The Vancouver Canucks are in trouble. The Canucks' 2024-25 season was on shaky enough ground with their Norris-winning and Hart-deserving captain, Quinn Hughes. They've technically lost more games than they've won, even if they've taken eight of their losses to overtime. Their 17-10-8 record that has them just barely in a Wild Card spot in the Western Conference. Now they'll be without Hughes for an indeterminate amount of time, as well as franchise forward Elias Pettersson for a slightly more determinate amount of time. "They're not gonna make the trip," said head coach Rick Tocchet after Sunday's practice. "Petey is probably a week away, give or take a day here or there, and Quinn's probably week-to-week." That's bad news for the Canucks, who are already missing Filip Hronek, who is expected to be out until the end of January while recovering from a reported upper-body injury, suspected to be a shoulder separation. That leaves the Canucks without their entire top pairing on a blue line that was already questionable behind them . "He's just a tough kid" That raises the question of whether Hughes should have played in the Canucks' December 23 game against the San Jose Sharks. Hughes was already hurting, with rumours suggesting a hand injury, and was considered a game-time decision. He not only played, but also led the Canucks in ice time. "He couldn't have hurt what he has any more," said Tocchet. "He's just a tough kid and he won us the game with a couple of assists. I don't think him playing — I don't know, I don't think it would have made a difference." That raises another question: what's the difference between now and then? If Hughes could push through the pain to play against the Sharks and Tocchet says he can't hurt it any more, why can't he push through it now? Did the injury get worse in the last week despite Tocchet saying playing the game wouldn't make a difference? Did they find out more about what the injury was and shut him down because it was worse than they originally thought? As much as you want to give the Canucks and their medical staff the benefit of the doubt, they don't have the best track record , which leads to these types of questions. There's a long history of lionizing hockey players (and other athletes) for pushing through pain to accomplish something great in big moments. It's just questionable whether game 34 of an 82-game regular season against the last-place Sharks counts as one of those big moments. Was it really worth the risk — any risk — to win that game? For that matter, if the Canucks supposedly couldn't beat the lowly Sharks without Hughes, what does that say for their chances while he's out week-to-week? The Canucks fell apart without Hughes and Pettersson on Saturday The Canucks' first game without Hughes and Pettersson went well for 55 minutes, as the Canucks took a 4-1 lead in the third period and seemed to be in complete control. Then it all fell apart, as the Canucks gave up three goals in the final five minutes of regulation and lost in overtime to the Seattle Kraken. It was one of the worst collapses in NHL history — literally, as it was only the third time a team had come back from being three goals down in the final five minutes of a regular season game. You have to think that result would have been different with Hughes and Pettersson, not only for what they contribute on the ice, but also their calming presence on the bench. They're two of the most unflappable players on the team. But while Hughes' leadership will certainly be missed, what he brings on the ice will be the most obvious absence. He's the most reliable breakout artist in the NHL and often the only defenceman on the Canucks who can be counted on to transition the puck up ice with possession. Hughes leads the Canucks in corsi (58.4%), shot differential (+86), and goal differential (+18) at 5-on-5. With Hughes on the ice at 5-on-5, the Canucks have out-attempted their opponents 740-to-528, out-shot their opponents, 358-to-272, and out-scored their opponents 39-to-21. That's not to mention what he contributes on the power play. In other words, when Hughes is on the ice, the Canucks are an elite, dominant team. Without Hughes, it's a different story. When Hughes isn't on the ice at 5-on-5, the Canucks have a 42.5% corsi, a minus-114 shot differential, and a minus-10 goal differential. The Canucks' corsi and shots-for percentage without Hughes would rank dead last in the NHL; their goals-for percentage would rank 28th. The difference between the Canucks with and without Hughes is the difference between being a top-five team in the NHL and being arguably the worst team in the NHL. So, yes, the Canucks are in trouble. They could be hanging on for dear life for the next few weeks until Hughes returns or praying for a medical miracle that brings him back into the lineup at full health in a much briefer span of time. Either that or the Canucks are going to be forced to make a trade for a defenceman sooner than they might have liked. No one can replace Hughes but it's troubling just how bleak the Canucks' blue line looks without him and Hronek. The Canucks already needed at least one more top-four defenceman before Hughes got hurt; his injury just exacerbates that need.Information on these pages contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

ASUS is cooking up its new ROG NUC pre-built PCs for CES 2025, with a new tease that the next-gen Mini-PC will feature Intel's new Core Ultra 200H "Arrow Lake-H" CPUs and NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 50 series "Blackwell" GPUs. In a new leak on Chinese social media platform Weibo, we get some sneaky photos of the next-gen ASUS ROG NUC system, which from the outside doesn't look all that different. ASUS is baking in all of the changes inside of the new ROG NUC, where we'll see the use of Intel's new Core Ultra 200H series CPU, and NVIDIA's next-gen GeForce RTX 50 series GPU. We should see ASUS using the flagship Core Ultrra 9 285H processor, as the current-gen ROG NUC (more details on that in the link below) features the flagship Core Ultra 9 185H "Meteor Lake" processor. The new ROG NUC will feature an RTX 50 series GPU -- expect to see the RTX 5070 or RTX 5060 -- while the current-gen ROG NUC rolled out with up to the RTX 4070 inside. On the outside, we can see that there will be 1 x USB Type-C port, 2 x USB Type-A ports, an audio jack, and the power button. The inclusion of a USB-C port is nice to see, as the current-gen ASUS ROG NUC doesn't have USB-C. ASUS is expected to unveil its next-gen ROG NUC at CES 2025, which is just over a week away from now. We'll be at the show, and will give you the full skinny on this powerful new Mini-PC system.Where Will Ulta Beauty Stock Be in 1 Year?
Jimmy Carter, 39th president and Nobel Peace Prize winner, dies at 100
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Colorado secured what it said was record insurance coverage for quarterback Shedeur Sanders and Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter as the star duo opted to rather than sit out and prepare for the NFL draft. Colorado would not disclose the amount of insurance coverage each received, citing privacy laws. Coach Deion Sanders and athletic director Rick George both said it was the largest in college football history. “We happen to have two players that are probably going to be the first two picks of the NFL draft,” Sanders said Monday. “We all know who those two are and they have received, I think, the highest number of coverage that has ever been covered in college football. It far exceeds anyone that has ever played this game of college football.” While college programs maintain insurance policies for their athletes in case of injury, Colorado increased disability coverage for its entire roster in the Alamo Bowl. Sanders, the coach of the No. 20 Buffaloes, ensured his QB son and received larger policies since both are expected to be among the top 10 selections in the upcoming NFL draft. “It was his idea we should get disability insurance for our athletes for this game to ensure that they played and if there was some kind of injury that they would be well taken care of," George said. “So, we worked together on that. We’re excited about it. We think it’s great that all our players are playing in the game. That’s what all bowl games should be like.” Colorado (9-3, No. 23 CFP) will face the 17th-ranked BYU Cougars (10-2, No. 17 CFP) in the Alamo Bowl on Saturday. While most teams are scrambling with starters opting out of bowl games this year to enter the transfer portal or NFL draft, the Buffaloes did not lose any player on their two-deep roster. “It’s more than what I got (when he played at Kansas State),” Colorado linebackers coach Andre’ Hart said. “They gave us a helmet and said pop this on your leg and get out there and play. For them to get that (increased insurance coverage), I just think it’s beneficial. To talk about where the game is, where it’s going and how leadership is taking care of the players, I thought that’s excellent.” Shedeur Sanders completed 337 of 454 passes for 3,926 yards and 35 touchdowns this season. Many scouting services have Sanders rated as the top quarterback in this year's draft. Hunter received the Heisman Trophy as a two-way standout at cornerback and wide receiver. He had 92 receptions for 1,152 yards and 14 touchdowns and as a cornerback had four interceptions, broke up 11 passes and limited the opposition to 22 receptions on 688 defensive snaps. “They’ve taken care of us, everybody,” Colorado running back Micah Welch said. “It really means a lot to have every teammate up here. That's a big thing. What I like about Coach Prime, they’re taking care of us.” Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up .

COMELEC – The Commission on Elections (Comelec) is under fire for its decision to allow Pastor Apollo Quiboloy to run in the 2025 elections despite facing serious legal charges. The Filipinos are just months away from electing the next batch of senators to join the current lawmakers in the Senate. However, some senatorial candidates have sparked mixed reactions online. One of the most controversial candidacies is that of Pastor Apollo Quiboloy, whose bid for the Senate in 2025 has drawn strong public criticism. Many Filipinos have expressed disapproval over his decision to run for office, especially given his current detention. Quiboloy, the founder and leader of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, went into hiding for several months before being arrested in September. He now faces multiple allegations and is detained at the Pasig City Jail. Based on a report from Philstar, the Workers’ and Peasants’ Party (WPP) has condemned the Comelec for allowing Quiboloy to pursue his Senate candidacy despite the serious charges against him, including allegations of human trafficking and child sexual abuse. The decision has ignited a political controversy. WPP President Sonny Matula denounced the ruling, describing it as a “reward” for someone accused of breaking the law. “This isn’t just an insult to the democratic process – it’s an insult to logic and fairness. Why reward someone with a track record of breaking the law over a candidate with a clean slate?” Matula stated. The Comelec recently upheld a decision dismissing a petition to declare Quiboloy a nuisance candidate, which has further fueled public criticism. Matula argued that this ruling compromises the integrity of the electoral process and does a disservice to the Filipino people. “With all due respect, Comelec’s decision-making seems to have lost its anchor in reason. How can you justify a process that allows for piecemeal justice? It’s not just illogical; it’s a disservice to the Filipino people,” he said. In response, the WPP announced its intention to petition the Supreme Court to overturn what it described as an “unfair and discriminatory” ruling. They also noted Quiboloy’s failure to meet a crucial deadline to respond to the petition, further questioning the fairness of Comelec’s decision. “This is not just a technical lapse – it’s a blatant mockery and trivialization of the electoral process,” Matula emphasized.
