As new season nears, the St. Louis Blues still haven't named a captain

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:57:22 GMT

ST. LOUIS - A new St. Louis Blues season starts next month, and training camp begins in roughly two weeks, but there's one big void the team has yet to address. Entering September, the Blues have not yet named a captain for the 2023-24 season. The Blues are one of just nine teams actively without a captain. They haven't had one since trading Ryan O'Reilly in February, and it's unclear how much longer that will be the case. Berube: Blues ‘ready to go’ after lengthy offseason Although the NHL does not require every team to have one, the captain is oftentimes revered as the locker room leader, a franchise face, and a key voice to consult with coaches and referees. Only two times throughout the Blues' half-century-plus existence have they sailed the ship without a captain. Those two times would be the 2007-08 campaign, amid a lengthy post-lockout rebuild, and the 1996-97 campaign, the first after the departure of NHL legend Wayne Gretzky. Generally speaking, the captain's honor is on...

“Logistically impossible.” Drake, 21 Savage postpone Denver concert three days before show

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:57:22 GMT

There are lots of legitimate-sounding reasons why promoters would postpone or cancel a concert in Denver: an artist’s poor health, high country weather, and general tour troubles are among the biggest hits.But today’s announcement that Drake and 21 Savage will postpone their Friday, Sept. 8, concert at Ball Arena seemingly breaks ground for novel show postponements.Ticketmaster emailed ticketholders for the show on Monday morning to let them know that “due to the distance the road crew has to travel along with the magnitude of the production of the Drake concert, it is logistically impossible to bring the full experience of the show to Denver this September,” according to the email.Denver is the largest city for hundreds of miles in every direction, but one might think that a tour of such magnitude — which promoters acknowledge in the email — would try to work out those logistics beforehand. Blaming the postponement on the distance required to tra...

Opinion: “The Imperial Supreme Court” has a corruption and a precedent problem

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:57:22 GMT

Public trust in the Supreme Court is at an all-time low following some of the most polarizing decisions in the last 50 years, ethics issues that have erupted into a corruption crisis, and an unprecedented power grab that has turned the Court into an imperial one.Twin polls from Quinnipiac University and Gallup have recently confirmed the public’s historical disapproval numbers ratings. Gallup first started asking Americans to rate the job the court was doing in September 2000. At that point, 62% of Americans approved. Today, Gallup is at 40% and Quinnipiac is at 36%. Nearly 7 in 10 registered voters think the Court is mainly motivated by politics instead of the law.  And a whopping 63% surveyed would support limiting the number of years a justice can serve on the Court. Yes, please.Meanwhile, back in their ivory tower, we have witnessed the rise of the most activist court in the past century as the six-member ultra-conservative majority has embarked on a radical path to restructure ...
