Avalanche’s perfect start ends with a dud against Sidney Crosby, Penguins

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 08:21:55 GMT

PITTSBURGH — There were plenty of individual moments Thursday night that could accurately sum up the Colorado Avalanche’s first dud of the 2023-24 season, but let’s go with the Pittsburgh Penguins’ third goal of the night.The Avalanche, uncharacteristically sloppy with the puck and sluggish from the opening puck drop, turned it over in the neutral zone, which ignited one of several odd-man rushes for the home team. Defenseman Josh Manson hustled back to deftly break up a cross-ice pass and temporarily disarm the threat.But then he tried to handle the puck instead of just sweeping it out of danger, Radim Zahorna knocked it away from him into the slot and Lars Eller was there for a tap-in and one of the easier goals he’s ever going to score with a goaltender on the ice.That was Pittsburgh’s third goal en route to a 4-0 victory at PPG Paints Arena, ending Colorado’s perfect start to the season and its NHL-record 15-game regular-season road winn...

Two LoDo streets will be closed Friday and Saturday night in Denver

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 08:21:55 GMT

Sections of two streets in Denver’s Lower Downtown will be closed to vehicles on Friday and Saturday night so city officials can evaluate how it impacts crowds, congestion and crime.Market Street between 19th and 20th streets and Larimer Street between 20th and 21st streets will be closed to vehicles from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m., city officials announced Thursday.The idea to temporarily close the streets was sparked by residents and businesses asking for better management of crowds and vehicles and improved safety, Denver officials said in a statement.“Removing traffic flow and parked vehicles from these two blocks will also increase officers’ visibility of potentially dangerous or illegal activity occurring so that it can be quickly addressed,” city officials said in a news release.Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row, which was the scene of a shooting that injured five people in September, has helped connect area nightclubs and city officials, said Denver Police Department spokesper...

Kiszla: Nuggets’ championship ring shines with the love of a 55-year quest by a father and son

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 08:21:55 GMT

Every championship ring tells a story, and this one was a 55-year quest by a father who never got to the top of the NBA heap until his son took him there.While Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray flashed their shiny, new rings during a banner raising ceremony on Tuesday that nearly blew the roof off Ball Arena, maybe the coolest story of the night was told in the quiet tribute paid by Nuggets assistant coach David Adelman to his father.“When I got the ring, I immediately thought of how I won it for my entire family,” Adelman told me. “My Dad was a player, an assistant and a head coach in the NBA. He had a Hall of Fame career. But he never won a ring.”His first gaze at the dazzling jewels in Denver’s ring so rocked Adelman’s world that a wave of emotion carried him all the way back to 1990.Back then he was living every basketball-loving kid’s dream — a 9-year-old ball boy for the Portland Trail Blazers, doing chores in the visitors locker room, while walking in the shadow of Isiah Th...

A Ford Mustang was also hit. With the Alfa Romeo disabled on the side of the freeway, video recorded by a driver shows four men wearing dark clothing and masks jump out of the Caravan and swarm the sedan, grabbing items from inside. The victim was on his knees with his hands raised as steam billowed from the engine of his badly damaged luxury car. Video shared on Citizen shows a group of thieves rob the driver of an Alfa Romeo after a collision on the 10 Freeway in Los Angeles.

Sharks blasted by Lightning: Here’s what might have been the most concerning part

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 08:21:55 GMT

The San Jose Sharks game against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday night provided a clear snapshot as to where each franchise is at right now in terms of their expectations for this season.The Lightning have their sights set on advancing to the Stanley Cup Final for the fourth time in five years. The Sharks are in full rebuild mode, hoping they can be competitive again within the next two or three seasons.That stark contrast was on full display at Amalie Arena, as the Sharks were completely outclassed in a 6-0 loss to the Lightning, extending San Jose’s record losing streak to start a season to seven games.The Sharks allowed three goals in a lopsided first period and two more in the first 7:29 of the second before starting goalie Mackenzie Blackwood was mercifully pulled by coach David Quinn. Kaapo Kahkonen, who was slated to start Friday’s game against the Carolina Hurricanes, came in relief and stopped nine of 10 shots.Blackwood allowed five goals on 21 shots to five different L...

Buster Posey defends Giants owner Greg Johnson after ‘break even’ comments

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 08:21:55 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — Buster Posey, despite his status as part-owner, board member and newly minted local resident, wasn’t on hand Wednesday morning as the Giants introduced their new manager, Bob Melvin. He tuned in remotely, which meant he didn’t miss his partner in the C-suite, club chairman Greg Johnson, briefly interrupt the fanfare with a dose of reality and a splash of cold water.In between pledges to return to the postseason and promises to revamp the roster this offseason, Johnson, the son of majority owner Charles Johnson, was asked about money. The club hasn’t come close to returning to Bobby Evans-era spending levels since they handed the reins to Farhan Zaidi five years ago. Would they consider broaching the luxury tax threshold? Maybe for one year, maybe for the right player, Johnson said.“But,” he said, “we also represent a group that hopefully our goal is to somewhat break even, which is somewhat of a challenge in this business.”Jo...
