In Thursday night’s 4-3 overtime victory over Montreal, Marco Rossi scored a goal, earned an assist and received a five-minute major for fighting, picking up a rare Gordie Howe hat trick.The Wild’s rookie center now has half as many as Gordie Howe did.Over 25 NHL seasons, Howe earned a reputation as one of hockey’s best and toughest players, registering 786 goals and 1,809 points. And it’s difficult to chart his fights, and therefore how many Gordie Howe hat tricks he really had. But after cross-referencing several articles with Howe’s prohockey.com game logs, for points and 5-minute majors, it appears the answer is two (see chart).“He’s only had a couple of them. I don’t know who called it that,” Howe’s son, Marty, told Sportsnet’s Luke Fox. “The Gordie Howe hat trick should really be a goal, an assist and a cross-check to the face. That might be more accurate.”After giving the Wild a 2-0 first-period lead with a snap shot from the left circle, Rossi — a stout but average-sized you...

UN approves Gaza aid resolution with no call for cease-fire

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:18:32 GMT

By Edith M. Lederer | Associated PressUNITED NATIONS — The U.N. Security Council adopted a watered-down resolution Friday calling for immediate speeded-up aid deliveries to hungry and desperate civilians in Gaza – but without the original call for an “urgent suspension of hostilities” between Israel and Hamas.The long-delayed vote in the 15-member council was 13-0 with the United States and Russia abstaining. The vote came immediately after the United States vetoed a Russian amendment that would have restored the call to immediately suspend hostilities. That vote was 10 countries in favor, the U.S. against and four abstentions.The final-vote U.S. abstention avoided a second American veto of a Gaza resolution following Hamas’ surprise Oct. 7 attacks inside Israel. A relieved U.S. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield told the council after the resolution’s adoption: “This was tough, but we got there.”She said the vote bolsters efforts “to allevi...
