Speaking to Richard Labbe of La Presse, Perno told of an offseason tailspin that began with a relapse in May. He said Ribeiro, who split last season between the Predators and their AHL affiliate in Milwaukee, is again separated from his wife and three children and “has not put on the skates once since the end of the season.” Retirement is likely.

Included in the apparent postgame team talk was reference to the Braves upping tensions in a hard-fought series, as well as some fired-up predictions for the NLCS and beyond. “The (Braves) started some s—," Shildt appeared to shout. “We finished the s—. And that’s how we roll. No one f—s with us ever.” As for what comes next for St. Louis? “I don’t give a f— who we play,” Shildt appeared to tell the players....
The Alliance of American Football announced Thursday that Singletary will become head coach of its Memphis franchise as the eight-team spring pro football league prepares to launch in February 2019. Singletary, 59, has pined for a return to the pro coaching ranks since his last NFL stint as a Rams defensive assistant in 2016. The Pro Football Hall of Fame linebacker last served as a head coach for the 49ers from 2008-10....
The 27-year-old joined the Stamford Bridge giants in June 2012 from French outfit Lille and has become an integral part of the team since his arrival at the club. In his first season, he won the Europa League title with the Blues and in the 2014-2015 season, he played a crucial role as the London club secured the Premier League and the League Cup. The former FWA Footballer of the Year and the PFA Players’ Player of the Year winner was also in handy as the Stamford Bridge outfit secured their sixth top-flight title....
While there’s no world championship belt at stake on Saturday, the WBC Diamond welterweight title is on the line and the winner in Frisco could take a significant step towards a world title bout later this year. A former four-division world champion, Garcia’s welterweight debut didn’t go as planned, as he lost by unanimous decision against Errol Spence Jr. in March last year. The American moved up two weight divisions to fight Spence but found life harder than expected and suffered a first loss in 40 professional bouts....
It has not turned out that way. If Milosevic lost the war in Kosovo, he’s clearly winning the battle for survival in the Balkans. Not only did he manage to pull his army out of Kosovo largely intact, he supplied his people with electricity through the winter. In fact, Milosevic has gone on a rebuilding spree. He boasts that his government has rebuilt 38 road and railway bridges (out of 64 damaged or destroyed during the bombing), 470 housing units, eight schools, five hospitals and two animal farms....
The Buccaneers recorded their first league defeat of the season when they lost 1-0 to Bidvest Wits in a PSL match at the Bidvest Stadium on Saturday. Gerald Phiri Jr netted for Wits in the first-half and Pirates dominated the second-half, but they could not score the equalizing goal. “We passed that ball and tried all possible means – right‚ left‚ through the centre – also creating and whatever," Sredojevic told the media....
But the mini-series captures the dark spirit of the times and the man. Like NBC’s 1978 mini-series “Holocaust,” it will reopen the debate about whether TV can treat so sensitive a subject without trivializing it. The latest production, like its predecessor, largely passes the test.
The walkout was triggered by a dispute over pay, class sizes and mental health support for students, issues that union members said they hadn’t reached an agreement on, the Associated Press reported. Greta Callahan, president of the teachers’ chapter of the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers, said Monday that they were going on strike “for the safe and stable schools our students deserve.” The strike in one of the state’s largest school districts came as neighboring Saint Paul Public Schools, which has about 34,000 students, narrowly avoided a walkout scheduled for Tuesday after announcing a tentative agreement Monday night, AP reported....
The Minneapolis City Pages reported that Franco, 31, and his alleged accomplice, 34-year-old Richard Joseph Wollenberg, were picked up by police while fleeing a house in St. Paul’s East Midway neighborhood. Police arrived after a neighbor had called 911 to report hearing breaking glass and seeing flashlight beams outside. The two men attempted to escape on foot, but officers quickly stopped them. Franco was captured by a K9 unit, after which he was taken to the hospital to treat his injuries....
Jay Johnson is flying a 50-foot-by-30-foot custom-made flag at his construction business in Buffalo, Minnesota, but his decision to do so is in violation of the law. City ordinance requires signs of that size to be licensed. Under the city code, signs with a sign area larger than eight square feet, like Johnson’s, must have a license and are subject to the time, place and size restrictions set forth by the city....
Sung tried to comply with a police dispersal order and leave the Hennepin County area while covering protests over the death of Daunte Wright, 20, who was shot by police at a traffic stop in Brooklyn Center on April 11, and attempted to identify herself with her CNN credentials, but to no avail, Walker wrote on Saturday. “Despite repeatedly hearing Sung identify herself as a member of the press and tell the troopers that the zip ties were too tight on her wrists, one trooper yelled at Sung, ‘Do you speak English?...
After making the jump up from the NASL, the Loons have put together a budget-conscious roster that does not have any designated players or big-name signings. Kevin Molino, acquired from Orlando City in the offseason, is the closest player on the roster to a marquee MLS name. Head coach Adrian Heath, who helped Orlando City make a similar jump from USL to MLS in 2015, will rely on several imports from smaller European leagues, some holdovers from the club’s NASL roster and a handful of MLS veterans to formulate Minnesota’s first MLS roster....
Yes, the Cubs’ affiliate in the Single-A Carolina League is running a promotion centered around “deflating” testicular cancer, a fun jab at the recent deflated-football scandal involving the Patriots. MORE: Headline puns | Poorly timed NFL Instagram picture | Best MiLB team name bracket The Pelicans will take on the Salem Red Sox, a Boston affiliate, which is not a coincidence at all. “In honor of the New England sports tradition, the choice of a night in which the Boston Red Sox affiliate was in town was the obvious choice for this night,” said Pelicans vice president Andy Molivich in the press release....
The extremely rare twins, a boy and a girl, were first discovered in January in the Samburu National Reserve in Northern Kenya. They were the first elephant twins to be born in the area for nearly two decades. Elephant twins form only 1 percent of all births. A mother does not usually have enough milk for two calves, meaning two at once can cause a strain. Normally, one, if not both, usually die....
A video shared on July 13, 2022, by an unverified Twitter account AZmilitary1, claims to be a video recording of a “black market” sale of several weapons provided to Ukraine by NATO. The 85-second clip features a black Volksvagen with an AA851EE license plate, which is zoomed-in on at the beginning of the video. Two men are briefly seen shaking hands, before one opens up the trunk of the car and uncovers what appear to be weapon cases....
You can go only so far with a property like “Mission: Impossible.” Listen to that famous Lalo Schifrin theme, which bangs open the movie. You’ve got to be faithful to that rhythm, the beat of a pop genre. De Palma and Cruise have done that, adding the extra juice that high tech can provide. Mission accomplished. The script, worked on at various times by hotshot writers Steven Zaillian (“Schindler’s List”), David Koepp (“Jurassic Park”) and Robert Towne (“Chinatown”), has the IMF (Impossible Missions Force), led by Jim Phelps (Jon Voight, in the Peter Graves role), rigging a counterplot in Prague to stop a Russian spy from swiping a computer disc listing all U....
Hosemann, 74, took part in the new three-month session that started at noon on Tuesday and spoke to reporters, most of whom were wearing masks, during his time in the building. His office said anyone who may have been exposed is being notified. He was not displaying symptoms but learned someone he was in contact with recently had tested positive, which led Hosemann to take a test late Tuesday, and he received the positive result Wednesday, spokesperson Leah Rupp Smith said according to the Associated Press....
“The director of the state health department announced more than a week ago that there were only two ICU beds available at that time. And now, the circumstance is even worse at this hour in terms of our available ICU beds,” Lumumba, a Democrat, told CNN in a Wednesday interview. “And I fear that as we’re seeing schools reopening and no plan that we have yet to see the worst,” the mayor said....
