Coach Michel Therrien admitted that to media members after Wednesday’s practice — but also had encouraging news: Pacioretty, a winger from Connecticut who is having a breakout season, could be ready by April 15.

The Boston Bruins. Their Original Six rival. The defending Eastern Conference champions and the NHL's top team in the regular season. "That's our measuring stick," forward Max Pacioretty said after the Canadiens beat the Bruins 3-1 in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals on Wednesday night. "There's always been that rivalry, and that bad feeling between Boston and Montreal. Not just between the cities, but in the rooms, too....

Canavan disease is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, meaning that a child must inherit one copy of the mutated gene from each parent in order to develop the disease. Although Canavan disease may occur in any ethnic group, it occurs more frequently among Ashkenazi Jews from Poland, Lithuania, and western Russia, and among Saudi Arabians. Symptoms The symptoms of Canavan disease appear in early infancy and become worse over time....

The conservative author and commentator told Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle on Wednesday night that policing was “being confused with criminality” by protesters involved in rioting. The Quote “Let’s just call this what this is. The left has launched a war on the police officers in our country. Policing, even when it’s absolutely done right, is now being confused with criminality. “They are now insinuating that police officers, even in a circumstance where they are being fired upon, where they are being shot, do not have a right to defend themselves....

Thankfully, those days are fading; the blinking-VCR trope is becoming as rare as a floppy disk. Americans today are more likely to see someone who boasts about his or her nonfamiliarity with technology as a sign of incompetence or just plain stupidity, as opposed to a character trait that signifies groundedness in what’s real. The vast majority of Americans perform sophisticated digital tasks on a daily basis. Grandmas and grandpas e-mail digital photos of their cruise trip, and IM their kids in school....

Going into last September’s fight, a ton of mutual respect was shown by Alvarez and Golovkin. That changed when Alvarez failed two drug tests in February for clenbuterol, thus postponing their original rematch date of May 5. Golovkin and his team have called Alvarez a cheater and said that he took the drug intentionally. They also put the blame on Alvarez for what they perceived as him running and not engaging in a “Mexican style” way of fighting during the first fight....

That in-ring generalship, veteran savvy and guile was what “The Miracle Man” put on display in October, when he earned a hard-fought split-decision over Sergiy Derevyanchenko to claim the IBF middleweight championship. Join DAZN and watch Canelo vs. Jacobs on May 4 If Saul “Canelo” Alvarez is going to snatch that strap in their middleweight title unification fight Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, live and exclusively on DAZN, he’ll probably need to figure out Jacobs’ intricate style … and quickly into the fight....

The exact reason for the paradox isn’t yet understood, but the key to CHS is believed to involve two factors: marijuana’s interaction with the digestive system plus a lowered sensitivity to the drug’s neurological effects over time. Marijuana is best known for THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which is the chemical that makes you high by binding with molecules in your brain. However, the plant contains more than 100 cannabinoids that all have different effects on the body....

“We have never once considered this a rebuilding year,” Spitfires goaltender and Vancouver Canucks draft pick Michael DiPietro confidently asserted. Instead, they own a 10-5-1 record and rank fifth out of the 21 teams in the Ontario Hockey League by points per game. DiPietro, one of the few active holdovers from the Memorial Cup team, is the biggest reason why. He has posted a .932 save percentage and has been named the first star in five of Windsor’s nine wins, plus two second stars....

In an audacious act of political alchemy, the Bush administration turned the terrorist strike in Saudi Arabia to its advantage. The bombings are evidence that Al Qaeda remains a threat, that the war against terrorism is ongoing, and–by implication–nobody should question a wartime president. “It’s heads I win; tails you lose,” says a Senate Democrat. The Bush alchemists are equally effective on the home front. Dividend-tax relief for high-rollers appeared headed for the dustbin of history until Bush took to the hustings promoting it as a “jobs and growth bill....

More than 40 people have been charged in federal court for their alleged role in the riot at the Capitol on January 6. While officials beef up security for the inauguration, including the authorization of mobilizing more than 20,000 National Guard members, the FBI continues its manhunt for people involved in the riot, and those who have already faced a judge are being warned not to violate the conditions of their release....

A video of five Russian soldiers captured in Kharkiv by Ukrainian forces has begun to go viral on social media. The video was posted on Sunday and has so far amassed over 700,000 views. The person recording the video interviewed each of the hand-bound soldiers and questioned why they were invading Ukraine. The soldiers said that they simply wanted to return home, did not want to invade Ukraine in the first place and were demoralized....

The footage was captured live during a WCVB broadcast of the protests which began peacefully in the city before turning violent on Sunday night. WCVB reporter Peter Eliopoulos described his shock live on air as the SUV appears to purposely drive into the crowd on Tremont Street. “Several people just got hit…the front windshield was shattered,” Eliopoulos said. “That’s what we were afraid of earlier with all these people on the street and the streets are wide open now to cars....

Rescuers say the duo are lucky to alive as is the female driver of the car which hit them as they enjoyed Bar Beach in New South Wales, Australia. The drama unfolded on Thursday morning when the 40-year-old woman and her one-year-old child were at the beauty spot which is popular with visitors, reported 7news.

Like Cardi, Akbar first came to national exposure during her time on the VH1 reality show Love & Hip Hop. The Atlanta-born rapper has also been riding high recently due to her appearance on Nicki Minaj’s “Super Freaky Girl” remix. On Monday, though, she drew attention for an all-out Twitter war with Cardi B. Akbar seemingly started the feud off by what was perceived to be her questioning the success of Cardi’s new remix single with Glorilla, “Tomorrow 2,” which was released last week....

The Grammy award-winning rapper sued blogger Tasha K for defamation, invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress. After her victory on Monday, she was awarded $1.5 million in punitive damages, $1 million for general damages and more than $1.3 million in legal costs. Following the emphatic win, she made a comment appearing to reference Meghan’s own experiences with online critics. Cardi B tweeted on Wednesday: “I need a chat with Megan [sic] Markle....

During a Monday night appearance on Tucker Carlson Tonight, Owens called Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s duet during the telecast an “attack on American values” and “trying to make children aspire to things that are grotesque.” On Twitter, Cardi first posted about the Fox News segment at 2:27 a.m. Her message read : “Yaaaayyyyyyy WE MADE FOX NEWS GUYS !!! Wap wap wap.” The song’s rendition at the Grammys featured heavily censored lyrics, naturally, but it still contained suggestive dancing and imagery....

Suggs, who signed a one-year, $7 million deal with the Cardinals in March, spent the first 16 seasons of his career with the Ravens. The 36-year-old linebacker won a Super Bowl championship and went to seven Pro Bowls during his time in Baltimore. He also set franchise records for sacks (132.5) and games played (229). So he says it will be “weird” playing against his old team, back in Baltimore, in only his second game as a member of the Cardinals....

Cardinals coach Bruce Arians met with the team’s medical staff shortly after arriving at the stadium and complained of stomach pain. Following an on-site examination, Arians was taken to a local hospital for further evaluation, the team announced.
