In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

The Vancouver Canucks are coming off one of their best seasons in franchise history, and that means expectations will be significantly higher than they were a season ago when they were still treading water after missing the playoffs again. The expectation then was to either be in the playoff mix or make it as a wild card team. Now, heading into 2024-25, they are expected to defend their Pacific Division crown and contend for the Stanley Cup. Talk about a jump in expectations, right? Here are five burning questions as we continue to count down the days to September and the unofficial start to Canucks hockey season: the Young Stars tournament in Penticton.

That is exactly what is happening, she said.

Philadelphia Flyers general manager Daniel Briere recently referred to Nicolas Deslauriers as Matvei Michkov’s “new best friend.”. The Flyers are making it clear tough forward Deslauriers will have an expanded role in the upcoming season. One of his jobs could be to look after Flyers prize rookie Michkov. Last season, when Deslaurier’s role was reduced (his ice time of 8:09 per game is the lowest since 2016-17), the Flyers learned they played better when was in the lineup to back them up.

No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.

The Calgary Flames face a challenging 2024-25 season, with a focus on rebuilding under GM Craig Conroy. Teams like the Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks are viewed as significant contenders, while the Flames attempt to position themselves for future success with a less competitive roster. Although the Flames have strengths that may surpass teams like the San Jose Sharks and Anaheim Ducks, their matchup against division rivals will likely be difficult. The rebuild strategy aims for a brighter long-term future despite immediate struggles.

Flames vs. Pacific Division Rivals: An In-Depth Season Preview

As a fan of the Edmonton Oilers since the 1979-80 NHL season, I usually feel anxious during the offseason about the upcoming season. During the Stanley Cup-winning years from 1984 to 1990, there was a bit more calmness, but from 1990 to last offseason there always seemed to be a sense of uneasiness. Not this offseason. When Oilers CEO of Hockey Operations Jeff Jackson took over the general manager duties from Ken Holland in late June, he did a masterful job of making the Oilers better on paper than they were in the 2023-24 season.
