Avalanche Journal: Nathan MacKinnon vs. Mikko Rantanen. Who will finish higher in Hart Trophy MVP voting?

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 18:52:03 GMT

Leave it to the NBA talking heads to bicker about end-of-year awards. The NHL might have the most boring MVP race of this century.When a consensus generational player already armed with two Hart Trophies blows his own past seasons out of the water, the ballots might as well be set to default.Connor McDavid’s numbers have ascended into Gretzkian territory: 152 points, including 64 goals. The Oilers center is undeniable. But which Colorado Avalanche star will appear on more ballots: Nathan MacKinnon or Mikko Rantanen?That’s a brain teaser with a solution nowhere near as clear as the one between Edmonton teammates McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. Even Avalanche coach Jared Bednar was stumped when asked how he distinguishes between the two.“I’ve been asked this question a couple times already, and I can’t,” he said. “Because I’d have to go back down to give you the proper answer, and go, ‘OK, this game, he meant this.’ Kind of go th...

Kristof: How United States can avoid a war with China

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 18:52:03 GMT

In the summer of 1914, few wanted war or thought a major war was possible. My grandparents were married that spring in Lviv, Austria-Hungary, and I look at their giddy wedding photos and realize they had no clue that a cataclysm would soon erase their country, shatter their lives and eventually send a branch of the family fleeing to the New World.This year I sometimes worry that we’re again too complacent about the risks of conflict ahead. And perhaps the worst geopolitical risk over the next decade or two is a war with China. While neither side wants war, each now accepts that conflict may be looming and is preparing accordingly — driving suspicions on the other side and fueling an arms race.It’s time for both sides to take a deep breath and step back from rhetoric and symbolic jabs that rally nationalists at home but that also increase the risks of a global catastrophe. A reminder of the risks came on Monday when China responded to the warm welcome given in the United States to Ta...

Where to shop in the Bay Area for your fishing gear

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 18:52:03 GMT

Ok, it’s time to go fishing!Sadly, we can’t pursue our favorite king salmon this year. The fishery remains closed due to low counts of returning salmon to California’s river systems.Rockfish season opens on May 1 with no depth restrictions until October.  We should have fantastic rockfishing while targeting deep reefs that have lain unmolested for many years.Big halibut are already starting to bite on the flat sandy areas in 50-70 feet of water around the bay.Surfcasting for perch remains a little slow, but will heat up as the ocean temperatures rise.Also very exciting after this tumultuous winter of wind, rain and giant swells, we are seeing big schools of roving striped bass feeding up and down the shore of Monterey Bay due to the Pajaro and Salinas rivers getting a good flush after previous years of drought. The best striper bite so far has remained south of Moss Landing, but there have been a few pulses of stripers on the beaches near Capitola and Santa Cruz just this week.Boat ...

Review: ‘Mafia Mamma’ is bloody, tired and cliché-laden

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 18:52:03 GMT

By Jocelyn Noveck | Associated PressAt first, when suburban mom Kristin gets the mysterious call to head to Italy to settle the affairs of a dead relative, she protests she’s too busy. Then she realizes there’s not much keeping her: Her son is off to college, her job is dead-end, and her husband? He’s cheating with the school guidance counselor.So why not treat herself to a me-focused trip, a la Julia Roberts? Maybe an “Eat, Pray, Love” trip, muses Kristin (Toni Collette), to which her friend (Sophie Nomvete) replies that what she really needs, bluntly, is to “Eat, Pray, $%&$.”Soon that’s the slogan for her trip. It also would a great alternative title for “Mafia Mamma,” if they could get away with it. And really, they try to get away with most everything else.That includes some cringe-worthy slapstick, some Tarantino-level violence, and also every Italian stereotype you can imagine (Grape-stomping? Check. Gelato, gnocc...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 18:52:03 GMT

PAJARO — Following the April 3 approval of a Presidential Major Disaster Declaration for Monterey County, many services have been in place to assist with the Pajaro flood relief efforts. These were highlighted in a virtual news briefing hosted by the county Wednesday.One item unlocked by the declaration was funding by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Tiana Suber, FEMA media relations specialist, said nearly 300 people have visited the disaster recovery centers in Watsonville and Felton since they opened.“Most are coming to see what they are eligible for, and most are renters as well,” she said. “We offer rental assistance, but we offer temporary housing if they need some place to stay, if they’ve been displaced from their house.”Suber said displaced residents staying in hotels can be eligible for reimbursements for their stays.So far, Suber said FEMA has received 2,500 registrations related to the disaster. The agency has also deployed Disaster Survivor Assistance teams.“The...
