Jared Bednar on Avalanche’s recent losses to playoff teams: “We’ve got to want it more than we want it right now.”

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:41:59 GMT

The Avs are officially inside of 20 regular-season games remaining, and their record still doesn’t completely show that they’re one of the NHL’s most talented teams.They’re seven points back of the Central division lead with two games in hand — meaning three points back of Dallas in a best-case scenario.There’s little to no concern among players in the Avalanche locker room or among hockey watchers in the general public that Colorado is a playoff team with Stanley Cup potential. Yet the Avalanche (35-22-6) are also only five points ahead of Calgary, the first team outside of the Western Conference playoffs.More alarming than the playoff race itself at this point is what happens once Colorado gets there. The Avs’ recent stretch raised concerns, even with coach Jared Bednar, after four consecutive losses when facing teams in the playoff picture.“It should bother all of us,” Bednar said bluntly after a 5-2 loss to the Kings on Thurs...

Southern California hit with more rain; NWS warns of possible flooding

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:41:59 GMT

Yet another storm is hitting Southern California on Friday, and though there won't be nearly as much snow as two weeks ago, rain presents its own dangers.Steady rain is expected Friday and Saturday, prompting the National Weather Service to warn of possible "significant road/urban & small stream flooding." Interactive Storm Coverage “It won’t be one of those cold, wintery storms,” said KTLA Meteorologist Kaj Goldberg. “But nonetheless, we will see measurable rainfall.” The issue could be compounded by the relatively warmer rain falling on snow that has already amassed in San Bernardino County and other mountain communities in Southern California. The additional precipitation is likely to melt some of the snow, creating even more runoff, and in some cases, the rain might make the snow atop buildings even heavier, increasing the likelihood of roof collapse.With the ground already saturated from previous storms, the NWS warned the public to pro...

When Hollywood's biggest names walk head to the Oscars on Sunday, they'll notice something a little different. The normal red carpet has done a color swap and it's now a Champagne color. On Wednesday, crews rolled out the new color, but it will be still referred to as the red carpet. Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel was on hand to assist with the rollout.

Workers roll out the champagne-colored carpet for the 95th Academy Awards. March 8, 2023.This year's ceremony will be the third time Kimmel will have hosted.

Well, I size them up, and, if I’m bigger than they are, I beat the s— out of them on television. And if it’s the Rock, I run,” he said.KTLA 5's ...

DT Michael Pierce agrees to pay cut as Ravens continue to clear cap space

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:41:59 GMT

Ravens nose tackle Michael Pierce agreed to take a $2 million pay cut as part of a contract restructure that will give the team about $2.7 million in salary cap space.Pierce, 30, signed a three-year, $16.5 million deal to return to the Ravens before last season but played just three games before he had season-ending surgery to repair a torn biceps. He was a candidate to be cut as the Ravens clear cap space to accommodate the $32.4 million nonexclusive franchise tag they placed on quarterback Lamar Jackson.Instead, the Ravens will keep an interior run stuffer who was playing well before his injury last season. Pierce played his first four seasons in Baltimore before he signed a free agent deal with the Minnesota Vikings in 2020. Though he played at least 14 games every year during his initial stint with the Ravens, he has not played more than eight games in a season since 2019.Pierce could earn back much of his pay cut if he meets a series of incentives.In a previous move to clear ca...
