As Brad Marchand skated with the Stanley Cup as a member of the Florida Panthers, a former player with some very similar characteristics to Marchand is in the role of trying to move the Anaheim Ducks from outsider to contender.Pat Verbeek enjoyed a 20-year playing career after being drafted by the New Jersey Devils in 1982. He's scored 500 goals, won a Stanley Cup and, as Neil points out, displays the same work ethic as a GM as he did as player. That drive helped the Devils to their first playoff berth in 1988. Now, his immediate task is to build the Ducks into a playoff team, something missing in Anaheim since 2018.X: https://twitter.com/NHLWraparoundNeil Smith: https://twitter.com/NYCNeilVic Morren: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vic-morren-7038737/NHL Wraparound Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nhlwraparound/#NHLWraparound #ShortShifts #NYCentric #StanleyCupdate #NeilSmith #VicMorren #NHL #HumanSideoftheStory #PatVerbeek #SteveYzerman #AnaheimDucks #DetroitRedWings #NewJerseyDevils #HartfordWhalers #NewYorkRangers #DallasStars #BrianGionta #Jean-SebastienGiguere #KenHolland #PatrickKane #KeithTkachuk #PeterBondra #PatrickMarleau #PatrickRoy #WayneGretzky #KyleDavidson #EricTulsky #KyleDubas #JoelQuenneville

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Elisabeth Carson-Williams, author of the book Castaway on the Isle of Devils. Inspired by her students, and her fervent love of travel, Elisabeth hrives on meeting new people and hearing their stories. This, coupled with her own desire to understand her family's history, led her to write historical fiction, to capture the themes and voices of those not found in a textbook. “Ricochet,” her short story in Feisty Deeds: Historical Fictions of Daring Women anthology, is about the quiet battles women fight in order to survive, and how one person's actions can ricochet through multiple generations. Castaway on the Isle of Devils is her first young adult novel. To learn more about Elisabeth's publishing journey, writing process, and research trips, or sign up for her newsletter, visit: www.ecarsonwilliams.com. In my book review, I stated Castaway on the Isle of Devils is a young adult historical fiction filled to the brim with travel and adventure. We meet Alice Drinkard as she and her family are about to board a ship, Sea Venture, which is setting sail from England to Jamestown. Alice starts off the trip rather high and mighty. She is disdainful of her mother whom she calls Your Highness, she rarely takes advice. and she often finds herself in trouble because she chose to do things her own way with no regard to others. While on the ship, she starts to discover that their trip, one she felt was simply an adventure, and one they were going on because she wanted it, is a whole lot more. However, it isn't until the Sea Venture is nearly destroyed in a hurricane and is shipwrecked on the Isle of Devils, that she begins to understand the entire story - as well as a lot about herself and what she is made of. She also begins to understand human nature and what happens when people who seek power end up in charge. Elizabeth created her tale based on the true story of the Sea Venture, the shipwreck which was the inspiration for Shakespeare's The Tempest. Though William is barely a character in the book, Elizabeth did a wonderful job creating an exciting backstory to explain where Shakespeare got his idea for the play. Although touted as a young adult novel, I believe it is a story for all ages. I highly recommend this book!

Andrew Svaldenis joins the podcast to reflect on a 13-year NBL career that took him from Bankstown to Sydney, Hobart, Adelaide, and Geelong—appearing in 299 games and carving out a legacy as one of the league's most consistent frontcourt battlers across the ‘80s and ‘90s. Svaldenis opens up about debuting as a teenager under Robbie Cadee, his breakout years in Hobart under Cal Bruton, and what it was like to be part of the original Sydney Kings merger. We also dig into some of his biggest games, toughest matchups, and the evolution of the NBL through the lens of a blue-collar big man who saw it all. Topics include:

After four weeks of testimony in Sean "Diddy" Combs's federal sex trafficking trial, his defense team hopes that they have made significant strides in challenging the prosecution's narrative. Led by attorneys Brian Steel and Teny Geragos, the defense has focused on undermining the credibility of key witnesses and highlighting inconsistencies in their testimonies. For instance, during cross-examination of "Jane," a former girlfriend who testified about coerced participation in drug-fueled "freak-offs," the defense introduced affectionate messages she sent to Combs after their relationship ended. They argued that these communications are inconsistent with claims of coercion and abuse, suggesting a more complex and consensual dynamic . Similarly, the defense questioned the timeline and details provided by Bryana Bongolan, a friend of Cassie Ventura, presenting metadata that contradicted her account of a violent incident involving Combs .Furthermore, the defense has contested the prosecution's portrayal of Combs as orchestrating a criminal enterprise for sex trafficking. They argue that while Combs's relationships may have been unconventional and at times abusive, they do not meet the legal threshold for sex trafficking. The defense emphasized that the sexual encounters described by witnesses were consensual and that the prosecution has failed to provide evidence of force, fraud, or coercion as required under sex trafficking statutes. They also highlighted the lack of testimony from alleged co-conspirators, challenging the notion of a coordinated criminal enterprise . Despite the prosecution's presentation of graphic testimonies and corroborating evidence, the defense's efforts have introduced reasonable doubt regarding the intent and nature of Combs's actions, potentially influencing the jury's perception as the trial progresses.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
After four weeks of trial, Sean "Diddy" Combs's defense team has mounted a vigorous challenge to the federal RICO charges against him, which include allegations of racketeering and sex trafficking. Led by attorney Brian Steel, the defense has sought to dismantle the prosecution's narrative by emphasizing that Combs's relationships and interactions were consensual, albeit complex and sometimes tumultuous. They argue that the prosecution's portrayal of Combs as orchestrating a criminal enterprise is a mischaracterization of his personal and professional life. In cross-examinations, the defense has highlighted inconsistencies in witness testimonies and questioned the credibility of accusers, suggesting that some allegations are financially motivated or stem from personal grievances. For instance, they scrutinized affectionate messages sent by former assistant "Mia" after her employment ended, which she attributed to being "brainwashed"Furthermore, the defense has contested the prosecution's use of a 2016 hotel surveillance video showing Combs assaulting then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, arguing that while the footage is disturbing, it does not constitute evidence of a broader criminal conspiracy. They maintain that the incident, though regrettable, was an isolated event and not indicative of a pattern of racketeering activity. The defense also challenged the admissibility and interpretation of this video, asserting that its repeated presentation could prejudice the jury . Despite these efforts, the judge has denied motions for mistrial and has admonished Combs for courtroom behavior, including attempting to communicate with jurors, which the defense claims was misinterpreted . As the trial progresses, the defense continues to argue that the government's case lacks the necessary evidence to prove the existence of a coordinated criminal enterprise under RICO statutes.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
After four weeks of trial, the government has yet to meet its burden of proof against Sean “Diddy” Combs because its case relies heavily on sensational testimony and circumstantial connections rather than hard, corroborated evidence of criminal conspiracy. Much of the government's narrative hinges on witness accounts that are inconsistent, uncorroborated, or tainted by personal motives, civil lawsuits, and financial incentives. For instance, critical allegations regarding obstruction and enterprise-related acts often rest on speculative interpretations of Combs' personal communications and business dealings—without the requisite proof that he knowingly participated in or directed a criminal enterprise as defined under RICO. The prosecution's reliance on the Cassie Ventura hotel incident as a linchpin falters when viewed in this broader context: the government has failed to conclusively tie that isolated event to an ongoing, coordinated racketeering scheme.Moreover, key elements of the charges—such as conspiracy and intent to obstruct justice—require evidence of corrupt action beyond a reasonable doubt. The government's presentation of jailhouse notes, family outreach, and alleged suppression efforts has been successfully reframed by the defense as lawful and constitutionally protected responses to a highly publicized legal battle. No clear, unbroken chain of evidence demonstrates that Combs conspired with others to systematically engage in sex trafficking or obstruction as part of an enterprise. Without direct proof of such coordination or corrupt intent, the prosecution's case amounts to character assassination rather than substantiated criminal conduct. Four weeks in, the government's evidence fails to satisfy the stringent legal standard required for conviction.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
Sean “Diddy” Combs and his defense team have aggressively pushed back on the obstruction narrative, framing his behind-bars communications and jailhouse notes as legitimate, constitutionally protected efforts to prepare his defense—not criminal interference. They argue that the handwritten notes seized from his cell were clearly privileged attorney‑client strategy documents, and their confiscation violated both his rights and the sanctity of legal defense communications. ombs' attorneys also note that his outreach to family and friends—whether through monitored jail calls or coordinated social media campaigns around his birthday—was positioned as a freedom-of-speech response to what they describe as a flood of "outrageous" allegations, including those from plaintiffs' attorneys and government agents.In court, the defense has consistently argued that none of these actions meet the legal threshold for “acting corruptly,” a required element for obstruction charges. They emphasize that Combs' efforts to counter narratives and organize support were tactical and defensive, not malicious or coercive. Additionally, the defense maintains that the alleged use of other inmates' phone codes—interpreted by prosecutors as evasion—may have simple administrative explanations unrelated to witness tampering, and certainly do not signify a broader conspiracy to obstruct justice. Throughout proceedings, they've urged that these points demonstrate both the overreach of the government's position and the presence of legitimate, lawful defense activities.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

So, get your greeking on, it's time for a GeekShock!
We speculate on how James Cameron will make The Devils and whether Frankenstein will be too scary for Veronica. And we further kick off The Lives of Tao.
Send us a textMay 2025 marked a historic turning point for theatrical exhibition with box office numbers approaching $1 billion on just 128 releases – half the number required to hit that mark pre-pandemic. This stunning 75% year-over-year growth signals what could be the full recovery of theatrical moviegoing after years of uncertainty.Behind this remarkable surge were five films crossing the $100 million domestic threshold, led by Disney's surprisingly dominant "Lilo and Stitch" ($260M domestic) and Marvel's "Thunderbolts" ($180M). Perhaps most unexpected was "Final Destination: Bloodlines," the sixth entry in a long-dormant franchise that managed to earn over $200M worldwide – proving audiences still hunger for inventive horror when executed properly.The hosts dissect several recent releases, finding much to be desired in "Bring Her Back," the sophomore effort from the directors behind A24's "Talk to Me." Despite strong performances and effective sound design, the film's telegraphed storytelling undermines its potential for genuine suspense. Similarly disappointing is Guy Ritchie's "Fountain of Youth," described as a "dollar store version of Indiana Jones and National Treasure" despite its star-studded cast. Netflix's "Fear Street: Prom Queen" fares better as a fun but lesser entry in the franchise, while HBO's tech billionaire satire "Mountainhead" delivers mixed results.Looking forward, excitement builds for Wes Anderson's "The Phoenician Scheme," the Ana de Armas-led "Ballerina," and Ty West's vampire film premiering at Tribeca. The hosts also share news of Luca Guadagnino directing an AI business comedy and James Cameron tackling a dark fantasy project called "The Devils." These developments, alongside the emergence of AI-themed narratives as a distinct subgenre, reflect how cinema continues to process our collective anxieties and fascinations.Catch Alex and Max each week as they explore theatrical releases, streaming debuts, and industry developments with insight and enthusiasm that reminds us why movies still matter.Support the show

This week, Scott sat down with Lawfare's Ukraine Fellow Anastasiia Lapatina and Contributing Editors Eric Ciaramella and Alex Zerden to talk through the week's big national security and foreign policy news, including: “The Road to Damascus.” Over the past two weeks, the Trump administration has done an extraordinary about-face on U.S. policy towards Syria, installing almost universal exceptions to most existing sanctions programs and promising to end others. European and other allies seem poised to follow suit, all in an effort to forestall the feared collapse of the post-Assad transitional government being headed by Ahmed al-Sharaa, himself a former terrorist leader. But will it be enough to put post-Civil War Syria on the road to recovery? And will this new policy orientation prove sustainable?“No Fly Zone.” Ukraine struck a historic blow deep into Russian territory over the weekend with a daring series of coordinated drone attacks—dubbed “Operation Spider Web”—that may have wiped out as much as a third of Moscow's strategically important long range bombers. But will the attack help drive the costs of the conflict home to Russia, or trigger another round of escalation? And how will it be received by the Trump administration, several senior members of which are skeptical of U.S. support for Ukraine?“Double Taxation.” President Trump's aggressive use of tariffs suffered a pair of defeats in federal court last week, as two different courts chose to enjoin them, for two different sets of reasons. While both decisions have since been stayed, it's a discouraging sign for the viability of the legal authorities being relied on by the Trump administration. Yet President Trump has continued to threaten tariffs aggressively, including against Europe. How big a threat are these legal holdings to the Trump administration's policy agenda? And how will they impact its efforts to negotiate new bilateral trade deals, with allies and rivals alike?In Object Lessons, Eric polished off the last of The Rehearsal's Season 2 and was left in awe of the show's ability to actually become a show. Nastya returned from colder climates with a warm endorsement of all things Finland: its history, its icy stare at Russia, and its impressive ability to survive both. Speaking of war, Scott dove sword-first into fantasy, reminded of Joe Abercrombie's The First Law trilogy after the new release of “The Devils.” And Alex kept it historical with a recommendation of “The Watchdog: How the Truman Committee Battled Corruption and Helped Win World War Two,” by Steve Drummond.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

Join us on Patreon to follow our progress preparing for G.H.O.S.T.S. and join us live every week! In this chilling episode of The Most Haunted City on Earth, we dive deep into the terrifying true story of Annabelle the Haunted Doll—the real Raggedy Ann said to be manipulated by a demonic force. Join us as we uncover the horrifying events that plagued Donna, Angie, and Lou in the 1970s, from unexplained movements and blood-like stains to violent spiritual attacks. With the help of Ed and Lorraine Warren, the infamous paranormal investigators, the truth behind Annabelle was exposed: this wasn't a child's spirit seeking love—it was something far more sinister, seeking possession. We'll walk you through the seance that opened the door, the scratches that marked Lou, and the chilling car ride where holy water may have saved the Warrens' lives.But the horror didn't end in the 70s. Annabelle is now on tour as part of the “Devils on the Run” paranormal exhibit, visiting some of America's most haunted locations—including New Orleans, Gettysburg, and Moundsville Penitentiary. Since her arrival in New Orleans, fires, prisoner escapes, and eerie phenomena have followed. Could Annabelle be responsible for these strange events? Tune in as we discuss the facts, the folklore, and the fear behind one of the most haunted objects in the world.

He'll once again be a critical part of the Devils' defense in the trenches in 2025. On this episode, Zac and I discuss his year back in the Valley, how he made the switch from futbol to football, his growth in the trenches, the program culture, the power of a pita, and much more
