of the closely divided Minnesota Legislature to finish work on the state’s next budget. Those negotiations have gone slowly despite his frequent meetings with legislative leaders.
“I mean we know what they’re about. We played them seven times and they’re a good team,” Draisaitl said. “We’re really a good team as well. Obviously it’s nice to get a shot at, you know, getting some revenge, but a long ways from that.”FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — The Florida Panthers don’t play hockey every day. It only seems like that’s the case.
When the Panthers take the ice for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final in Edmonton on Wednesday night, it will be the team’s 309th game over the past three seasons and one that ties the NHL record for most games in a three-year span. And that, obviously, means they’ll break the record in Game 2 on Friday.There is no downside to making the Stanley Cup Final in three consecutive seasons, though there has been one unintended consequence — the Panthers are playing a ton of hockey. It’s simultaneously tiring and exhilarating.“We will have more energy for this series than any of the three prior,” coach Paul Maurice said. “And I’m sure it’s true of Edmonton as well. But the regular season was more of a grind for us this year than either of the two previous. And then in each round, it seemed a bigger build to excitement just because the light is at the end of the tunnel. There are no more than seven games left to this season, no matter what. So, you will see a new energy source from both teams in this series.”
Dallas (1997-98 through 1999-2000) and Detroit (2006-07 through 2008-09) hold the record for most games in a three-year span with 309; thewas their 308th in three seasons, putting them on the brink of passing those clubs.
And two Panthers players — Sam Reinhart and Gustav Forsling — have played almost every one of those games. Both have made 303 appearances for Florida in these three years; they have a chance to pass Pittsburgh’s Phil Kessel for the most by any NHL player ever in a three-year span.
Kessel played in all 307 of Pittsburgh’s games from 2015-16 through 2017-18.“If you saw her on the street, you would have no idea that she’s the only person in the world walking around with a pig organ inside them that’s functioning,” said Dr. Robert Montgomery of NYU Langone Health, who led Looney’s transplant.
Montgomery called Looney’s kidney function “absolutely normal.” Doctors hope she can leave New York – where she’s temporarily living for post-transplant checkups – for her Gadsden, Alabama, home in about another month.“We’re quite optimistic that this is going to continue to work and work well for, you know, a significant period of time,” he said.
so their organs are more humanlike to address a severe shortage of transplantable human organs. More than 100,000 people are on the U.S. transplant list, most who need a kidney, and thousands die waiting.Pig organ transplants so far have been “compassionate use” cases, experiments the Food and Drug Administration allows only in special circumstances for people out of other options.
