Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 03:42:06 GMT

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The joy Paul Maurice felt on the morning of the start of the Stanley Cup Final was also tinged with sadness. The veteran coach knew there were only at most seven more games left to play.He had developed a greater appreciation for this moment with the Florida Panthers, 21 removed from his first trip to the final. Bruce Cassidy felt the same way being back as coach of the Vegas Golden Knights three years after falling one win short with Boston.One of them will hoist the Cup for the first time, and their presence in the final is evidence of why NHL teams looking to win put a priority on experienced coaches. Often derided as “recycled” or “retreads,” coaches like Maurice and Cassidy provide tangible value navigating crucial situations.“Depending on where your team’s at likely dictates to some extent the decisions that you’re going to make with respect to that position,” said Vegas general manager Kelly McCrimmon, who fired Peter DeBoer after his team missed the playoffs...

PARIS (AP) — Novak Djokovic broke a tie with rival Rafael Nadal by reaching the French Open quarterfinals for the record 17th time, never truly in trouble during a 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 victory over Juan Pablo Varillas on Sunday.“Well, I’m proud of it, but my attention is already on the next match,” said Djokovic, who will play No. 11 Karen Khachanov for a semifinal berth that could come against No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz. “I know what my goal is here. I’m trying to stay, mentally, the course and of course not look too far.”That’s because Djokovic is closing on bettering Nadal in a more prestigious category: Grand Slam singles championships. Both currently sit at 22. For Djokovic, that total includes two at Roland Garros, in 2016 and 2021, and he can become the first man to own at least three trophies from each major tournament.Nadal is a 14-time champion in Paris but is missing this time because of a hip injury; he had arthroscopic surgery Friday night that is expected to sideline him for ...

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 03:42:06 GMT

NUEVA YORK — Una pausa de tres años en los pagos de préstamos estudiantiles terminará este verano independientemente de cómo la Corte Suprema dictamine sobre el plan de la Casa Blanca de perdonar miles de millones de dólares en deudas de préstamos estudiantiles.Si el Congreso aprueba un acuerdo de techo de deuda negociado por el presidente de la Cámara Kevin McCarthy y el presidente Joe Biden, los pagos se reanudarán a fines de agosto, lo que pondrá fin a cualquier esperanza persistente de una mayor extensión de la pausa que comenzó durante la pandemia del COVID-19. Incluso si el trato fracasa, los pagos se reanudarán 60 días después de la decisión de la Corte Suprema.Ese fallo se espera en algún momento antes de finales de junio. Independientemente de lo que decidan los jueces, más de 40 millones de prestatarios deberán comenzar a pagar sus préstamos a fines del verano a más tardar.Esto es lo que debe saber para prepararse para comenzar a pagar los préstamos:¿CÓMO DEBO PREPARARME P...
