“My grandfather passed away yesterday morning, so this was a special game for me. Maybe he was watching out for me, having the puck follow me around,” the forward said after the Boston Bruins beat the Buffalo Sabres 2-1 on Saturday night. “He was probably laughing after that first goal was disallowed,” he said. David Backes also scored and Tuukka Rask stopped 31 shots for the Bruins, who posted their fourth straight victory....
The press service of the company “Concord,” owned by Prigozhin, issued a statement after police on Wednesday detained a suspected deserter who fired at police officers in the city of Novoshakhtinsk in the Rostov region, near the Ukraine border. He opened fire on police officers with a machine gun, wounding one, before fleeing. Baza, a Russian Telegram channel that regularly posts information about security issues within the country, identified the gunman as Pavel Nikolin, a convict who was recruited by the mercenary outfit for President Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine....
The 12-game winner spent part of the first day following the All-Star break explaining his comments after the retiring Yankees shortstop doubled off him in the first inning Tuesday. Wainwright said he made a poor choice of words describing the at-bat against a player he called “the Michael Jordan of baseball” for the last 20 years. He accepted responsibility for the resulting furor he says was fueled by the “Twitter-verse” that marred his experience....
Hot Pickup: James Jones, OF, Mariners. Jones has zero HRs and eight RBIs in 200 at-bats this season, so this might seem like an odd choice, but since the start of June, he’s hitting .304 with 17 runs and 12 SBs – 10 of which have come in the past two weeks. Obviously, Jones is an extreme example of a three-category player, but he’s doing all three things very well right now while getting regular at-bats thanks to a ....

Instead, the company opted to drop the federal licenses for its New Mexico locations altogether, preventing Walmart from selling guns within state lines. The New Mexico law, enacted in March after Democrats captured the reins of statewide government for the first time in eight years, expanded background check requirements for firearms sales to include transactions between private parties, a level of scrutiny that federal law does not require. To facilitate these sales, the new law mandates that federally licensed gun sellers such as Walmart, who are already required to conduct background checks by querying the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), assist private sellers by conducting background checks on their behalf....
Raymond Police Chief Michael Labell has identified the victim as James Tomilson, 54, of Deerfield. The police force said Tomilson was walking when he was hit by a tractor-trailer at the distribution center shortly before 10 a.m. on September 16. Police said another truck behind him “lunged forward” while Tomilson was inspecting a trailer, pinning him between the two vehicles. First responders from Raymond Ambulance and the Raymond Fire Department attempted CPR, but he died soon afterwards....
After a much-needed (though certainly unplanned) year off, the Marvel Cinematic Universe made its grand return this week with the silly and surreal WandaVision, starring one of the most endearing couples in superhero cinema. The sitcom-styled adventures of Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch and Paul Bettany’s Vision may appear like harmless homage at first, but as its pilot nears its end, it becomes clear something dark and absurd lies underneath the artifice....
“What is grief, if not love persevering?” The penultimate episode of WandaVision brought the central forces of the ongoing interdimensional conflict into full focus, serving as a haven of answers to questions circling the series since the pilot. If the seven preceding episodes were almost entirely composed of setup, the eighth is all about payoff: Wanda’s origin story, the creation of the “Hex,” S.W.O.R.D.’s true intentions, and more were given the spotlight for which millions of fans had been waiting....

When Bill Clinton was announcing his candidacy last week, CNN televised a portion of it live. But just as Clinton was about to specify what he would do as president, the camera cut away to commentators David Broder and William Schneider. As they talked, a small inset of Clinton appeared on the screen without sound–a perfect example of how the candidates are often drowned out by all the punditry....
The 36-year-old guard has been contemplating retirement this offseason and Wade said he has yet to make a decision about his future, even though NBA training camps are set to begin this month. “I wish I had an answer for you. I don’t have it today,” Wade told the Sun-Sentinel. “Whichever day the decision comes, it comes. And that’s the right day, whatever date that is.” Wade spent the first 13 seasons of his career with the Miami Heat, winning three championships....
3 Up Adam Wainwright, SP, Cardinals. Wainwright allowed just five base runners while striking out eight during his complete-game shutout of the Nationals. He’s gone at least seven innings and struck out at least seven batters in each of his first four starts. Fantasy owners can’t ask for much more. Chris Sale, SP, White Sox. Sale allowed just one hit – a solo homer to Xander Bogaerts – during his 10-K, seven-inning performance against Boston....
Wainwright pitched two-hit ball over six innings for his first win in five months, Marcell Ozuna homered and the St. Louis Cardinals salvaged the finale of a four-game series with a 5-0 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday night. “You know what? Us old guys can still play, can’t we? A little bit,” the 37-year-old Wainwright said. “The main thing for me tonight was to do what I did in my entire rehab performances....
Hot Pickup: Michael Morse, 1B/OF, Giants. Morse has taken to NL West pitching; he’s hitting .385 and is riding a seven-game hit streak. Morse has done the most damage out of the No. 6 spot, where he’s hitting .438 in 18 at-bats. Morse is just three years removed from a 31-homer season. This is a good buy.

Iran were hammered 6-2 by England in their opening game but were a side transformed after head coach Carlos Queiroz made five changes. A key moment arrived in the 86th minute, when Wales goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey was sent off for a brutal challenge on Mehdi Taremi. Iran had dominated the second half up until that point, and Cheshmi and Rezaeian finally made it count deep into stoppage time to prompt emotionally charged celebrations....
Victory for either side in this match would give them a great chance of claiming a knockout stage spot, while a draw or defeat leaves them extremely vulnerable. Wales, after picking up a late point against the United States, know that victory in this match will be important, but so will goal difference. If they can secure a win, they’ll want to pour on the goals in the hopes of getting a differential advantage over the United States, who will also be expected to pick up a win against Iran....
