Darren Helm’s reintegration to the Avalanche lineup will be handled with caution, but his increase in minutes and intensity won’t be gradual. In fact, it only took two periods to end up embroiled in a controversial penalty involving Sidney Crosby that left Helm and the Avs fuming.Helm’s victory lap season hasn’t gone as planned. Colorado’s 5-2 loss to the Penguins on Wednesday was just his sixth game, and his second return from a long-term injury. The 36-year-old signed a one-year contract with the Avalanche after winning the 2022 Stanley Cup, spent the first half of the title defense rehabbing from a lower-body injury, returned for five games, suffered a related injury, then missed another two months.“When it comes to groin, abdomen, all that, everything’s connected,” Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said. After the second injury Jan. 12 in Chicago, there was organizational concern that Helm might be done for the year — an unceremon...

Gabe Kapler’s ‘most encouraging’ part of SF Giants’ spring training is also one of their biggest questions

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:10:04 GMT

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — There is no such thing as too much starting pitching, the old adage goes. But, sitting in his manager’s office a week before Opening Day, Gabe Kapler on Wednesday was still working to put together a puzzle that had too many pieces.“It’s a little bit of a puzzle early on,” the Giants manager said of his starting rotation, which has seven capable candidates for only five — or, in the first week of the season, four — spots. With a week of spring training left, the situation has gained little clarity besides the first two games of the regular season, which will feature Logan Webb and Alex Cobb.It’s a good, if still tricky, problem to have.The Giants did not want a repeat last season, when short starts, spot starts and bullpen games taxed their relievers, so while they lost Carlos Rodón, they replaced him with two other experienced starters in Ross Stripling and Sean Manaea. The moves provided some insurance in case Anthony DeSclafani’s a...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. military must be ready for possible confrontation with China, the Pentagon’s leaders said Thursday, pushing Congress to approve the Defense Department’s proposed $842 billion budget that would modernize the force in Asia and around the world.“This is a strategy-driven budget — and one driven by the seriousness of our strategic competition with the People’s Republic of China,” Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said in testimony before the House Appropriations subcommittee on defense. Pointing to increases in new technology, such as hypersonics, Austin said the budget proposes to spend more than $9 billion, a 40% increase over last year, to build up military capabilities in the Pacific and defend allies.The testimony comes on the heels of Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s visit to Moscow, amid concerns China will step up its support for Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine and increasingly threaten the West.China’s act...

After derailment, toxic burn, student-athletes seek normalcy

EAST PALESTINE, Ohio (AP) — On the surface, everything looks normal.There’s the East Palestine High School baseball team learning the finer points of baserunning at one edge of Reid Memorial Stadium. At the other, a handful of sprinters dart through the mild March air, the blue parachutes attached to their waists mushrooming behind them as they pick up speed.Same as it ever was at East Palestine as it transitions from winter to spring sports. Only, not really.A little over a mile east of the small school — student population 285 — tucked near the Pennsylvania state line, cleanup crews are still dealing with the aftermath of the Feb. 3 train derailment. While no one was hurt, concerns over a potential explosion led state and local officials to approve releasing and burning toxic vinyl chloride from five tanker cars that forced the evacuations of half the village and closed schools for a week.More than a month later, the cleanup is ongoing. The legal wrangling over who to blame ...

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Embattled South Carolina Comptroller General Richard Eckstrom will resign next month after a $3.5 billion accounting error in the year-end financial report he oversaw.The state’s chief accountant will leave the elected post he has held for 20 years on April 30, according to a copy of the resignation letter obtained by The Associated Press.“I have never taken service to the state I love or the jobs to which I have been elected lightly, endeavoring to work with my colleagues, from constitutional officers to members of the General Assembly, to be a strong defender of the taxpayer and a good steward of their hard-earned tax dollars,” Eckstrom wrote in the March 23 letter to South Carolina Gov.
