed to American colleges, according to Sportsnet's signing tracker but keep in mind most of the commits are older and not considered serious NHL prospects Flames third-round pick Henry Mews is probably the biggest name to make the list so far While the amateur hockey landscape is changing I don't think "all" the best North American teens will follow the same path of Canadian junior at 16 and 17 and American college at 18 and onwards One NHLPA player agent with a few clients still debating next steps told me that while the eligibility change creates more options some players are simply far better suited for one of the routes and also may offer six-figure NIL deals in some cases "Most players on the fence are going to want to wait to see which NHL team drafts them before committing to any kind of change," the agent said "They want to get a feel for what their team thinks is best for their development." A major NCAA headline may soon be on the way the consensus top prospect for the 2026 NHL Draft The Canadian has nothing left to prove in junior after posting 1.8 points per game over three WHL seasons It makes sense for him to play his draft year at a major college like the University of Michigan ddoroy39224 asks: What's wrong with the Buffalo Sabres I like a lot of the individual pieces in Buffalo But they haven't clicked cohesively on the ice the roster ranks as one of the league's youngest The group desperately needs to add some useful veterans with playoff pedigree this offseason The Sabres aren't just in a rut; they've failed to make the playoffs for a record 14th straight year what GM Kevyn Adams said earlier this season is true: there are no palm trees in Buffalo and New York taxes are high The cap is going to rise exponentially over the next few years and Buffalo better flip the spending switch soon or the gap between it and playoff teams will further widen There are three ways

ranked the San Jose-San Francisco-Oakland metropolitan area among the nation’s worst for air pollution: 14th for ozone pollution 11th for short-term particle pollution and sixth for year-round particle pollution Unhealthy air is making Bay Area residents sicker damaging lungs and worsening respiratory illnesses such as asthma The impacts of worsening air quality disproportionately impact low-income Black and brown communities who are often left behind This alarming health risk demands strong and decisive action which contributes to the formation of smog These rules are necessary for achieving legally binding air quality standards that protect health and wellbeing They must be implemented affordably and on schedule to ensure cleaner air for all Bay Area residents and ensure households aren’t stuck with a polluting appliance for another 15 or 20 years That means more money for lifesaving medications or to put food on the table a trend likely to continue as more households choose to electrify The health benefits associated with greater heat pump adoption also come with cost savings Upgrading to heat pumps slashes health-harming air pollution that can worsen respiratory illnesses such as asthma Fewer visits to the doctor’s office or hospital room mean saving families money from costly medical bills homes in the Bay Area will begin the transition from polluting lung-damaging gas equipment to state-of-the-art more affordable future for families in the region A future in which every Bay Area resident and child can breathe clean air and live healthy Srinidhi

expensive to install because houses need to upgrade their electrical panels Old house weren’t built for this type of demand the fact is those funds run out quite frequently and plumbers are caught in the middle most electric heat pumps have a ready port for PG&E to dial down your usage If you’re looking at the numbers for Santa Clara county don’t forget SJC is right in the middle of the city which is horribly dirty and skews any number Oh but they will force us to move to electric I will not even mention the problems PG&E has with supplying electricity today let alone in 2027 Tankless should be an option along with electric heat pumps How much do they cost and if I have a gas stove and gas furnace do we also have to replace our water heater when the stove breaks down This could cost thousands and if you are not low income what do you do I feel the truck traffic running through my neighborhood at 280 and S 7th and Alma this will only increase traffic for us that live in poor neighborhoods Nobody talks about the pollution from Reid-Hillview airport and all the private planes that go and come and cause noise and air pollution Seems like someone is going to make money off of this and so many people are struggling right now My understanding is PG&E is working with our state to not give solar credit to schools and others because they don’t want to lose any profits so again

On3 is a registered trademark of On3 Media – Colorado forward Jayson Megna notched two goals and an assist while goaltender Trent Miner made 25 saves on 28 shots as the Eagles defeated the San Jose Barracuda 6-3 in Game One of their Pacific Division Semifinal Series Four different Eagles finished the night with multi-point performances with five different Colorado skaters finding the back of the net The Eagles dominated the battle on specialty teams finishing 2-for-3 on the power play and 3-for-3 on the penalty kill After shutting down the game’s first power play Colorado would go on to net the game’s first goal A bit of transition set up Megna to dish the puck to the slot where defenseman Calle Rosen hammered it home giving the Eagles a 1-0 edge with 3:44 remaining in the first period The Barracuda would go on to outshoot Colorado 12-6 in the opening 20 minutes but the Eagles would head to the first intermission still leading A power play early in the second period would allow Colorado forward Chris Wagner to slice to the top of the crease before deflecting a shot from the point into the back of the net putting the Eagles up 2-0 at the 3:02 mark Another opportunity on the man-advantage would lead to another goal as Megna swatted a rebound in the crease past goalie Yaroslav Askarov extending Colorado’s advantage to 3-0 with 12:41 still to play in the middle frame San Jose would then flip the script on the penalty kill as forward Filip Bystedt capped off a shorthanded breakaway with a wrister from the slot trimming the deficit to 3-1 at the 8:25 mark of the second stanza A delayed penalty against the Barracuda would allow Eagles defenseman John Ludvig an opportunity to light the lamp with a shot from the top of the right-wing circle giving Colorado a 4-1 lead with 2:05 remaining in the period Still trailing 4-1 as the puck dropped on the third period San Jose would inch back when forward Collin Graf buried a shot from the right-wing corner slicing the Eagles advantage to 4-2 at the 13:16 mark With Askarov on the bench in favor of the extra attacker Barracuda forward Collin White would capitalize when he beat Miner from the slot with a wrister pulling the score to 4-3 with 2:19 still left to play Askarov would again head to the bench to bring out an additional attacker but it would be Colorado who would take advantage with an empty-netter from Megna at the 18:29 mark and fellow forward Tye Felhaber just 1:01 later The Eagles will be back in action when they take on the San Jose Barracuda in Game Two of the Pacific Division Semifinals on Sunday May 4th at 7:05pm MT at Tech CU Arena in San Jose Playoff tickets are on sale now and can be purchased at ColoradoEagles.com or by calling or texting the Eagles ticket office at (970) 686-SHOT San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan is endorsing Anthony Tordillos in the upcoming runoff election for the District 3 seat on the City Council “I look forward to helping him over the next 53 days and I’m excited to see him assume that seat,” Mahan said Friday “We may have different emphases on exactly which lever is going to move the needle faster but I actually think that’s a feature Mahan said he hoped to build a coalition in City Hall centered around more data technological advances and less “ideology.” “I truly do believe we are building a coalition,” Tordillos said Friday. “We also share a belief that elected officials need to be held accountable for delivering results as they progress, and that just like in the private sector, elected officials shouldn’t be given automatic pay raises.” A tech worker with Google by day and chair of the San Jose Planning Commission by night, Tordillos fashioned his political campaign as a white-collar worker continuing the legacy and dreams of his working-class family background Tordillos’ role as planning commission chair is overseeing the first line of approval for many of San Jose’s largest housing proposals — most of which he has supported He told San José Spotlight he shares Mahan’s sense of urgency in building up the city’s temporary shelter capacity But housing advocates have been concerned the prioritization of “interim housing” in San Jose could lead to an indefinite redirecting of funds meant for permanent affordable housing “Sometimes that (focus) aligns with the mayor But my commitment to a D3-centered agenda hasn’t wavered and it won’t,” she told San José Spotlight fueled by the trust and support of residents across the district.” Tordillos will face off against Chavez-Lopez in a June 24 runoff election Original story published May 2 at 8:35 a.m Contact Nick Preciado at [email protected]. Contact Vicente Vera at [email protected] or follow @VicenteJVera on X Anthony Tordillos didn’t abruptly move into the district once it became apparent that a seat in D3 would become open Gabby Chavez-Lopez is an opportunist carpetbagger Gabby bought a house & moved to District 6 in 2022 she should have run for the District 6 seat in 2024 While the difference between the two mayors’ style and competence is glaring Mahan’s endorsement will result in casting the notorious curse of Chuck Reed on Tordillos > “Mayor Mahan and I don’t agree on every issue we share a belief that data should drive policy discussions and elected officials should be evaluated by the results they deliver on housing homelessness and crime,” Tordillos previously told San José Spotlight so obviously we make smart choices based on evidence” messaging LOOK at Mahan’s actual tech experience — did he ever invent anything that actually brought any value to anyone or did he create a failed app in the early 2010’s when it was en vogue to do that kind of thing and everyone just agreed to treat it like he was a successful entrepreneur Mahan got a scholarship to a Harvard feeder school for boys based on his uncle and pretty much all of his life has been him riding on the prestige that those circumstances of birth afforded him If Tordillos looks at this guy and relates to him maybe he’s not as impressive of a guy as I first thought I was wondering whether Tordillos was a potential counter to Mahan’s techno-fascist approach to the many social problems in San Jose one of the biggest being the issue of housing for the unhoused But his cozying up to Mahan and the “we SV types” is a real eye-opener and a reason to look a lot more carefully Too many people have tried to benefit from the Silicon Valley “brand” without looking under the hood or even demonstrating that they have any critique of the negatives of Silicon Valley (and there are many.) Tordillos just dropped several notches in my estimation If he was politically more critical and if he had more leadership capability thank you” to Mahan and he could have done it without burning too many bridges Like Gabby wouldn’t have taken the Mayor’s endorsement if he offered it to her You must be logged in to post a comment 408.206.5327[email protected] San José Spotlight is a project of the

approximately 15.6 acres The planning commission will review the project again at a later date once its environmental review is finished before the development heads to Town Council Commissioner Rob Stump wanted to ensure developers didn’t go back on the promised affordable housing if the town council approves the project — a sticking point for the commission because previous proposals included more affordable homes The well-heeled town doesn’t have many affordable housing options The average annual household income was $207,891 between 2019 and 2023 “We need more affordable housing,” Stump said at the meeting Wouldn’t it be great if it could yield a few more Grosvenor senior vice president of development of American properties said the developer included as much affordable housing as possible while keeping the project financially feasible “My hopes are that we can start as soon as possible and get housing built and delivered to town,” Buster told San José Spotlight “There’s definitely a need for renters and for new buyers and new owners that want to live in Los Gatos The project site is a prime development location in Los Gatos’ housing plan The town must build nearly 2,000 homes by 2031 to comply with state mandates 847 of which must be affordable to low-income residents A few residents voiced concerns about the effects the development could have on the surrounding neighborhoods at the commission meeting but more than a dozen people spoke in support of it That support was largely because of the affordable housing for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities Los Gatos resident Katherine Mancuso said she’d love if her 28-year-old son He’s lived in a supportive apartment in Santa Clara for about a year But he doesn’t drive and Mancuso wants him closer to his support network Pamela Emanuel lives in one of those homes and supports the second phase of development She said more affordable housing creates more opportunities for Black and brown residents like her to move there and diversify the predominantly white town She’s been part of the community for 20 years and couldn’t afford to live in Los Gatos without the affordable apartment “(It’s) total relief… knowing that I can be able to afford to pay my rent and not have to move out of the community that I’ve raised my kids in all these years,” Emanuel told San

Gary Snyder who said he only needs to wave his hand to workers at the counter to place his regular order of two mustard dogs “I’ve been coming here for over 40 years,” he told San José Spotlight but the employees are what keeps me coming back — there are some wonderful people here.” Not much has changed at the 23-seat diner since it first opened.

The 20 staff members were put on administrative leave last month, according to NPR Gutting the Interagency Council on Homelessness provides one less way for local governments to receive information from the federal government, Ray Bramson, chief operating officer of Destination: Home and San José Spotlight columnist “There is an assault on housing first,” Tristia Bauman directing attorney of housing at Law Foundation of Silicon Valley “What that assault seems to look like is … not only has housing first failed and we should use our resources otherwise but (Trump’s policies) also include a really strong criminalization component and divestment of housing solutions.” Contact Joyce Chu at [email protected] or @joyce_speaks on X Housing first has been shown to be completely ineffective the way it’s been implemented todate We must get people into treatment centers and off the street then into temp and permanent housing It completely illogical to do it the other way(current) way There isn’t an assault on Housing First There is simply a growing acknowledgment that the model just doesn’t work for certain subpopulations – particularly those with severe mental illness and addiction who need actual treatment – not an empty apartment and a HomeFirst case manager the elderly and those with intellectual disabilities where affordability is root cause of homelessness The County Behavioral Health system needs to step in and step up for the thousands who need actual treatment and Housing First vouchers/options should be prioritized for families elderly and those without severe mental illness/addiction This is glaringly obvious for those of us who live downtown and in other impacted areas – not so much for those living out of impacted areas who have been parroting the same ideas for 15+ years You must be logged in to post a comment 408.206.5327[email protected] SAN JOSE BARRACUDA (36-26-5-4, 81 pts., 6th PAC) vs. COLORADO EAGLES (43-21-5-3, 94 pts., 1st PAC) FRI, MAY 2, 2025 | 7:00 PM | TECH CU ARENA |  SAN JOSE, CA Familiar Face: Eagles defenseman and former Sharks/Barracuda blueliner Jacob MacDonald had a record-breaking 2024-25 campaign, scoring 31 goals—the most by a defenseman in the AHL’s 89-year history.

He also ranked second in shots (197), shooting percentage (15.7%), and fourth in power-play points (23). MacDonald was named the league's Eddie Shore winner as top defenseman.

a pivotal short-handed goal this looked like a game that Barracuda special teams might be responsible for losing They had already given up a Calle Rosen power play goal and the Cuda power play was 0-4 up to this point including blowing a double-minor PP to start the second period And they were in the midst of killing a Luca Cagnoni cross-checking penalty Pavol Regenda made an outstanding individual play taking the puck from ex-San Jose Sharks defenseman Jacob MacDonald this year’s Eddie Shore Award winner for the AHL’s best blueliner — FloHockey (@FloHockey) May 5, 2025 That’s what [PK coach Louis Mass] wants from us “We were lucky that Whitey was right there because my breakaways this year are not really good.” Instead of being down 1-0 or worse headed into the final frame Regenda has been an under-the-radar great acquisition by Barracuda GM Joe Will acquired from the San Diego Gulls in January for Justin Bailey in his first pro playoff action in North America has become a net

“Beet juice which is more than even Shore Award winner MacDonald Ahcan was helped off the ice during the first intermission but an Ahcan injury could be a series-changer San Jose had a 16-14 Home Plate Shot Attempts edge Colorado thumped them in that scoring chance category So Askarov still had his work cut out for him a testament to his importance to the Barracuda in all situations Barracuda head coach John McCarthy didn’t rule out Thomas Bordeleau and Andrew Poturalskil traveling to Loveland with the team tomorrow but McCarthy didn’t rule out a return for either in this series Top San Jose Sharks prospect Quentin Musty impressed in his AHL playoff debut using his size and skating to be a constant forechecking pest in his 11:29 of playing time “He’s an important part of our organization and wanted to expose him to a playoff game,” McCarthy said has an ability to finish which was the thinking behind putting him in.” McCarthy also had lots of praise for Walker Duehr who stepped in for healthy scratch Ethan Cardwell While the power play only went 1-for-6 — they’re 2-for-18 in the playoffs so far disappointing for the top PP in the AHL — Collin Graf saw signs of life “That first power play really set the tone for us So while they struggled at times until the Gushchin winner their revival could be a difference-maker in this series leading both teams with 11 shot attempts and hitting a crossbar too but the Barracuda did a better job of protecting him than they did in Game One “Making sure that we didn’t give them any easy offense [with turnovers].” Collin Graf

Bailey did in the couple games I saw him in earlier in the year Curious if he’s an AHL lifer or if he might ever get a shot in the NHL Two big days in a row for the future of the franchise featuring Quentin Musty in his first ever pro playoff action Leave work early and get your teal margaritas ready Don’t forget Askarov with the win in OT Definitely another good reason to sip a teal marg Every game this team plays in the playoffs is investment in the Sharks future but that bad decision on the PK in game 1 — I guess that needed a message Good that this team is competing well against a very good Colorado team Guys like Cagnoni and Graf need to experience the dog fight of AHL playoff hockey Guys like Giles and Askarov can build on AHL playoff success as major steps towards an NHL career He’s made some questionable decisions coming out of the rebuild but it feels like he’s a casualty of the divisional playoff format to some extent They’ve effectively stalled (something the Sharks must avoid) credit to their players and coaching (though that bad challenge was so costly in the series) More competitive than the roster would suggest Kopitar and Doughty will start to really age and I’m not sure the next generation is going to be enough Even if Byfield and Clarke are going… Read more » they’ll have to make a significant play to add talent on the open market as a result Never great to be doing that from a position of genuine need the Sharks are probably going to get a firsthand lesson in that reality this summer when they’re trying to revamp the defense They’ll want to be in Marner bidding Their cap space is going to be a challenge at least one good asset might need to leave in order to pull that off I’d disagree and say the kings should have and would have won that series with different coaching and his decision to turtle and shorten the bench gassed out and killed his team Oilers took some games to gel and they missed the boat due to his coaching decisions That’s my take on that series anyway I don’t think GMs who get the job on the basis of being the best former player for the same team who wants the job tend to be in demand Mostly because all the other teams are giving their jobs to the best retired player they have who wants the job Can the Sharks know their lottery spot before the 3rd overall pick is revealed depending on certain events which happen earlier

implementation” at Mercedez-Benz Stadium in Atlanta Some stadiums are in need of repairs separate from the World Cup, such as NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, where the Houston Chronicle reported the Harris County Sports and Convention Corporation is spending $35 million on a new roof including the World Cup and the 2028 Olympics and Paralympics Victor Matheson, professor of economics at the College of the Holy Cross, questioned the justification for some expenditures. For example, Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts is privately owned by the Kraft Group, and the Boston Globe reported that World Cup Boston 2026 host committee is looking for $170 million from local governments and private investors is skeptical they’ll get the full cost from government funding as the state has been reluctant to use public money to fund private events “There’s no reason that a $5 billion nonprofit company from Switzerland should be receiving a bunch of handouts from Massachusetts taxpayers,” Matheson told San José Spotlight a Temple University professor who specializes in sports economics said he isn’t against government spending on mega sports events so long as officials are honest about the real benefits hosting brings thousands of people from around the world for entertainment and fun — not a large economic boost “A dollar spent on one thing is a dollar not spent on another,” Knecht told San José Spotlight “If you’re going to spend a dollar on the stadium that’s a dollar not spent on police or schools.” Contact B.

and he keeps going back to it How about stick to ideas that have at least a snow balls chance in hell of happening As far as big UFAs Wilson just missed out on Niedermeyer and Shea Weber were both players Wilson made a huge push to sign as UFAs There have been others but those were 2 of the biggest other than Tavares Looks like Neidermayer wanted to play with his brother and Weber signed the biggest albatross contract in league history so I can live with missing out on those two guys The money is going to be silly this offseason but it’s not getting any less silly in the future and I think today’s silly numbers are going to seem tame two years from now which is why something silly like 7/$16M AAV for Marner is something the team can do I would go after Marner and trade Eklund for Defensive help That is a really tough first round match up…think maybe the next level might also be/been the roster construction since playoff/contention phase…the PLD saga Another way to view the Sharks rebuild is to look at the teams we need to dislodge on the way to the top The Kings are probably the first team on that list the Avs and Stars are two teams that absolutely annihilated the Sharks this year and I thought they were two of the top 5 teams in the league (both better than Edmonton) The Avs are now going home with nothing but questions and they have peak MacKinnon and Makar especially if it’s like a 6-7yr x $8-10M I’ll let the people who get paid to make those decisions figure it out Bennett and Dahlin or Dobson would be my dream off season Brock Boeser is exactly the type of player you don’t sign if you’re Mike Grier right now I don’t follow him enough to have an opinion like a 5yr by 8mil was offered but sounds like he will leave Vancouver I do wonder if the

starved for scoring will give him big term and money There are so many better options for the Sharks which IMO is not what a team should add at the early stages of a build Yeah he wasn’t really on my want list but the Sharks may have to sign a guy like this if they really want to improve Hard no IMO on Boeser(too one dimensional – we already have Toffoli in this role) and hard no on Marner (not a good fit for the Sharks – we need more size – we have the skill) We just need a top six fill in for the next two years that is defensively responsible and can put up 50 – 60 points (i.e On the D-side we need a two top line D-men Bottom four can be filled out by Shakir – Liljegren and Cagnoni – Desjarnais Top line needs a stud anchor like Dobson or Dahlin Marner is fine (highly unlikely) if you’re also trading Eklund for defensive help Marner is likely light years better than Eklund will ever be next season is likely a failure if Cags is an NHL regular Getting Dickinson ramped up needs to be a major priority Also but re-signing him just means the team is basically as good as January I happen to think the Sharks could get it done with Marner because he wants money and the Sharks have money

for coming in stronger next season This was a serious situation and you are just being an ass It’s a real consequence of the issue He’s focusing on the wrong “issue” when an injury like this could be career threatening But Willy Eklund thanks you for your concern He’s gonna heal faster because you’re keeping everyone in the comments at SJHN focused on the right “issue” You definitely have revealed who you are w/ your silly bullying efforts It’s established that Ek isn’t in any long term jeopardy Not terrible to lament that he won’t have a normal summer getting stronger No different than the people who said the same about Shaks injury When someone shows you who they are believe them Moronic response to what could have been and could still be a major injury to a young man Hoping for a full and fast recovery for Eklund I really hope he’s ok and has a smooth recovery Didn’t Evander Kane get a similar injury and missed a considerable amount of time I’ve seen Evander Kane get his wrist cut open in a game it was still shitty to see happen to someone But thankfully he recovered fully after surgery and it doesn’t seem to affect his game so hopefully Eklund makes a quick recovery and gets back to hockey with no lasting ill effects as well A buddy got his wrist slashed during a game and you could see the tendon sticking out Good sign for Eklund that the ice wasn’t instantly covered in blood Idk from that club they put in him it looks like he had surgery Must be a clean cut and they got everything reattached for him to say he’s going to be ok The Sharks ordered ASPIDA A9 wrist protection which is the highest NHL rating He wasn’t wearing any cut protection At that level and full contact it should be mandatory Silicon Valley school district educators and politicians are emphasizing how federal funding cuts will hurt vulnerable students and lead to a loss of teachers Liccardo and congressional Democrats are challenging the executive order to eliminate the U.S Department of Education and a proposed $330 billion in cuts to key educational programs over the next 10 years “Rosemary Elementary has a very effective program for special needs students,” Liccardo told San José Spotlight “Pulling the rug out on this kind of opportunity for children is just criminal.” Viramontez said the loss of federal funds would affect the district’s general budget as about 9% comes from the federal government about 34% of the budget comes from federal dollars aiding English language learner students and students with disabilities Students with disabilities make up 9% of the student population and 81% are socioeconomically disadvantaged “It’s impacting our most marginalized students the most,” Viramontez told San José Spotlight “Our special education budget is $26 million right now so that would have a pretty significant impact on us.” Viramontez said the district provides a preventative “We don’t have enough funding as it is,” she said The idea of losing what we currently have … we can’t tolerate that We can either invest wisely in developing the students so they have skills to be productive contributing citizens or we can deprive that system and then … we’re going to have to pay in a big way on the back end.” Clark said in addition to funding cuts to Head Start Title I and school nutrition programs are threatened due to their sizable budgets “This is a school that is heavily reliant on Title 1 funding,” Clark said The difference that can make in a child’s life … in a family’s budget We should be adding more funding … not taking it away.” a kindergarten teacher at Rosemary Elementary School said the loss of federal funding could mean losing reading specialists instructional aides and special education staff who support children with learning disabilities and provide behavioral support and speech services president of the California Teachers Association said cuts to Department of Education programs affect 800,000 special education students statewide hundreds of thousands of students who rely on free lunch programs and $2.1 billion in Title I grants California receives about $16.3 billion in federal funding including $1.33 billion for students with disabilities It’s a whole ecosystem of programs,” he told San José Spotlight Special ed students are not going to get the services they need.” Goldberg said the threatened loss of $600 million in federal teaching training grants and other financial help for teacher candidates could cause a shortage “It’s going to be harder and harder to fill positions if you cut these programs that are targeted to bring people into a profession that is already underpaid,” he said “We’re going to continue to push on the federal government to stop creating … this constant threat of cuts that is just devastating public education It leads to people leaving this profession.” Contact Lorraine Gabbert at [email protected] You must be logged in to post a comment

an Ethan Cardwell area pass into the middle of the ice that Wyatt Aamodt stepped in front of penalty killers Cardwell and White jumped out on what appeared to be a 2-on-2 attack the San Jose Sharks prospect made an ill-advised cross-ice pass to White that a backchecking Jack Ahcan intercepted with ease a now-disorganized PK couldn’t pick up Jacob MacDonald’s shot from the high slot which Chris Wagner tipped home to make it 2-0 these weren’t the only examples of the Barracuda not valuing the puck tonight There were too many three-quarter ice pucks that they were able to transition fast [on the counterattack] That’s the strength of their team,” head coach John McCarthy said “Have a little more composure with the puck Take better care of it through the neutral zone.” This was a veteran

Speaking postgame, McCarthy emphasized urgency, discipline, and belief in his group. “It’s May, it’s playoffs. We can’t be having these breakdowns now,” McCarthy said. Despite a strong start in terms of puck possession, the Barracuda struggled with execution and gave the Eagles too many high-quality chances. McCarthy made it clear that the team didn’t come into the game just hoping to compete, it expected to win.  “We’re coming here expecting to win the game. We know what we can do in that locker room, and we gotta come out and show it on Sunday,” he stated.  A recurring theme in McCarthy’s message was the importance of building momentum one shift at a time, especially when trailing. “When we go down four-one, you’re not going to score three goals in one shift,” he explained. “It’s got to be more. You go out, you win your shift. Next line over the wall, they win their shift. And you build momentum that way.” Discipline, or the lack thereof, was another area of focus. With the team taking untimely penalties and giving up two power-play goals, McCarthy didn’t hesitate.  “Stay out of the penalty box. Take better care of the puck, line changes,” he said, underlining the small details that can swing tight games. McCarthy’s tone reflected the stakes of playoff hockey. Something that seemed heading into another tie turned into exciting victory a 17-year-old defender who logged her first pro goal with an header in stoppage time San Diego Wave defeated Bay FC 2-1 at Snapdragon Stadium in a game literally determined in the last play María Sánchez hit a clinical corner onto Kennedy Wesley's head and from the beginning it was clear what San Diego had come to do: attack and finished low into the bottom right corner with no chance for keeper Kailen Sheridan It was the second goal of the season for Lema and the first assist for Kundananji her second direct goal involvement in two games Wave responded immediately. Perle Morroni hit the post with a strong shot at 20 minutes after a loose ball on the box edge. Six minutes later, the home team could go ahead once more after a penalty was awarded inside the area. Sánchez stepped up, but Jordan Silkowitz made the save. It was her first NWSL penalty save and she becomes the dozen goalkeepers in league history to save their first penalty against them A score there would have totally changed the character of the game Bay FC threatened again with a ball crossed by Alyssa Malonson with Wave having a slight attacking ascendancy though the other team's defense held up San Diego had possession at 60% throughout the entire match but was unable to turn this domination into tangible scoring chances Only two shots on target were available for the second half The visiting side also seemed content to be held by the draw since Wave's invasion was stemmed by it and counter-attack attempts were attempted through Kundananji and Lema Wave was trying to make space through switches and combinations on the other side Delphine Cascarino hit the right post and nearly had the winner San Diego was saved by the woodwork for the second time the match's final ball came after a corner kick by Kenza Dali headed it higher than anybody and in to seal the win © 2025 Minute Media - All Rights Reserved Betting and gambling content is intended for individuals 21+ and is based on individual commentators' opinions and not that of Minute Media or its affiliates and related brands The first half was fast-paced, with seeming opportunities for both teams. In the 30th minute, Bay FC threatened again with a ball crossed by Alyssa Malonson, but Lema couldn't clean up. The game continued lively to halftime, with Wave having a slight attacking ascendancy, with more time in the final third, though the other team's defense held up.
