Before opening the 2024-2025 NHL season in Prague, Buffalo Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff sat with his two Hall-Of-Fame goaltenders, Dominik Hasek and Ryan Miller. They shared memories of pucks going through the side of the net, Ruff suiting up in goalie gear, Hasek as a heavy-hitter, and which punishing hit was Ruff’s favorite of all time. This episode also explores how Ruff’s coaching style has started to shape the current Buffalo Sabres as Rasmus Dahlin, Alex Tuch, Tage Thompson, Jordan Greenway, Jason Zucker and assistant coach Seth Appert break down Lindy’s influence on specific plays and the team as a whole.

Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem was put in the awkward position of apologizing to U.S. military veterans whose lives have been turned upside down, after a Democratic lawmaker who came armed to the teeth with tales of ICE immigrant overreach.
During questioning before the House Homeland Security Committee, the embattled Noem, who is reportedly on the way out at DHS, was confronted by Rep. Seth Magaziner (D-RI) who followed up her claim, “We have not deported U.S. citizens or military veterans,” by asking, “I don't believe you served in the military. I haven't either, but I think you and I can agree that, as Americans, we owe everything to those who have served our country in uniform, particularly those who have served in combat. Do you agree with that?”
She answered, “I believe that people that are in this United States that are citizens have legal status here.”
Magaziner then offered up a Purple Heart veteran who is now living in South Korea due to ICE, and who appeared at the hearing via Zoom, before directing her attention to veteran Jim Brown, who was in the audience and whose wife, a native of Ireland, has been jailed by DHS for four months as she awaits deportation.
In an interview with the Guardian, Brown gained national attention for confessing, “... he ‘100%”’regretted voting for Donald Trump as president.”
“Madam Secretary, the man behind you, please stand up, sir, his name is Jim Brown from Troy, Missouri," Magaziner began. “He is a Navy combat veteran who served our country in the Gulf War. He's married to a woman named Donna who came to our country legally from Ireland when she was 11 years old. She has lived here for 48 years. Because of you. Jim's wife, Donna, has been in prison for the last four months. She did not come here illegally and she has never committed any crime other than writing two bad checks totaling $80.10 years ago. She is currently in prison and facing deportation.”
“Miss Noem, will you thank Mr. Brown for his service to our country?” he asked.
Noem turned in her seat to the right and murmured to the standing veteran, "Thank you, Mr. Brown, for your service to our country.”
"Now, what possible explanation can there be for locking up his wife for four months when she has committed no crime, other than writing a couple of bad checks for $80?” the Democratic lawmaker pressed.
“Sir, it is not my prerogative, my attitude or my job to pick and choose which laws in this country get enforced,” she demurred.
The U.S. military seized a sanctioned oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela, reported Bloomberg News on Wednesday. The report called the move “a serious escalation” amid President Donald Trump’s sabre-rattling to remove Nicolas Maduro from power. This is a developing story and will be updated.
