A scouting report on Pittsburgh s cross-state rival heading into the first of eight meetings by Michelle Crechiolo and Caleigh Burchfield / Pittsburgh Penguins
The Philadelphia Flyers are a hungry and motivated group looking to build on the huge step forward they took in Alain Vigneault s first season as head coach.
The Flyers finished the 2019-20 campaign with a 41-21-7 record, good for fourth in the NHL and second in the Metropolitan Division. They went on to win a playoff series for the first time in eight years before the New York Islanders eliminated them in seven games in the Second Round.
Singapore’s defense minister: What will threaten future generations? Ng Eng Hen January 11 Without a doubt, the COVID-19 pandemic was the defining event of 2020. While government agencies had envisaged biological threats and produced plans to deal with them, the actual occurrence of a global outbreak revealed systemic inadequacies. We must learn from the gaps exposed to prepare for the much feared “Disease X,” a more infective and virulent strain that experts warn could strike in the future. For Singapore, with fairly comprehensive data from mass testing of antigen and antibodies against COVID-19, mortality was relatively low 29 deaths from more than 150,000 persons infected. Even so, globally 1.6 million people have already died from this disease. A silver lining in that tragic year is that vaccines against COVID-19 were produced in record time. That rapid vaccine technology, now proven, will prove crucial for future pandemics.
US Reps. Moulton and Banks: The future of defense is in public-private partnerships Rep. Seth Moulton and Rep. Jim Banks January 11 From left, Reps. Seth Moulton and Jim Banks co-chair the House of Representatives’ Future of Defense Task Force. Unless we make drastic changes, we will lose. That is the unmistakable and completely bipartisan conclusion of our task force on the future of America’s national security. The stakes could scarcely be higher: Our future as leader of the free world indeed, the future of the free world itself is on the line, not to mention the peace and security of our families and friends.

Wild defenseman was once a development camp invitee, earning his first NHL contract the hard way by Dan Myers @mnwildscribe / Wild.com
Fox Sports North rinkside reporter Kevin Gorg and former Wild play-by-play man Dan Terhaar were with the club in Calgary on Nov. 28, 2010, returning to the team hotel after an off-night trip to the movie theater.
As they walked in, an unfamiliar face hopped out of a car with some hockey sticks and a Houston Aeros equipment bag over his shoulder. Gorg said he thought the person looked like he couldn t have been older than a junior in high school.
