Sportchart has a slew of easy-to-read graphics for quick reference and interesting conversation. The graphic the site published Sunday pits fan against fan in all-time performance by each franchise. The graphic doesn’t give specific numbers (those are tricky, remember?), but gives a visual of what teams have dominated National Hockey League play. [Via Sportchart] MORE: Playoff outlook | Nashville could get 2016 All-Star game | Zajac’s magic puck The Montreal Canadiens, founded in 1909, clearly have the most to brag about....

The state team also did well in the recently concluded Santosh Trophy, reaching the semifinals after a strong showing in the league stages. However, the popularity of the game in the state is still nowhere close to fanatical levels and the fact that Karnataka does not have a state-level league is a testament to the fact. But there are competitive league structures in several districts of the state, with the Bengaluru Super Division being considered the best league in the state in terms of competitiveness and profile....

Two men have been accused of using a secret pocket in a cat’s collar to get hashish and amphetamines into a prison in Novomoskovsk, in the Tula region, south of Moscow. The cat had lived in the yard of the prison before being taken home by a released inmate, according to The Moscow Times. Police arrested the men near the jail’s fence and the cat they allegedly used was taken away as evidence, in August 2018....

Two draws in four matches had seen top-of-the-table Juve looking over their shoulders at Roma ahead of facing Chievo on Saturday, but a Gonzalo Higuain double ensured Allegri’s men can switch their focus to European action with a healthy lead of nine points at the league summit. Juve host Barca in the quarter-final first leg on Tuesday and, although the Spanish giants were beaten at Malaga on Saturday, Allegri believes his side must play a perfect game to progress....

To most people, having an allergy to money seems nothing more than an excuse⁠—and a bad one at that. Like something your teenage son would say when you asked him to mow the lawn to earn his allowance, right? But what if a person were actually allergic to money? Not the act of making money (hard work), but the physical form of money⁠—coins or paper bills? There are numerous reports (unconfirmed in the news and confirmed in the medical literature) of people having allergic reactions to money....

The Pew Research Center published on Thursday the results of its Spring 2021 Global Attitudes Survey, the first of its kind since Biden took office in January. It was a historically rocky transition of power that unseated a U.S. leader whose tenure was marked by a sharp decline in international confidence in U.S. leadership. And while some of this trust has recovered in the few months of Biden’s White House, there remained a prevailing attitude that “democracy in the U....

Belgium’s The Brussels Times reported on Tuesday that 76 attendees of the wedding had been infected. A municipal official in Le Mans said the event, which was held outdoors, had followed all the local coronavirus precautions in effect when it took place August 8. However, the newspaper reported that face coverings were not mandated in the region at the time. Masks became required in the northwestern region on August 22, and it’s unclear whether many or any of the participants were wearing face coverings....

This was confirmed by THQ Nordic in a PlayStation Blog post that went into more detail regarding the new Alone in the Dark game. As confirmed by THQ Nordic, the Alone in the Dark story is being penned by Mikael Hedberg, a writer who helped write the story for classic horror game Amnesia: The Dark Descent and more recently, SOMA. The new Alone in the Dark is set in the 1920s, with players visiting a new take on the Derceto Mansion from the original game, as well the surrounding areas....

Alonso told the press pack at the Santiago Bernabeu that he was leaving for a new challenge, claiming he lacked motivation after a season that saw Madrid claim their holy grail: La Decima. “New motivations are needed,” Alonso said. “Maybe those stopped after we won La Decima. I wasn’t going to be at the level I wanted.” That seemed strange, not only because the midfielder missed the final in Lisbon through suspension, and famously celebrated by jumping out of his seat and running the length of the pitch to embrace his teammates, but also because he signed a new two-year contract extension only in January....

Alonso, a world champion with Renault in 2005 and 2006, will leave McLaren and explore other opportunities following the 2018 campaign. Widely regarded as one of the best drivers of his generation, Alonso will be a notable absentee from the F1 grid next year, although he has not ruled out a potential return in future. We look at the best Twitter reaction to the news from around the paddock....

The two-time Defensive Player of the Year says Michael Jordan would average “almost 50” points per game in today’s NBA. MORE: Beverley out for season | Magic GM expected to get extension | Rose practices with contact “You wouldn’t be able to touch him on the perimeter, so he’d be shooting a ton of free throws,” Mourning told Katie Nolan on her FOX Sports show, “Garbage Time”. Mourning also mentioned that he would have liked to seed LeBron James play back when the former Heat and Hornets big man was making All-Star teams....

After getting off to a flyer, Morata’s form diminished and his contributions dwindled to a trickle. However, the Spaniard is hoping for better days under new coach Maurizio Sarri. Though he was deployed against Huddersfield, a game Chelsea won 3-0, he failed to provide any significant impact on the game. Though there is a lot of concern regarding Chelsea’s frontline, the midfield looks solid and ready for fresh challenges. It was midfielders N’Golo Kante and Jorginho who scored Chelsea’s first two goals of the season while Pedro finished off the third....

On Saturday, tens of thousands of Republican delegates in Virginia will cast ballots to determine the party’s nominees for state governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general as part of the so-called “unassembled convention.” In addition to Chase, GOP candidates to replace Democratic Governor Ralph Northam include businessman Pete Snyder, former House speaker Del. Kirk Cox, retired Army Col. Sergio de la Peña, and former executive Glenn Youngkin. In an interview on Real America’s Voice, Chase, an ardent supporter of former President Donald Trump, vowed that a full audit will take place if she loses the GOP gubernatorial nomination....

To buy the Amazfit Stratos+ you’ll pay £159.99, while the Stratos costs £139. Both are great options in the budget smartwatch space, hybrid designs that offer all the benefits of a fitness tracker with some of the bells and whistles of a full smartwatch – being able to tell you the time is the very least of their talents. Smartwatch technology doesn’t advance at the same rate as other consumer tech, and these slightly older models still make excellent buys even when faced with the longer battery life, fancier displays and slimmer designs of more recent models....

Known for their PC architecture as well as supplying the processors for Sony PlayStation and Nintendo consoles, AMD is primarily the sole rival to Intel when it comes to CPUs that sit within consumer PCs. The range of Ryzen CPUs is popular among the PC building community as they are typically well priced outside of any offers and give a robust performance for the latest games. Of course, they function just as well when managing all of the other day-to-day tasks a desktop is expected to carry out....

In the meantime, Xbox Game Pass subscribers may be wondering which Final Fantasy titles are currently available for them to play with their subscription. As it stands, four main series Final Fantasy games are still available to play through Xbox Game Pass at the time of this writing, including some of the most critically-acclaimed FF games to date. Final Fantasy 7, 9, and 15 may be gone from Xbox Game Pass, but these games remain with no removal date announced so far....
