Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 23:06:18 GMT

Minnesota United’s record went to five and oh no on Saturday.After a five-match unbeaten start to 2023, the Loons were shut out and gave up multiple goals for the first time this year in a 2-1 loss to Chicago Fire at Soldier Field.Minnesota (3-1-2) had won three straight road games, but their franchise-record-tying form on the road was ended by Chicago (2-1-3).Minnesota had been getting results while operating in narrow margins. They came up well short Saturday.When the Loons traded for Kei Kamara in the summer of 2020, there was a gentleman’s agreement he wouldn’t play against his former team, Colorado Rapids, that season.MNUFC could have used a similar setup Saturday, as the 38-year-old forward scored two first-half goals.Kamara scored one goal for Minnesota in 454 minutes in 2020, and he doubled that total Saturday. Kamara has six career goals against the Loons and 142 league-wide in his career.Micky Tapias had two clearances to stop earlier Chicago attacks, but Kamara’s shot too...

Ryan Hartman gets last laugh, sparks Wild to 5-3 win over Blues

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 23:06:18 GMT

Ryan Hartman seemed to know exactly what he was doing before the Wild played host to the St. Louis Blues on Saturday night at Xcel Energy Center.Shortly after warmups started, Hartman skated the length of the red line at center ice, buzzed by Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington, then casually fired a puck into the boards straight ahead of him. It was almost as if Hartman were letting Binnington know, “Hey, I’m right here.”Remember, when the Wild played the Blues last month? Chaos ensued after Hartman clipped Binnington ever so slightly in the crease, triggering the very reaction Hartman was looking for as Binnington clocked him with his blocker after the whistle. That was enough for Binnington to get kicked out of he game, and the following day, the NHL Department of Player Safety suspended him.On Saturday, Hartman got the last laugh, too, sparking the Wild to a 5-3 win over the Blues. He scored a shorthanded goal, added a shorthanded assist and missed out on the Go...

(CNN) — En su batalla de un año con Disney, el gobernador de Florida, Ron DeSantis, se apoyó repetidamente en el elemento sorpresa en sus intentos de superar al gigante del entretenimiento y su ejército de ejecutivos, abogados de alto precio y cabilderos con conexiones políticas.“Nadie puede ver venir esto”, dijo DeSantis a un importante líder legislativo republicano mientras planeaban un movimiento contra Disney el año pasado, según lo divulgado en su nuevo libro.Pero cuando Disney finalmente contraatacó y frustró, por ahora, una toma de control estatal liderada por DeSantis de su distrito fiscal especial de larga data, fue el gobernador republicano quien aparentemente fue tomado por sorpresa. La misma mañana de febrero en la que Disney impulsó un acuerdo con la junta saliente del distrito que aseguró el control de sus derechos de desarrollo durante las próximas décadas, DeSantis declaró a las cámaras y seguidores: “Hay un nuevo sheriff en la ciudad”.Ahora, semanas después de...
