Golden Knights raise Stanley Cup championship banner before season opener

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:16:30 GMT

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Golden Knights raised their Stanley Cup championship banner in the most Las Vegas way possible.Captain Mark Stone placed the Stanley Cup next to an oversized slot machine on the ice Tuesday night before the season opener against the Seattle Kraken and pulled the lever. Three Cups representing the jackpot came up, and then the banner began to emerge from the slot machine as the capacity crowd roared and players looked on just before they beat Seattle, 4-1.“It’s not easy, we had our ring dinner a few nights ago, went to the Raiders last night, so you get a lot of things going on in your life and you’re trying to enjoy what we accomplished but also prepare for a season so you try to balance both,” Vegas forward Jack Eichel said. “It’s an amazing experience to watch a banner go up and you want to enjoy every moment. But in the back of your mind, you’re preparing for a game as well.”Before the players came on the ice, a video played in T-Mobile Arena going through th...

Keir Starmer ‘bomb-proofing’ Labour pledges as he tries to unseat the Tories

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:16:30 GMT

Labour leader Keir Starmer said he’s “bomb-proofing” the party’s pre-election promises to the public, as he defended a lack of new policies in his big address to the U.K. opposition party’s annual conference.Starmer — who current polls suggest is on course to become Britain’s next prime minister — delivered a more personal address than usual to the party faithful on Tuesday.He touched on his background, aimed to tap into anxiety about the cost of living, and pitched Labour as offering hope after 13 years of Conservative government.But he faced criticism in some quarters for not offering more policy meat. Starmer promised a major shake-up of Britain’s planning system to spur housebuilding, but his speech was absent the traditional “rabbit out of the hat” policy moment party leaders sometimes use to add drama to a conference speech. The left-wing Momentum campaign group said Starmer had been relying on “vague promises of refo...

Or the refusal of some Americans to follow CDC orders to wear a mask out in public?Or is the greatest crisis facing the planet this news cycle angry parents complaining to their local school committees about transgender recruiting of kindergarten kids in the public schools?These are some of the non-issues that the Democrats have been trying to gin up their shiftless base with since January 2021, while simultaneously funneling billions of dollars in armaments and cash to Muslim terrorist states since ousting Donald J.
