Another Avalanche injury? Avs’ sharp defense unaffected, even against talented Maple Leafs: “We’re just kind of used to it now”

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:30:23 GMT

TORONTO — The Avalanche decided to suppress their injury-induced pent-up frustration by suppressing shots.“We’re just kind of used to it now,” Mikko Rantanen said when asked about the latest blow: Artturi Lehkonen’s broken finger.If it sounds like he’s being defensive, it’s because the Avs are: Lights-out defending turns out to be the best coping mechanism.A team that was at a defensive nadir one week ago is suddenly playing its best defense of the season. Colorado (38-22-6) is averaging 19 shots allowed in the last three games and 20.2 in the last five.Starting late in the second period vs. Arizona last Saturday, the Avalanche entered an ongoing stretch in which they’ve allowed 37 shots on goal in 148 minutes of game time. That’s one shot for Alexandar Georgiev to handle every four minutes. Colorado’s goalie relishes being in the thick of the action, but he’s not protesting the paid time off.“We play so much in...

Opinion: The overlooked reason reparations make sense in California

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:30:23 GMT

Californians are weighing in publicly on the idea of reparations to Black Americans, with the state’s Reparations Task Force set to report their recommendations by July 1. This initiative builds on smaller-scale efforts, such as in my hometown of Evanston, Ill., which in 2021 became the first U.S. city to promise limited financial reparations for slavery and city-sanctioned discriminatory housing policies.Nationwide, much of the reparations conversation has focused on the financial burdens set in place by slavery and subsequent racist government policies. As a direct result of these factors, the median wealth of white households is about eight times that of Black households in the United States today.This racial wealth gap on its own makes a strong case for reparations. But it should be joined by an equally egregious and often less acknowledged health gap: In the United States, Black lives are years shorter on average than white lives. And as with the wealth gap, racism is a key cul...

Walters: California’s ghostly Tulare Lake will be revived this year

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:30:23 GMT

California was once home to the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi River, but Tulare Lake disappeared as water was diverted to irrigate crops. This year, however, the lake will once again re-emerge.Spanish soldier and California explorer Pedro Fages was chasing deserters in 1772 when he came across a vast marshy lake and named it Los Tules for the reeds and rushes that lined its shore.Situated between the later cities of Fresno and Bakersfield, Tulare Lake, as it was named in English, was the nation’s largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi River. It spread out to as much as 1,000 square miles as snow in the Sierra melted each spring, feeding five rivers flowing into the lake.Its abundance of fish and other wildlife supported several Native American tribes, who built boats from the lake’s reeds to gather its bounty.When the snowmelt was particularly heavy, the lake rose high enough that a natural spillway would divert water into the San Joaquin River and thence ...
