Pac-12 power ratings: As Stanford and ASU race to the bottom, 0-18 looms

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:55:31 GMT

Two weeks into conference play, the pecking order at the bottom of the Pac-12 standings has more clarity than the hierarchy at the top.For various reasons — some far beyond their control — Stanford and Arizona State have staked early claim to the cellar in a rugged conference that offers few opportunities to change that fate.Will either finish 0-9?Could both finish 0-9?Winless seasons are not as common as fans might think. The last team to reach those depths was Oregon State in 2017, when coach Gary Andersen stepped down in early October.And since the Pac-12 switched to a nine-game conference schedule in 2006, only six teams have gone winless in league play — six teams in 16 years. (We’re excluding the truncated 2020 season.)But the last time two teams were winless in league play in the same season, the Pac-12 was known as the Pacific Coast Conference. It happened several times in the pre-World War II era and once during the conflict, in 1943.Since then, neve...

ANAHEIM, California — Al crecer en México, Rubén Jiménez aprendió a hacer paletas desde cero, ayudando a su padre y a su abuelo, que eran paleteros, a fabricar y vender las populares paletas heladas en su tienda o en carritos.Jiménez, de 35 años, ha convertido la modesta tradición familiar en un creciente imperio de paletas mexicanas: “La Michoacana Plus” tiene más de 85 franquicias en todo Estados Unidos, en California, Arizona, Texas, Oregon, Louisiana, Oklahoma y Mississippi, y sus vibrantes tiendas ofrecen más de 100 sabores de paletas heladas y más de 50 sabores de helado en lugares tan lejanos como Guatemala e incluso en Dubai, Emiratos Árabes Unidos, donde abrió la primera paletería del país el año pasado y planea abrir una segunda. En un país conocido por su calor y donde la gente no bebe alcohol pero aman los dulces, las paletas han sido un éxito, dijo Jiménez.

Sabres and Senators may shake up Atlantic Division pecking order long dominated by Bruins, Tampa Bay

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:55:31 GMT

There is disappointment in Boston, where Bruins general manager Don Sweeney mentions the lingering scar tissue in the wake of the President’s Trophy winner’s early playoff collapse.And there is concern in Tampa Bay, where the Lightning will open the season minus goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy, and with captain Steven Stamkos having difficulty recognizing what’s left of a roster that won consecutive Stanley Cups in 2020 and ’21.On the flip side, in the Atlantic Division’s long-starved playoff markets of Buffalo, Ottawa and Detroit, things are suddenly looking up.“I believe that we’re talented and now it’s time,” Sabres GM Kevyn Adams declared. “I think our window’s open.”Sitting at the bottom and looking up, Montreal Canadiens general manager Kent Hughes has a unique perspective of what he anticipates to be a long-awaited shakeup coming to the Atlantic standings.“I think it’s the nature of pro hockey today with the cap. I think there’s an evolution. And I think it’s hard to stay great for...
