Usually, if an NHL team is going into its conference final with a cloud hanging over, it has to do with a player who’s out of the lineup because of injury or maybe a suspension.Rarely is that cloud because the team just had its second-round pick that’s just a month away, yoinked from them, and the coach was slapped with a $100,000 fine.But that’s what’s happening to the Vegas Golden Knights. And head coach John Tortorella does not want to talk about it… which is also kind of how all of this started.Tortorella usually gets in trouble for what he says, but in this case, it was for what he didn’t say, which was anything to the media after Vegas’ Game 6 over the Anaheim Ducks.That led to the penalties from the league, which said there had been multiple warnings to the club.Vegas responded by saying it would not comment on the matter, and on Saturday, Tortorella toed the company line and followed suit.LAS VEGAS WINGER MITCH MARNER SHEDS TORONTO PLAYOFF STINK WITH STELLAR POSTSEASON PERFORMANCEWhich, again, is rare.While he was mum on this topic, Tortorella did discuss the upcoming series with the Colorado Avalanche.It’s still unclear why Tortorella skipped…

It also gave me the album ’29.'”When pressed further, Pearce said that the marriage and divorce “taught me just how strong I am” in that she very quickly realized, “this was not what I deserved,” and did something about it.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The Washington Post editorial board took aim at progressive Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner on Thursday, accusing the Democratic challenger to Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, of offering “fantastical solutions” to voters’ real-world concerns.”These extreme policy proposals deserve as much scrutiny as his covered-up Nazi tattoo,” the board wrote. The subheadline warned, “The Senate hopeful is long on anger and short on real solutions.””Consider the novice candidate’s new plan to address rising energy prices,” it added, arguing his key campaign themes involve “punish[ing] big business” while placing greater control of the economy in the hands of government bureaucrats.The editorial focused heavily on Platner’s recently unveiled “Take Back American Power” plan, which calls for a four-year freeze on electricity rates, a windfall tax on big oil profits and ending collection of the federal gas tax in an effort to lower consumer costs.DEM PRIMARY TURNS UGLY: MILLS UNLEASHES BRUTAL ATTACK ON SANDERS-BACKED PLATNER IN CRUCIAL SENATE SHOWDOWN “To encourages [sic] states to go along with this, since they are responsible for regulating the price of power, he’d offer federal financing to build energy infrastructure,” the outlet said of proposed rate freezes.”Artificially putting a ceiling on…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! You pull into a Home Depot or Lowe’s parking lot to grab mulch, paint or a new patio chair. You probably expect security cameras near the entrance. What you may not expect is a camera that captures your license plate as you drive in or out.That is now reportedly happening at some Home Depot and Lowe’s stores in Connecticut. The cameras are automated license plate readers, also known as ALPRs. They photograph the back of a vehicle, record the plate number and log details such as time and location.Retailers say the systems help prevent theft and protect customers and employees. Police say the cameras can help solve crimes.
