Avs coach Jared Bednar says a “little mental break” could be good for goalie Alexandar Georgiev

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:15:05 GMT

The Colorado Avalanche began this season with a desire to play Alexandar Georgiev a little less after he carried so much of the workload near the end of last season, but the early-season schedule has allowed him to play every game so far.That streak of eight straight starts will end Wednesday night when the Avs welcome the St. Louis Blues to Ball Arena. Ivan Prosvetov, acquired on waivers just before the regular season began, is going to make his first start.Georgiev began the season with six straight wins, and still leads the NHL in that category. The Avs have dropped back-to-back games without scoring a goal, but the coaching staff saw a chance to finally give their No. 1 goalie a break.“We’ve discussed it over the last few starts, especially,” Bednar said after practice Tuesday. “At 6-0, you’re kinda like, ‘Well, this isn’t that taxing of a schedule.’ Then you get the extra day in Buffalo. But now I think his last two games probably...

There were 12,281 good reasons the Broncos didn’t blow up a last-place team at the NFL trade deadline, all of them as conspicuous in their absence from a stunning upset of Kansas City as no-show Taylor Swift.The crazy-rich Waltons didn’t spend $4.65 billion on a sports franchise, then double down on a bid for greatness with outrageous investments in quarterback Russell Wilson and coach Sean Payton, only to become a league laughing stock and look like football novices without a clue on how to succeed in the NFLWhile there were undoubtedly multiple factors why receiver Jerry Jeudy, linebacker Josey Jewell and a host of teammates rumored to be on the trade block are still here in Denver, there’s a whiff of unavoidable truth in the air.It smells as if the most loyal fans in sports have the Broncos running a wee bit scared.At no time in the last 50 years has our local NFL franchise held such a tenuous grip on Denver as a Broncos town, as evidenced by more than 12,000 empty seats in Empow...

House rejects effort to expel Rep. George Santos, R-NY

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:15:05 GMT

By Kevin Freking and Stephen Groves | Associated PressWASHINGTON — Rep. George Santos easily survived a vote Wednesday to expel him from the House as most Republicans and 31 Democrats opted to withhold punishment while both his criminal trial and a House Ethics Committee investigation proceed.The effort to kick Santos out of the House was led by his fellow New York Republicans, who are anxious to distance themselves from a colleague infamous for fabricating his life story and accused of stealing from donors, lying to Congress and receiving unemployment benefits he did not deserve.But the resolution failed to gain the required two-thirds vote. Supporters could not even gain a simple majority, with the final vote being 179 for expulsion and 213 against.To succeed, numerous Republican lawmakers would have had to break ranks with newly elected Speaker Mike Johnson, who has said Santos should get his day in court. Johnson, R-La., also recently told Fox News that if Congress is going to e...

House rejects move to censure Rep. Tlaib over Israel remarks

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:15:05 GMT

By Farnoush Amiri | Associated PressWASHINGTON — The House late Wednesday rejected an effort to censure Democratic Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, scrapping a Republican attempt to condemn the only Palestinian-American in Congress over her recent rhetoric around the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.A measure to move forward with a censure resolution of Tlaib, a punishment one step below expulsion from the House, was dismissed with broad bipartisan support as both parties raised concerns about violating First Amendment rights.A Democratic effort to in turn censure Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., who had sponsored the Tlaib resolution, was called off in response.The scheduled votes were among the House’s first acts of business after a nearly monthlong gridlock caused by the removal of Republican Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California as speaker.The agenda of retribution reflects the growing divisiveness of the House, where severe forms of punishment that had long been viewed as an option of l...
