After Quinn’s stinging critique, here’s what the San Jose Sharks emphasized in practice

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:03:49 GMT

SAN JOSE – San Jose Sharks players huddled together on the ice near the end of Wednesday’s practice for a few minutes. There wasn’t any grand, fiery speech – at least nothing discernable from a few dozen feet away — and it ended after a short while with the group sharing a small laugh.Players after practice were hesitant to say what the meeting was about. Perhaps the theme, though, was to remain unified even though the Sharks are off to an 0-2-1 start, one year after they began the season with five straight regulation-time losses.“When you lose a few games, you have to come together,” Sharks goalie Kaapo Kahkonen said. “You can’t blame each other. You can’t point fingers.”Kahkonen will start Thursday when the Sharks face the Boston Bruins to end their season-opening four-game homestand, and job No. 1 for the skaters in front of him is to cut down on the number of shots their goaltender has to face.The Sharks allowed a combined 94 shots in losses to the ...

Jim Jordan loses second vote for House speaker amid steep GOP opposition

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:03:49 GMT

(CNN) — Republican Rep. Jim Jordan again failed to win the House speaker&#’;s gavel in a second vote on Wednesday, drawing less support than in an initial vote the day before. The loss raises serious questions over whether the Ohio Republican has a viable path forward as he confronts steep opposition and the House remains in a state of paralysis.During the first round of voting on Tuesday, 20 House Republicans voted against Jordan. On Wednesday, that number rose to 22, showing that the opposition against the candidate has grown. There were four new Republican votes against Jordan and two that flipped into his column. Given the narrow House GOP majority, Jordan can only afford to lose a handful of votes and the high number of votes against him puts the gavel far out of reach. As pressure grows on Republicans to find a way out of the leadership crisis, some are pushing to expand the powers of the interim speaker, Republican Rep. Patrick McHenry of North Carolina. Re...

Aaron Jones says Packers’ bye week helped him recover from hamstring injury

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:03:49 GMT

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Aaron Jones was on his way to scoring his second touchdown in the Green Bay Packers’ season-opening victory at Chicago when he clutched his left hamstring before crossing the goal line.Jones’ season — and the Packers’ offense — haven’t been the same since. He’s hoping that changes Sunday in Denver.The 28-year-old Jones has missed three of Green Bay’s past four games because of that hamstring issue. Without their most proven playmaker, the young Packers offense has struggled.“It can be hard on yourself, not playing when you want to play, not having that effect you want to have,” Jones said. “Especially coming into this year, I felt like I was just heating up, especially Week 1, it was like, ‘Aww, man it’s going to be a long year for these guys lining up across from me.'”Instead, it’s been a long wait for Jones to get back to full strength. But Jones says he recovered during Green Bay’s bye week and feels as well as he has since before the injury.He’...
