ST. LOUIS - The Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk is taking place at Union Station, marking a celebration of courage and hope, as stated by the organizers. Those who register for the walk show their support for breast cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers. Making strides against breast cancer is more than just a walk. It's a movement to help save lives.  How many malls are still open around the St. Louis area? Jamie Zografos is proud to be part of this movement. She beat breast cancer eight years ago.  “I was 39. I was going in for breast augmentation because that's what you do when you're about to turn 40,” she joked. “I never had a mammogram, so it was my first mammogram that the surgeon wanted me to have before he did any work. “I was like, ‘Yeah, this is silly.’ But after the first mammogram, they said, 'Yeah, things don't really look how they're supposed to.'” After two years of challenges and complications related to surgery, she never ended up needing radi...

Avalanche Journal: Assessing Jared Bednar’s options for the rotating top-line spot

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:15:50 GMT

When everyone was healthy and available during training camp, the Avalanche forward lines remained exactly the same.Four games into the 2023-24 season, and Jonathan Drouin has already spent time on three different lines. The Avs won all four games, but that hasn’t stopped Colorado coach Jared Bednar from already doing some tinkering — and that’s been his plan all along.“I want to have some flexibility with our forward lines as we go throughout the year, depending on who we’re playing and what matchups we might see. So it’s a good time to experiment.”Drouin spent all of camp next to Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen on the top line, and they looked spectacular together on opening night in Los Angeles. But since then, the trio have looked great in spurts and struggled to keep possession of the puck at other times.Bednar said after camp that while stability was the thing to that point, he’s always been planning to move everyone in the top-nin...

To have moments like that as a flyhalf is...
