Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 23:38:27 GMT

SAN JOSE – It didn’t take long for San Jose Sharks defenseman Henry Thrun to make an impact in his first NHL game.Thrun assisted on first-period goals by Mario Ferraro and Oskar Lindblom as the Sharks took a two-goal lead over the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday and later earned a 4-3 overtime win at SAP Center on a goal by Logan Couture.Thrun finished with 18:46 of ice time, third-most among all Sharks defensemen, and also had two blocked shots and spent a bit of time on the penalty kill.“He didn’t have to earn a lot of my trust because we have a history and I’ve known him from afar for a long time,” Sharks coach David Quinn said. “So I knew what we were getting and you know, when I watched them the after two periods, he kind of did what I thought he was going to do.“He had a really good night.”Thrun and Scott Hannan are the only San Jose defensemen to record two points in their respective NHL debuts.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Shohei Ohtani’s Pitchcom machine failed him for a stretch in the first inning, so he had to improvise with a rookie catcher. “It was tough because you want to go a different pitch, but you don’t have enough fingers,” O’Hoppe said in reference to Ohtani’s extensive repertoire. “We got through it, luckily.”Ohtani struck out 10 over six scoreless innings in his season debut coming off the World Baseball Classic title before Oakland capitalized once he exited, with Aledmys Díaz rallying the Athletics on a tiebreaking single in the eighth for a 2-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday night. “We got a lot of guys on base and in scoring position, we just lacked that one big hit,” Ohtani said through interpreter Ippei Mizuhara.Esteury Ruiz singled and Tony Kemp hit a tying double to start the rally against Aaron Loup (0-1).The A’s hoped to get a chance once Ohtani’s day was done.“He kind of dominated us a little bit with 10 ...

Review: Sandler, Aniston reteam in ‘Murder Mystery 2’

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 23:38:27 GMT

You would have a hard time defending the limp plotting, the bland action-adventure set pieces or the Agatha Christie-light whodunit twists of the first “Murder Mystery.” And, yet, it was kind of good. “Murder Mystery,” one of Netflix’s most-streamed films, was chock full of exotic settings and mysterious murders. But the only thing that mattered, really, was the banter between Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler. Though “Murder Mystery” could be said to epitomize that very modern kind of passive and painless viewing experience on streaming platforms, their married couple was a throwback to a long-ago movie era. Audrey and Nick Spitz, a pair of working-class New Yorkers turned semi-amateur detectives, might as well be Nick and Nora Charles, the 1930s cocktail-swilling crime solvers. “Murder Mystery” and its new sequel don’t have anywhere near the sparkle of the “The Thin Man” movies, with William Powell, Myrna Loy and their wire fox terrier Asta. But like those films, every...

The head of the UN nuclear watchdog visited Ukraine's embattled Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant on Wednesday (29 March) and said he was putting aside plans for a security zone around the facility so he could propose specific protection measures acceptable to both Moscow and Kyiv.Rafael Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, had been pushing for a demilitarised zone at the Russian-held power station, Europe's largest nuclear facility, which has come under repeated shelling.Grossi, who visited the plant for the second time in less than seven months on Wednesday, told Russian reporters that the situation was not improving. A recording of the briefing was made available.The IAEA head did not name specific safety measures that could be proposed.
