It also wasn’t immediately clear how the government would forbid the sale of junk food on sidewalks outside school campuses, where street vendors typically hawk candy, chips, nachos and ice cream to kids during recess and after the school day ends.

This is not the end goal for us,” said Wyatt Johnston, who at 22 has already been to three West finals. “You need to go through the conference final. ... Our goal is to win the Stanley Cup.

against Florida, the reigning champion in its third consecutive final series.Before Dallas and Florida this year, three other teams made three consecutive conference finals under the current playoff format adopted in 1994. Los Angeles and Chicago won two Stanley Cup titles during their runs, and Detroit won once. Tampa Bay made three Stanley Cup Finals in a row from 2020-22, winning the first two — the Lightning were awarded the Prince of Wales Trophy as the East champ in 2021, when there were no conference-based playoffs because of the COVID-19 pandemic.As deep as the Stars have gone in each of coach Pete DeBoer’s three seasons, they haven’t been able to get to that final round.

Dallas then lost in six games to Tampa Bay.“You’ve got to keep knocking on the door,” DeBoer said. “It’s a really, really hard league to win in. When you get down to the end, to the final four here, it gets exponentially tougher. ... We chased every single game in this series, and that’s a tough way to play hockey against that team.”
The Stars gave up the first goal in 15 of their 18 playoffs games, and struggled to score most of the postseason.

Demand has surged at Gardens of the Soul, a pet cemetery inside an animal shelter near Buenos Aires, where owners hold emotional rituals to bid their companions farewell and regularly visit their graves.There are some 300 tombstones painted with classic Argentine canine names, like Negro and Coco, and strewn with photographs, handwritten notes and flowers.
“Before, two months could go by without anyone being buried. Now, it’s at least once or twice a week,” said shelter manager Alicia Barreto, who still mourns her first rescue, a pup she found alive in a bag of dog carcasses thrown on the roadside in 2000.That grisly image haunts her, she said. But she takes comfort in knowing that, when the time came 10 years later, she gave her “perrhijo,” Mariano, a dignified burial.
