Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:11:32 GMT

Alexandar Georgiev was everything the Avalanche could have hoped for and more in his first season in Colorado.The Avs needed a replacement for Stanley Cup-winning goalie Darcy Keumper, and Georgiev proved to be a breakout star in his first season an an NHL starter. He became a dependable workhorse while Pavel Francouz missed much of the season with injuries.Maybe even a little too dependable.“He was playing back-to-backs late in the season, which is just crazy,” Avs star Nathan MacKinnon said. “So, if we could get 25-30 games from someone else … I’d love to see (Georgiev) get some more rest.”Given the team’s Cup-or-bust expectations, that would be a wise move.Georgiev played in 62 games for the Avs during the regular season, then seven more in the playoffs. He spent parts of five seasons with the Rangers, and the most NHL games he played in up until last season was 35 in 2021-22 (33 in the regular season, two in the playoffs).He did play in 40-plus games comb...

US Border Patrol has released thousands of migrants on San Diego’s streets, taxing charities

By ELLIOT SPAGAT (Associated Press)SAN DIEGO (AP) — Over five years, the largest U.S. city on the Mexican border developed a well-oiled system to shelter asylum-seekers. That system is being tested like never before as U.S. Customs and Border Protection releases migrants to the streets of California’s second-largest city because shelters are full. Since Sept. 13, about 13,000 have been dropped at transit stations with notices to appear in immigration court at their final destinations in the U.S., with about 500 more arriving daily.Migrant aid groups blame a mix of circumstances for the shelter crunch: reduced government funding; CBP’s practice of sending migrants from Texas and Arizona to be processed in San Diego; and a surge in illegal crossings. Last week, President Joe Biden’s administration advanced plans for a border wall in Texas’ Rio Grande Valley and said it would resume deportation flights to Venezuela.Before they are released in San Diego...
