Firefighters battled a major fire at the South Florida home of Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill on Wednesday afternoon.

The fire broke out just before 2 p.m. at a home in the 16000 block of Berkshire Court in a gated community in Southwest Ranches.

A Dolphins spokesman said Hill left practice and everyone at the home at the time was safe.

The footage showed Hill, wearing a white T-shirt, dark sweatpants and a boot on his left foot, arriving at the home and hugging family members.

After Jonathan Huberdeau scored his first goal in 18 games on Tuesday night, a lot of pressure has been lifted off his shoulders.

Head coach Ryan Huska's lineup changes have paid off. Huberdeau was paired with Elias Lindholm and Yegor Sharangovich, initially allowing him an assist last Sunday, his first point of December. However, this network has an even more special character.

“It feels good. It's been a while. We've been playing better lately. It's good that there's good chemistry in our trio. It feels good, especially to end it with a win,” said a player who seemed to be lighter in the press scrum.

“I was creating things, so the coach decided to change the lyrics and adapt it to ‘Lindy’. We have to be an attacking trio [Huska] that you can rely on,” he added.

The Flames have won their two duels since this move and are now hoping for a good 2024. Huberdeau still has a lot to do to improve his personal tally of five goals and 12 assists in 37 games and he will build on this small victory.

“I have to acknowledge that [l’entraîneur adjoint] Marc Savard, who hangs the tape on my stick. He wanted me to mention it,” he said with a smile, adding that this new habit started in the last game when he finally unlocked it.

Calgary will play three games in four days starting Thursday, facing the Nashville Predators, Philadelphia Flyers and Chicago Blackhawks.

Cole Caufield takes the plunge again when he sees that his bank account has a lot of numbers next to the word “balance,” but the Canadian scorer says he hasn't done too much crazy since Kent Hughes signed him to a whopping 8-year contract over $62.8 million last June.

In fact, the biggest expense the 23-year-old sensation made with that whopping sum was renting a “party bus” to attend a Taylor Swift show with friends.

“She has good songs, but I don't listen to Taylor Swift all the time. But it was a unique opportunity! he said during his appearance on the popular podcast Spittin' Chiclets, where the hosts repeatedly made fun of poor…Christian Dvorak, who Caufield lives with, and his introverted personality.

Always someone to remind him

And no, Caufield didn't go to Swift's show hoping to take Travis Kelce's place in the singer's heart!

“She is an icon, a legend, you have to see her performance,” assured the country fan, who also included Morgan Wallen.

But the small forward says he tries not to think too much about how much money is in his account, even though he's done it again recognized as “life-changing.”.

“It’s hard, though, because there’s always someone to remind you,” he added with a laugh.

However, Caufield didn't show much confidence during his time behind the mic from Paul Bissonnette and Ryan Whitney, where players still tend to let themselves go rather than pour into the traditional “tape.”

Like Weber and Price

It wasn't the first time that the two former ice hockey players invited him to their podcast, but number 22 preferred to wait until he had played more games in the NHL.

In addition to his contract and Dvorak's personality, most of the talk was about American ice hockey and the nickname Shea Weber gave him a few years ago: “The Cock” (or “the penis” in French, and no, that wasn't the reason) . revealed).

“No one has called me that in three years,” laughed Caufield, who also acknowledged the undeniable contribution that Weber, as well as veterans like Corey Perry, Carey Price and now Brendan Gallagher, have made to his career (beyond the nickname).

“We had several guys during the playoffs [où le Canadien s’est rendu en finale, en 2021] that I could meet in the bubble, he explained. It was crazy to see how much they invested in hockey throughout their careers, and being with them in the bubble immediately made me want to be like them.

Barron, the star of the party

And there was talk of the famous recruit dinner that took place in Los Angeles in November this year. According to Caufield, the normally reserved Justin Barron was the star of the night.

“He danced, he sang, he joked,” he said. Normally he's pretty quiet, but here he was funny. He’s definitely come out of his shell.”

Piero Quispe is counting the hours with which he will make his debut UNAM Cougars. The former Universitario midfielder has been training with his new team for almost a week and has already become one of the main attractions of the sports press in the Aztec Country. The Peruvian is one of the new additions to the Cat team to make up for some important losses he suffered this season. Therefore, there are high expectations of what the 22-year-old player can achieve.

According to the newspaper Récord, coach Gustavo Lema would trust Quispe as one of the starters for the start of the Mexican championship. In addition to the midfielder, another reinforcement who would make his debut in the competition would be striker Guillermo Martínez.

When would Piero Quispe make his Pumas debut?

The Pumas' first official game in the Clausura tournament Liga MX 2024 Next Sunday, January 14th, they will play against FC Juárez at 1:00 p.m. (Peruvian time). The university students will be on site at this intersection for the first competition date.

What would be the Pumas starting team with Piero Quispe?

According to the relevant media, Lema's base eleven for the Clausura would be composed as follows: Julio González in goal, Pablo Monroy and Sebastián Aldrete as wingers, with Lisandro Magallán and Nathan Silva in central defense. In midfield, Piero Quispe, Santiago Trigos and José Caicedo would be selected, while Eduardo Salvio and César Huerta would be deployed as wingers, with “Memo” Martínez as “9”.

Is Piero Quispe interested in Inter Milan?

Another piece of news that Récord reported about Quispe was the alleged interest of Inter Milan in footballer. “One important person called Cantera to expect to be considered in a future sale: Inter Milan, because they knew that Piero would improve in Mexico to make the big jump,” the newspaper published in As part of her “Sniper” column.

A few days ago, the midfielder's representative stated that clubs in Spain and the United Kingdom were also targeting the player, but did not name those teams.

The Los Angeles Rams are resting QB Matthew Stafford for Week 18, which could have a big impact on their NFC playoff seeding and the Detroit Lions.

• By Erik Schlitt and Jeremy Reisman

According to NFL Network, The Los Angeles Rams have decided to sideline Matthew Stafford in favor of Carson Wentz for the team's Week 18 gameand it could have a big impact on the NFC playoff picture and the Detroit Lions.

The Lions are almost certainly a No. 3 seed in the NFC playoffs, as they would not only have to beat the Minnesota Vikings in Week 18, but also lose to the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles to advance to the No. 2 seed.

As a result, the Lions' list of potential first-round opponents in the playoffs is short: probably the Rams or the Green Bay Packers.

Currently, the Los Angeles Rams (9-7) have secured a spot in the playoffs and are in 6th place in the NFC, putting them at the top. Next up are the Packers (8-8), followed by the Seattle Seahawks (8-8), New Orleans Saints (8-8) and Vikings (7-9).

But the Rams' path to staying at No. 6 isn't easy as they face the NFC's No. 1 seed San Francisco 49ers in Week 18. If the Rams beat the 49ers, they would remain at No. 6 and would also face the Lions in the first round if Detroit clinch the three seeds.

But if Los Angeles loses, they could drop to the seventh seed if the Packers beat the Chicago Bears – which could set up a first-round matchup between the Lions and Packers.

Since the 49ers had no chance of getting eliminated from the No. 1 seed, they could also bench starters. They have already declared running back Christian McCaffrey out (due to a calf strain). But coach Kyle Shanahan hasn't decided yet whether quarterback Brock Purdy will start.

“I don’t have the plan yet. We’re still discussing all of these things,” Shanahan said.

With Stafford no longer the focal point in the regular season finale, the potential outcome of this game changes significantly.

Here are some possible outcomes based on what happens in the Rams-49ers game:

• Rams win = they are the number 6 seed
• Rams lose, Packers win = Packers #6 seed, Rams #7 seed
• Rams lose, Packers lose = Rams #6 seed, #7 TBD (Packers, Seahawks, Saints)

Recently recalled by the Toronto Maple Leafs, goaltender Dennis Hildeby has come a long way, a very long way in fact, especially considering that not long ago he was the mascot of the team from Färjestad, Sweden.

Due to Ilya Samsonov's problems in net, Leafs general manager Brad Treliving turned to the 22-year-old Swede, a 6-foot-11 hulking man, to serve as Martin's replacement. Jones.

Hildeby is playing its first full season in North America and this result is somewhat unexpected. However, this is not the first obstacle that stands in the way of the young man.

In an interview with Swedish website hockeysverige.se, translated into English by Daily Faceoff, Färjestad sporting director Rickard Wallin stated that Hildeby had already donned the costume of Ture Varg, the club's mascot. He then joined the organization's youth squad in 2020.

“It wasn't easy for him in his junior year with assignments and team changes. “Just six months before joining our professional team, he was a part-time summer job Ture Varg at my son’s hockey school,” explained Wallin, a former Leafs forward.

“Things are moving quickly. He is so personable that everyone who has worked with him feels something special,” he continued.

One opportunity leads to the next

In Sweden, Hildeby first joined the big club when one of Färjestad's goalkeepers came down with COVID-19. He impressed enough to be drafted by the Leafs in the fourth round in 2022 before serving as an understudy to Matt Tomkins — now with the Tampa Bay Lightning — last season.

Here he is now in the National League after playing around fifteen games with the Toronto Marlies in the American League.

“It's the same as when he established himself in the SHL, so he already has that experience if you want to draw a parallel,” Wallin analyzed. Then it's rare that you get into the NHL perfectly and get this opportunity if you're perfectly prepared for it. […] He will go out and give everything he can in training and during games.

It remains to be seen whether we will see Hildeby on the ice with the Maple Leafs in the coming days without her mascot costume. They faced the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday night before facing the San Jose Sharks on Saturday and Tuesday.
