In the building where the Avalanche relentlessly endeavored to play this game for three encouraging months, and in the final chapter of a draining series in which that optimism disappeared with any sense of rhythm, home ice felt as eerie as a haunted house one last time.The Avalanche, losers of only seven regulation games in Denver during their 2021-22 Stanley Cup season, sputtered to an abrupt end in their championship defense with a 2-1 Game 7 loss to the Seattle Kraken on Sunday night at Ball Arena.Colorado lost three of four home games in the first-round series after clawing back from 14 points down in the Central Division to ensure two rounds of home ice advantage on the final day of the regular season.The Kraken scored the first goal in all seven games, an obstacle that finally became too steep to overcome at the end of a tiresome series — though the Avalanche briefly thought they had climbed a mountainous 2-0 deficit.

SAINT PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Maarten Paes finished with five saves to help FC Dallas play Minnesota United to a scoreless draw on an inclement Sunday night.Minnesota United (3-3-3), which came into the match tied for the fewest shots, peppered FC Dallas with 17 of them, including five on target. It was the first clean sheet of the season for Paes. Dallas (4-3-3) took just five shots. Dayne St. Clair denied the two shots on goal for his second clean sheet.Minnesota United entered play on a three-match losing streak after going unbeaten in its first five matches — suffering the same fate at the start of the 2020 season. No other team has done so even once in the post-shootout era (since 2000).Dallas was coming off a loss 3-1 to New York City FC, but hadn’t lost back-to-back matches since late May last season when its second defeat came at the hands of Minnesota United.Minnesota United beat Dallas 1-0 on the road in the season opener, gaining a measure of revenge after Dallas elimina...El informe de objetos perdidos de Uber del 2023 incluye dentaduras postizas, marihuana, un sable láser y una máquina de granizados

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israeli forces fatally shot a Palestinian teenager in a raid in the occupied West Bank on Monday, the Palestinian Health Ministry said, part of a relentless wave of violence that has rocked the region for the last year.There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military, which has been staging near-nightly raids in West Bank cities, towns and villages in what it says is an attempt to stamp out militancy. Dozens of Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire this year and 19 people have been killed in Palestinian attacks against Israelis during that time.The Palestinian Health Ministry identified the teen as Jibril al-Laada, 17. It said three others were seriously wounded in the fighting, which took place in the Aqabat Jabr refugee camp near the West Bank city of Jericho. The camp has been a frequent target of Israeli raids.Israel launched the raids after a spate of Palestinian attacks last spring. That set off some of the worst fighting between Israel ...New Zealand leader says he favors nation becoming a republic

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — New Zealand Prime Minister Chris Hipkins said Monday he personally favors his country becoming a republic, but it’s not a change he intends to push for as leader.Hipkins made the comments to reporters hours before he was due to depart for this week’s coronation of King Charles III in London.New Zealand, a former British colony, is self-governing but Charles retains a largely ceremonial role as head of state and king. Charles is represented in New Zealand by a governor-general.Like many former British colonies, New Zealand continues to wrestle with what — if any — constitutional role the British monarchy should play in modern times. Barbados chose to become a republic in 2021. Jamaica last year said it plans to pursue independence. And Australia in February decided to remove the British monarch from the last of its banknotes, although an image of Charles is expected to feature on coins.“Ideally, in time, New Zealand will become a fully independent...Operator in limo crash that killed 20 goes on trial in NY

SCHOHARIE, N.Y. (AP) — Nearly five years after a stretch limousine packed with birthday revelers careened down a hill and off a road in rural upstate New York, killing 20 people, the operator of the company that rented out the vehicle is going on trial.Nauman Hussain, who ran Prestige Limousine, is charged with criminally negligent homicide and second-degree manslaughter in connection with the Oct. 6, 2018 crash — one of the deadliest U.S. road wrecks of the past two decades — in Schoharie, a village west of Albany. Jury selection is scheduled to begin Monday in Schoharie County Court.Seventeen people using the limo for a birthday celebration were killed, along with the driver and two bystanders outside a country store where the vehicle crashed.The victims’ relatives have been on an emotional rollercoaster ever since. After pandemic-related delays in the criminal case, they were exasperated by a 2021 announcement of a plea deal that would have spared Hussain prison time.

NEW YORK (AP) — Regulators searched for a solution to First Republic Bank’s woes over the weekend, hoping to find a way forward before U.S. stock markets opened Monday. San Francisco-based First Republic has struggled since the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank in early March, as investors and depositors grew increasingly worried the bank may not survive as an independent entity. The bank’s stock closed at $3.51 on Friday, a fraction of the roughly $170 a share it traded for a year ago. It fell further in afterhours trading.World markets have periodically been shaken by worries over turmoil in the banking industry since Silicon Valley Bank’s collapse. On Monday markets in many parts of the world were closed for May 1 holidays. The two markets in Asia that were open, in Tokyo and Sydney, rose on Monday while U.S. futures were little changed, with the contract for the S&P 500 up nearly 0.1%. First Republic has been seen as the bank most likely to collapse ne...Emanuel Reynoso’s absence comes roaring back amid Loons draw

Minnesota United and FC Dallas played to a scoreless first half on Sunday, but there was one firework during the opening 45 minutes at Allianz Field.Apple TV commentator Taylor Twellman shared Emanuel Reynoso nearly got on a flight from Argentina to Minnesota.The Pioneer Press can confirm the MLS All-Star gave MNUFC tangible belief he was going to end his months-long holdout in mid-April after Loons technical director Mark Watson had a one-on-one meeting with Reynoso in Cordoba. They discussed Reynoso’s personal issues — the reason for his absence — and a flight was booked for Reynoso to travel north within the next day. The talented midfielder, of course, did not follow through.After not initially reporting to preseason camp in January and being suspended by MLS in February, what ended up being a tease from Reynoso two weeks ago deflated hope among club officials and didn’t help mend an already strained relationship.The prolonged absence of the Loons creativ...PHOTOS: Colorado Avalanche knocked off by Seattle Kraken in Game 7, NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs
