Bruins blow late two-goal lead, suffer first loss of season in overtime

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:54:24 GMT

The Bruins may have won ugly a few times this season, but they suffered their first loss of the season in spectacular fashion.On the verge of setting franchise mark for the best start ever in their 100-year history, the B’s gagged up a two-goal lead with less than two minutes left in regulation and then Mason McTavish scored at 2:08 of overtime to lift the Anaheim Ducks to an improbable 4-3 victory on Thursday at the Garden.The kicker was that the B’s played some of their best hockey of the season in the second and third periods. But when it was winning time, the B’s found a way to lose, failing time after time to clear the puck in empty net situations.“It was a lack of poise with the puck. We had opportunities, I thought,” said coach Jim Montgomery, whose team fell to 6-0-1. “I thought the game was over twice with the empty net. Guys were whiffing on pucks, guys trying to go for empty nets instead of using the walls on an indirect to clear and ge...

US fighter jets strike Iran-linked sites in Syria in retaliation for attacks on US troops

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:54:24 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. fighter jets launched airstrikes early Friday on two locations in eastern Syria linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps, the Pentagon said, in retaliation for a slew of drone and missile attacks against U.S. bases and personnel in the region that began early last week. The U.S. strikes reflect the Biden administration's determination to maintain a delicate balance. The U.S. wants to hit Iranian-backed groups suspected of targeting the U.S. as strongly as possible to deter future aggression, possibly fueled by Israel's war against Hamas, while also working to avoid inflaming the region and provoking a wider conflict.According to a senior U.S. military official, the precision strikes were carried out near Boukamal by two F-16 fighter jets, and they struck weapons and ammunition storage areas that were connected to the IRGC. The official said there had been Iranian-aligned militia and IRGC personnel on the base and no civilians, but the U.S. does not have any ...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:54:24 GMT

CHICAGO — Taxpayers have shelled out more than $82 million to settle, defend and investigate claims of misconduct involving former Area 5 Police Detective Reynaldo Guevara.The total includes $53 million in settlements and $29 million to outside attorneys, according to a recent review of city records by WGN Investigates.Observers say the city may not be done paying.There are 32 lawsuits pending in federal court, filed by exonerees who have accused Guevara of fixing their murder cases through witness tampering, coerced confessions and more.In all, more than 40 murder convictions, investigated all or in part by Guevara, have been reversed.And more claims are winding their way through the courts, meaning the total number will undoubtedly grow, as will the cost to taxpayers.  “If you’re talking about people who collectively spent hundreds of years in prison…this could be a billion dollars (by the time it’s over),” Craig Futterman, a criminal justice expert and University of Chi...
