Why don’t we have the same expectation?” Avs defenseman Josh Manson said. “That should be our mentality coming in, that we want to be a top-five PK, because we can do it.’“I think that really hit the nail on the head.”Everyone knows the Avalanche have the firepower to score with anyone, and any power play that features Cale Makar flanked by Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen is going to have a high floor and sky-high expectations.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:38:06 GMT

By Bill Barrow | Associated PressATLANTA — Jimmy Carter has always been a man of discipline and habit. But the former president broke routine Sunday, putting off his practice of quietly watching church services online to instead celebrate his 99th birthday with his wife, Rosalynn, and their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren in Plains.The gathering took place in the same one-story structure where the Carters lived before he was first elected to the Georgia Senate in 1962.
