Most underrated player in the NHL? The Wild think it’s Jonas Brodin

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:06:09 GMT

PHILADELPHIA — Wild coach Dean Evason smiled as he made a joke last week, likely because he knew it was laced with so much truth.Asked to assess the play of defenseman Jonas Brodin, who had missed a month with a lower-body injury, Evason said the Swede could miss three years and look exactly the same.“He’s such a gifted skater, right?” Evason said. “We’ve seen them all through the years. There’s just special guys that can skate like that.”There’s no doubt Brodin belongs on that short list. He dominates defensively on a nightly basis with his innate ability to stick with opposing players in open ice. His teammates often joke that he can skate backward faster than most players can skate forward.“Someone sent me a text the other day that said, ‘Is he the most underrated player in the game?’ ” Evason said. “It’s possible.”The biggest reason Brodin doesn’t get more recognition on a national sc...

St. Louis restaurant trolls burglars after failed break-in

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:06:09 GMT

UNIVERSITY CITY, Mo. – Restaurant burglars came up empty in University City and end up getting punked in a new video on social media.Surveillance video shows three suspects breaking the front door glass of Diego’s Cantina just before 12:30 a.m. on March 14, hopping over the bar, and rifling through everything in an apparent search for cash.The restaurant’s owners are now using that surveillance video to send a message right back to the criminals, adding a few touches of their own, including music from the song, “Notorious Thugs,” and super-sarcastic captions like, “Nope – we don’t keep cash in our drawer.” The video highlights $2 the burglars left behind on the floor with the caption, “Oh wait, you missed $2.” Top story: St. Louis car wash customers upset over monthly bills “$2 fell out. I guess it was leftover tips from someone or some extra change. It was just on the ground,” said Natasha Kwan, who owns the restaurant with her husband. “They didn’t even see it.

On the new episode of “South Park,” which aired Wednesday night, Cartman and Kenny decide to renovate and reopen a historic Colorado restaurant – “a place where people from all over Colorado would come and see!” Cartman gushes.The plot sounds a lot like what’s happening in the real lives of the show’s creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker, who purchased famed eatertainment venue Casa Bonita in 2021 and are on the precipice of its grand reopening in May.The episode, however, isn’t about Casa Bonita. Instead, Cartman has the genius idea to reimagine the place he and his mom have been living for several seasons now: The Coney Island Hotdog stand, based not so subtly on the sausage-and-bun-shaped Coney Island Boardwalk restaurant in Bailey.Last year, Stone and Parker told The Denver Post they had considered saving the Coney Island Boardwalk the same way they did Casa Bonita, but “we just can’t take on another broken restaurant project right now.”Still, that didn’t stop the duo from living...
