Do you risk having your team captain spend time in the penalty box when he sticks up for teammates or tries to use his physical presence to shift the momentum of a game? The answer, apparently, is yes. In Saturday’s 4-3 loss to the Vancouver Canucks , the fifth straight setback for the Ottawa Senators, Tkachuk took 21 minutes in penalties. Three of the infractions were minors — roughing, unsportsmanlike conduct and cross-checking. The last of those two-minute penalties came on a delayed penalty call against Ottawa, leaving the Senators with a two-man disadvantage for a full two minutes.

Activate your Online Access Now Article content There was also a fighting major against Vancouver’s Dakota Joshua and a misconduct that knocked him out of the game in the third period. So, while the Senators were trying to battle back from a 4-1 lead (they scored two goals in the final four minutes), their captain was in the dressing room. You want Tkachuk, who has scored more than 30 goals three times in his first six NHL seasons and already has 10 this year, on the ice as much as possible; he can’t contribute offensively if he’s in the penalty box or in the dressing room. A year ago, he had 134 penalty minutes; this year, he has 48. He drops the gloves, he runs over people, he takes penalties. It’s good, yet sometimes it’s bad. But with Brady Tkachuk, there’s a fine line. With Brady Tkachuk, you’re getting somebody who will do whatever he thinks it takes to help his team win, to protect his teammates. Sometimes frustration and emotion get the better of him. But he gives a crap, he cares. Maybe more guys on the team need to find that edge. On Saturday, Tkachuk tried to light a fire under his teammates, who weren’t playing well enough. That’s what leaders do. Sports Get the latest sport headlines and breaking news.

Article content When he plays like a Tasmanian devil, it can be reckless at times. But it’s what he does, it’s who he is. And that’s OK with Senators head coach Travis Green. “Whatever Brady and I talk about is between Brady and I,” Green said Saturday. “But he’s an emotional guy. I’m not going to take away his passion and his emotion. We’re going to coach Brady. Every player, you coach a bit differently. I’m not going to harness or take away his passion, his emotion. Quite frankly, it might have gotten us back into the game ... a bit.” His teammates appreciate Tkachuk and what he does. “Not many guys play the game the way he plays it,” defenceman Thomas Chabot said. “He’s got so much character. We all love him. He brings it every single night. It’s not always going to be perfect, it’s never perfect for any of us. He’s been speaking up and embracing his role (as captain), and we all follow that. “Being the captain, he puts a lot of pressure on himself. We want him to know it’s not all on his shoulders. When times are tough, there are emotions. That’s the game, it’s played with emotion and passion.” FIVE AND COUNTING: The Senators should have been able to beat the very short-handed Canucks. Look at the lineups and you’d give Ottawa the edge. Advertisement 4 Story continues below This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Article content But, Saturday, the Canucks were better. “We fell behind, we had a good push at the end, but we have to have that push when the game starts,” winger Claude Giroux said. “I strongly believe we’re right there. But we have to be better, we will be better. We’re a better team than this.” For the Senators, it’s back to the drawing board, with a home game Monday against the Calgary Flames , then a three-game western road swing that lands in San Jose, Los Angeles and Anaheim. Green was short with the media following Sunday’s skate at the Bell Sensplex; his patience has to be wearing thin. When asked what has to happen, what has to change for the Senators on Monday, Green said, “Play better.” “You don’t just magically win because you want to,” Green said Saturday. “The other team has a say in who wins and who loses as well. As I’ve said, you can play well and lose, play bad and win.” Asked if Ottawa had a lack of emotion early in Saturday’s game, Green said: “That’s easy to say from the outside looking in. What is emotion? Is it the building getting loud? Is it scoring goals? Play good hockey and everyone thinks you have emotion, I guess. Did we have emotion in Boston (a 3-2 win) or Toronto (3-0 win)? No, we just played better. That’s the reality.” Advertisement 5 Story continues below This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Article content Asked how the Senators can regain the confidence they seemed to be showing earlier in the season, he said: “The guy that gets the answer to that is going to make a lot of money. It’s not like you tell someone to be confident. You can pat him on the back, give him a little kick in the butt, but confidence comes from within. Each guy finds confidence his own way and we’re trying to help our guys with that. This is not just a teaching league. You’re here to play.” Asked if had the impression the Senators played not to lose instead of playing to win Saturday, Green said: “No, I didn’t. I got the impression we gave them four easy goals and didn’t play well enough to win the game.” Asked about his veteran players, Green said: “Some guys haven’t played good enough and have to play better.” To throw in a Yogi Berra quote, is this “deja vu all over again?” Giroux doesn’t think so. “We’re a different group than we were in the past,” he said. “We’re going to turn this around, I strongly believe that.” ICE CHIPS: Don’t go flipping around your TV channels looking for Monday’s game to be on TSN: it’s not.

(Source: Nasdaq) Colombian inflation in November is forecast to have hit 0.20% versus the same month a year ago, mostly due to changing food prices, according to a Reuters poll published on Friday, which also saw year-end expectations decline. Estimates from 20 analysts for inflation in November ranged from 0.14% to 0.29%. If the median estimate is met, consumer price increases in November would come in below the 0.47% acceleration seen in the same month of 2023. However, it would be higher than in October, when inflation surprised by contracting by 0.13%. “We expect a rebound in food inflation, after the deflation that the sector showed in previous months,” Colombian bank Bancolombia said in a note. “Indexation would keep service inflation high, while the celebration of seasonal events (such as Black Friday and the Auto Show in Bogota) will allow another low record of inflation in goods and the evolution of electricity rates will continue to lead to low registration for those regulated,” the note added. If the median of the survey is met, Colombia’s 12-month inflation through Nov. 30 would be 5.13%, lower than the 5.41% at the end of October, but still above the central bank’s 3% target. The government’s DANE statistics agency will publish November inflation on Dec. 6. Meanwhile, inflation expectations for 2025 fell to 5.10%, down from 5.51% in last month’s survey and below the 5.3% forecast by the central bank’s technical team. For 2025, inflation forecasts fell marginally to 3.80%, versus 3.81% previously. The outlook for 2026 now expects inflation to close at 3.20%, down from 3.30% previously. Source: Reuters (Reporting by Nelson Bocanegra Writing by Oliver Griffin; Editing by Chizu Nomiyama)Nassau County DWI Lawyer Russ Kofman Releases Insightful Article on DWI Laws in Nassau County 12-02-2024 11:18 PM CET | Politics, Law & Society Press release from: ABNewswire Nassau County DWI lawyer [ https://www.lebedinkofman.com/nassau-county-dwi-lawyer/ ] Russ Kofman of Lebedin Kofman LLP has recently released a comprehensive article addressing the intricacies of Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) laws in Nassau County, New York. The piece offers a detailed breakdown of the state's stringent DWI regulations, the potential consequences of a conviction, and the critical role legal representation plays in such cases. In his article, the Nassau County DWI lawyer emphasizes that New York's DWI laws are among the strictest in the nation, reflecting the state's commitment to road safety. He explains that individuals charged with DWI often face a daunting legal process that can affect every aspect of their lives. "A DWI conviction has the potential to disrupt a person's career, personal relationships, and even the ability to perform everyday activities like driving to work or school." The Nassau County DWI lawyer goes on to highlight the importance of understanding the legal blood alcohol content (BAC) limits in New York. The state enforces a BAC threshold of 0.08% for most drivers, with stricter limits for commercial drivers (0.04%) and those under 21 (Zero Tolerance Law). However, Kofman notes that drivers can still face charges for a BAC as low as 0.05% under Driving While Ability Impaired (DWAI) laws. One of the key takeaways from the article is the severity of penalties for DWI offenses in Nassau County. For a first-time DWI conviction, individuals may face fines ranging from $500 to $1,000, up to one year in jail, and a minimum six-month license revocation. Repeat offenses carry even harsher consequences, with a third conviction within ten years classified as a felony, often resulting in state imprisonment. Kofman sheds light on aggravated DWI charges, which apply when a driver's BAC is 0.18% or higher. These cases carry steeper penalties, including fines of up to $2,500, a one-year license revocation, and mandatory installation of an ignition interlock device. According to Kofman, the implications of such charges underscore the need for a robust legal defense. The article also covers Leandra's Law, a New York State statute that imposes severe penalties on drivers caught operating a vehicle while intoxicated with a child under 15 years old. Under this law, even a first offense is classified as a felony, and offenders are required to install ignition interlock devices on their vehicles. Kofman notes that Leandra's Law reflects the state's zero-tolerance approach toward impaired driving, particularly when it endangers children. In addition to outlining the penalties, Kofman's article provides practical advice for individuals pulled over on suspicion of DWI. He explains the rights motorists have during a traffic stop, including the right to remain silent and the right to refuse vehicle searches without a warrant or probable cause. However, he cautions that refusing breathalyzer or chemical tests can lead to immediate license suspension and may be used as evidence against the driver in court. "Understanding an individual's rights during a DWI stop is crucial," says Kofman. "The decisions made in those moments can significantly impact the outcome of the case. That's why it's essential to consult with a Nassau County DWI lawyer as soon as possible." The article also explores various defense strategies that can be employed in DWI cases. These include challenging the legality of the traffic stop, questioning the accuracy of sobriety and chemical tests, and identifying procedural errors made by law enforcement. Kofman explains that even minor mistakes by police officers can result in evidence being deemed inadmissible, potentially leading to a dismissal of charges. Kofman's article doesn't shy away from discussing the long-term repercussions of a DWI conviction. Beyond fines and jail time, individuals may face increased insurance premiums, difficulties obtaining employment, and even immigration issues for non-citizens. Additionally, the social stigma of a conviction can strain personal relationships and damage one's reputation. To mitigate these consequences, Kofman stresses the importance of timely and competent legal representation. "A DWI conviction can have a ripple effect on an individual's entire life. That's why it's critical to have a lawyer who can not only defend in court but also assist with the repercussions of a conviction," he explains. For those facing DWI charges in Nassau County, the stakes are high, but the right legal representation can make a significant difference. Kofman's article serves as both a guide and a reminder that individuals have options, even in the most challenging situations.
