Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:45:13 GMT

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — The highlight for the Buffalo Sabres came 30 seconds in, when a festive but small holiday crowd rose to its feet to cheer defenseman Rasmus Dahlin for scoring the opening goal.Some two hours later, the few who remained were left chanting “Fire Donnie,” in reference to Sabres coach Don Granato following a 9-4 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday night.In a season already filled with low points before Christmas’ arrival, the floundering Sabres reached a new depth. A team that’s won consecutive games just once this year, and sits 14th in the Eastern Conference standings, gave up seven consecutive goals in 21 minutes and 52 seconds, spanning the first and second periods to the East’s 15th-place team.“It’s an unforgiving league.

Roman Abramovich loses bid to overturn EU sanctions 

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:45:13 GMT

The European Union’s top court rejected a legal challenge from Russian tycoon Roman Abramovich against sanctions imposed on him in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, ruling that the measures were rightful and should continue. “The General Court dismisses the action brought by Mr Abramovich, thereby upholding the restrictive measures taken against him,” the Court of Justice of the European Union ruled on Wednesday. Abramovich “failed to demonstrate” that he was unlawfully put on the list of sanctions against Russia, the court found. Former Chelsea Football Club owner Abramovich had challenged the sanctions, asking for €1 million to make up for damages to his reputation. The court declined Abramovich’s claims for compensation, ruling that the sanctions were not an “unjustified and disproportionate infringement of his fundamental rights.” In March 2022, sanctions were brought against Abramovich for allegedly benefit...
