PITTSBURGH — Nathan MacKinnon and Sidney Crosby, the co-prides of Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia, have arguably the most famous friendship in the NHL.Every time they face each other in a league game, MacKinnon’s reverence for Crosby as a kid and their long-standing close friendship that grew as he became a star with the Colorado Avalanche is a popular storyline. MacKinnon mentioned multiple times Wednesday after practice ahead of the latest showdown that his resume doesn’t quite stack up to Crosby’s.One part of MacKinnon’s hockey CV that can’t compare to Crosby’s is not his fault. MacKinnon has never played for Canada in a senior best-on-best tournament, in part because the NHL decided against sending its players to the 2018 Winter Olympics, the COVID-19 pandemic caused the league to pull out in 2022, and there hasn’t been a World Cup of Hockey since 2016.That is something that MacKinnon wants to change, and he’d very much like the op...

Rep. Bowman charged with misdemeanor over fire alarm

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:21:03 GMT

By Lindsay Whitehurst | Associated PressWASHINGTON — Democratic Rep. Jamaal Bowman was charged Wednesday with a misdemeanor for triggering a fire alarm as lawmakers scrambled to pass a funding bill before a government shutdown deadline in September.He is expected to plead guilty, formally apologize and pay a $1,000 fine. The false fire alarm charge would then be dropped if he successfully completes 3 months of probation.The alarm forced the evacuation of a House office building for over an hour. The New York lawmaker has acknowledged pulling the alarm and said it was a mistake. He was in a rush to go to vote, tried to go through a door that was unexpectedly closed and wrongly thought pulling the fire alarm lever would help him open it, he said.At the time of the evacuation, House Democrats were working to delay a vote on a funding bill to keep federal agencies open. They had said they needed time to review a bill that Republicans abruptly released to avoid a shutdown. The funding pa...
