The Toronto Maple Leafs ventured into Canada’s Capital to take on the Senators less than 24 hours after defeating the Carolina Hurricane on Friday night in Toronto. The GoodThe number one “Good” thing that happened in this game was the Maple Leafs won a game they fully deserved to lose. There is no way that Murray could face any blame when the puck went into the net the first time. However, fortunately for him and the Maple Leafs, the original tying goal was called back on a coach’s appeal for offside. How well Murray played in the game was demonstrated by his being named the second star in the game despite giving up four goals.

EDMONTON - Actor Simu Liu has a song in his heart and a debut album on his mind. Liu said he struck a deal with Los Angeles-based record label 88Rising, which specializes in the careers of Asian American artists.

Liu also shared his enthusiasm for “Everything Everywhere All At Once” winning five of the top six awards at last Sunday’s Oscars ceremony, the night before the Junos.

You might think those of us without kids wouldn’t give much thought to our end game. Hers was not an easy death, and ours was a fraught connection to the very end.

Jason Robertson scoring goals is all but a certainty at this point. It’s going to happen, and the Stars rely on their star to do such. Robertson notched his 40th goal of the season Saturday night against the Calgary Flames and became the first Dallas Star to reach the 40-goal mark in consecutive seasons. The goal came late in the second period of a tight game against the Flames, which the Stars opened with a 3-1 lead. Robertson buried the game-winning goal in OT to lift the Stars over the Flames.

But they’ve got a full-jacket DH now in Brandon Belt, plucked off the free-agency shelf over the winter specifically for the purpose. “It’s something I’m OK with,” Belt was saying the other morning of his DH classification as a Blue Jay. Belt assures the problem has now vanished, after an off-season of rehab and a gentle reintroduction since reporting to camp. If I can keep it more like I’m playing defence in the game, I’ll be better off because that’s what I’m used to. I’ve been doing that for years and I’ve had some success in the DH role.” Albeit just a dozen DH turns with San Francisco in ’22.

Many cities are struggling with public transit violence and homelessness, but Philadelphia’s system is being held up as an example for introducing an innovative plan that seems to be a hopeful, humane way to handle its problems. As ridership drops in the pandemic, crime on SEPTA risesSEPTA is America’s fifth-largest transit system, with about 900,000 rides a day pre-COVID, or roughly half the size of the TTC. Since the pandemic, ridership across SEPTA has been a fraction of what it once was, and violence has risen. Transit violence leads to a decrease in ridershipStill, there’s something about violence on transit, a confined space that’s meant to be an unremarkable, routine part of the day, that makes people particularly anxious. But unlike cities such as New York, where police are treated as the foremost solution to transit crime, SEPTA recognizes that police aren’t best positioned to handle all situations, especially ones involving vulnerable people.
