Some ex-Sharks are shining in NHL playoffs. Why aren’t they in San Jose again?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:32:35 GMT

Brent Burns met with the media inside a nondescript locker room at Sharks Ice in San Jose last April and all but declared that time was running short for him to be a part of a Stanley Cup-contending team again.“It’s definitely tough when you lose three years not making the playoffs,” said Burns, who was 37 then. “I think everybody feels that way whether they’re young or older.”Just over a year later, Burns is right where he wants to be. Traded by new Sharks general manager Mike Grier to Carolina last July, Burns and the Hurricanes, starting Thursday, face the upstart Florida Panthers in the Eastern Conference final, eight wins away from hoisting that elusive silver chalice.A handful of other ex-Sharks are in the same spot, as former members of Team Teal also dot the lineups of the Vegas Golden Knights and Dallas Stars, who start their Western Conference final on Friday.While those teams compete for the Cup, the Sharks have gone four straight years without a postseason appearance, wi...

BERLIN (AP) — A German court on Tuesday convicted a Jesuit priest of coercion in connection with a climate protest last year and ordered him to pay a small fine.The district court in Munich handed down its verdict in the case of the Rev. Joerg Alt after he participated in a road blockade in the Bavarian capital on Oct. 28. Also appearing in the proceedings were Cornelia Huth, a biologist and member of the group Scientist Rebellion, and Luca Thomas, a student.The court convicted all three of coercion and imposed fines in line with their income. In Alt’s case, that was a 10-euro ($10.85) fine; the court said the other two defendants’ fines added up to a “low to mid-three-digit” sum.Numerous similar protests have taken place across Germany and other countries recently as climate activists try to draw attention to the urgency of tackling global warming.
