New York Rangers forward Matt Rempe has earned a reputation as one of the most dangerous hitters in the NHL. The six-foot-nine, 255-pound winger has already injured multiple players with illegal hits, earning him suspensions totaling 12 games over the past two seasons. Given his history in just 59 career games, it's no surprise that the New York Islanders did everything in their power to prevent the controversial winger
But the rounded roof isn't just a fanciful design gesture; it offers energy-saving benefits, explained Sarah Kardos, an associate broker at Four Seasons Sotheby's International Realty who shares the $1.12 million listing with associate broker Alexander Rubin. The shape increases natural airflow and creates even temperatures with only one degree of difference between the floor and the ceiling (in traditional rooms, the ceiling can be up to ten degrees warmer). That makes the home unusually comfortable, says Kardos.
QUEENS, NY - A 19-year-old man was shot to death on a Queens street Sunday night, police said. The incident happened near 64th Road and Grand Central Parkway in Forest Hills around 7:40 p.m. Officers found Jean Rios unresponsive with a gunshot wound to his chest, police said. He was taken to New York Presbyterian Queens Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
"Obviously so happy," Romanov said before making his preseason debut in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Devils. "But you got to prove that you're responsible to play at this high level for the next eight years. We're not only talking about this year, next year. All eight years." So what does that mean in practice? For Romanov, it's simple: "Just play hard. Hardest hockey I ever played. Go all out."
My father, a proud Naval Academy graduate, served two tours in Vietnam, flying A-4s off aircraft carriers. He raised me with a strong sense of patriotism, a commitment to service, and a belief in community - a community that includes everyone: rich and poor, black and white, gay and straight, left and right, young and old, Jews, Muslims, Christians, and everyone in between.
The New York Islanders and collectible culture company cllct rolled out their new Game Originals line this week, and it's got fans buzzing-and maybe double-checking their wallets. On the one hand, the concept is awesome. You can literally buy the gear the boys wore on the ice. Game-used jerseys, gloves, skates, even pucks from special moments. It's the kind of stuff you dreamed about as a kid, and now it's sitting there behind the glass at UBS Arena and online at IslandersGameOriginals.com.
For a moment on Sunday night, UBS Arena went silent as young defenseman Kashawn Aitcheson crumpled to the ice after a center-ice collision with Flyers defenseman Noah Juulsen. The 19-year-old immediately grabbed at his leg and needed help off the ice, putting no weight on it-a frightening scene for fans in his first preseason game. Fortunately, the injury wasn't as serious as it appeared.
"This ceremony, in honor of Sajda Musawwir Ladner, is the catalyst in the transformation of Jersey Street," said Lorna Harris, emcee for the event. Located steps from 425 Jersey St., where the Universal Temple of the Arts center opened in 1990, the intersection now bears the name of the singular figure who spent decades of her life committed to the surrounding community. "My mother was here at a time when people encouraged her to go other places, and she stuck, she stayed the course and she affected so many young people," said Rashida Ladner-Seward, Musawwir Ladner's daughter and the current executive director of the arts group.
"Yeah, I mean that's exactly what it is - just a fresh perspective," defenseman Tony DeAngelo said after practice. "He's giving us some looks from his time in Colorado. They had a lot of success with their entries and puck movement, so hopefully we can piggyback off that. We know we have the talent to do it, it's just about execution."
When Semyon Varlamov went down with an injury in late November, forcing him to miss the remainder of the season, the NY Islanders were missing part of their two-headed monster in the crease, obliging Ilya Sorokin to take on the lion's share of starts. With training camp beginning tomorrow and Varlamov undergoing knee surgery in December, Head Coach Patrick Roy and the Islanders are still uncertain of their netminder's status heading into camp.
Since that time, our reporters and editors have been vigorously scrutinizing every facet of the Empire State's criminal justice institutions, investigating power players and the impact of policy on state prisons, county jails, and local police and courts - always with an eye toward what it means for people involved in the system. That system works hard to make those people invisible, and it shields those at the top from scrutiny.
"It's been good so far," Odelius said of rookie camp after day four. "Good to see all the boys again and finally start to compete again. It's been a long summer and I'm excited to be back." Like many young European players, Odelius needed time to adapt to the smaller North American ice. "Probably the small ice," he admitted when asked about the biggest adjustment. "You have so much less time with the puck and everyone's so much faster."
When he was in the playoffs against a former player of mine, [Alexander] Radulov, and they lost in the final. But he was playing really well. I mean, he's a small player, but I feel like he doesn't know he's small. So that's pretty intriguing for me, and I think for everyone here, because we're curious to see him, how he's going to bring his skills and everything.
