Kiszla: Avs coach Jared Bednar must make bold decision to split up Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen after 3-1 loss to Kraken

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:53:41 GMT

One lousy game into the NHL playoffs, being the defending champion means zilch, and Avalanche coach Jared Bednar has a tough decision to make.Does Bednar break up his top line, splitting Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen before frustration has a chance to set in against a Seattle team that didn’t give a Kraken about the Avs’ championship pedigree during a 3-1 victory in Game 1 of this best-of-seven-series?Or would asking Rantanen to invigorate a No. 2 line that has been suspect since the Avs let Nazem Kadri walk as a free agent be pushing the panic button?Your move, Mr. Bednar.Proactive or patient? How should the leader of a champ that looks very vulnerable react?Will Bednar consider breaking up the MacK and Mikko show?“Yes, for sure,” Bednar said Tuesday, after the home-ice advantage his Avs worked diligently for all the way through the final minutes on the final night of the regular season was effectively erased by the Kraken.This is one of those tough decisions that weighs on t...

Opinion: California single-payer bill is incremental step to disaster

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:53:41 GMT

The California Senate will hold a hearing today on a bill that would lay the groundwork for a government takeover of the state’s health care system.Legislators have been trying to install single-payer health care for years. But this new effort has a better chance of advancing than its legislative forebears. That should concern Californians, who would face long waits for subpar care under a system of state-run health insurance.Sponsored by Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, Senate Bill 770 would require the Newsom administration to pursue a federal waiver that would free up Medicare and Medicaid dollars for the state to establish a “unified financing” system for health care.It’s unclear whether the Biden administration would approve such a waiver. But the fact that SB 770 focuses on how to fund a single-payer system sets it apart from previous plans.Consider SB 562, a single-payer bill progressives introduced in 2017. Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon eventuall...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:53:41 GMT

WATSONVILLE — The morning after a 15-year-old boy was gunned down near the intersection of Rodriguez and Main streets, police investigators arrested an unidentified juvenile, a Watsonville police spokesperson announced late Tuesday afternoon.The teen’s death constituted Watsonville’s third homicide of 2023 and the fourth to date across Santa Cruz County.The suspected shooter, according to Watsonville Police Department spokesperson Michelle Pulido, was a 16-year-old boy. Investigators arrested the teen around 11:30 a.m. Sunday in unincorporated Santa Cruz County, more than 17 hours after the shooting occurred, according to Pulido. Public release of the arrest details was delayed more than two days, Pulido said in a text to reporters, because of the “complex” nature of a juvenile case.This week’s arrest is the second homicide in the county to identify a 16-year-old juvenile as the suspected shooter. The earlier case involved Rowan Parham, an 18-year-old Soquel man who was fatally shot...

Barabak: Lefties never liked Feinstein, now seek to hijack her seat

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:53:41 GMT

Dianne Feinstein wished to make a statement.The former San Francisco mayor was running for California governor and, knowing she would never win the endorsement of the far left, chose instead to stick those activists in the eye.“Yes, I support the death penalty,” Feinstein told fellow Democrats at the party’s state convention. “It is an issue that cannot be fudged or hedged.”A chorus of boos sounded like thunder. Feinstein stared straight ahead, unblinking, for nearly 30 seconds as the fury washed over her. (Meantime, cameras rolled to capture the made-for-TV moment, intended to dispel the notion of Feinstein as some kooky San Francisco liberal.)That was in 1990. But for some Democrats, the anger never let up.Now, with Feinstein ailing, some of her ideological foes hope to exploit the moment by agitating for the senator’s resignation and replacement with someone more to their liking, further to the political left.A favorite is Oakland’s Rep. Barbara Lee, a declared candidate to repla...

Anurag Chandra, incensed at being the victim of a teenage prank, was not content to run his agitators’ car off the road, a prosecutor said.Instead, after briefly forcing the boys to stop, Chandra made a U-turn and tailed the six close friends at speeds up to 99 mph before ramming their car at 88 mph on Temescal Canyon Road in Temescal Valley on Jan. 19, 2020, Riverside County Deputy District Attorney Kevin Beecham told jurors on Tuesday, April 18, during his opening statement in Chandra’s murder trial.Their car careened into a tree and pole, killing Daniel Hawkins, 16, of Corona; Drake Ruiz, 16, of Corona; and Jacob Ivascu, 16, of Riverside. The three others — Sergio Campusano, 18, Joshua Hawkins, 13, and Joshua Ivascu, 14 — suffered broken bones and other injuries.“The kids didn’t have a chance,” Beecham said in Superior Court in Riverside, where family members of the boys attended the trial.Chandra has pleaded not guilty to three counts of murder, three counts of attempted murder ...

Ruling in lawsuit on California police shooting that killed girl in Burlington store must wait, judge says

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:53:41 GMT

A decision on a bid by the City Attorney’s Office and a lawyer for a Los Angeles Police Department officer to stay a lawsuit by family members of a 14-year-old girl accidentally shot by the officer inside a North Hollywood clothing store was delayed on Tuesday, April 18, because the judge hearing the motion deferred any ruling until May.Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Cherol J. Nellon is on a temporary assignment filling in for Judge Daniel M. Crowley, who heard all motions in the civil case involving the death of Valentina Orellana-Peralta before Tuesday. Nellon postponed the hearing until May 31 so Crowley can hear the motion when he returns.The police commission ruled in November that LAPD Officer William Dorsey Jones’ first rifle shot at a suspect, Daniel Elena-Lopez, who was attacking a woman inside the Burlington Coat Factory on Victory Boulevard on Dec. 23, 2021, was within the department’s policy regarding the use of deadly force.However, the commission found Jones’ second ...
