George Maharis, dashing star of ‘Route 66,’ dies at 94 George Maharis, an actor with rugged good looks who cruised the country in a Corvette convertible in the hit early 1960s TV series “Route 66,” died May 24 at his home in Beverly Hills, Calif. He was 94. The cause was complications from hepatitis, his friend and caretaker Marc Bahan told the Hollywood Reporter. On “Route 66,” Mr. Maharis played Buz Murdock, a hardened survivor of New York City’s Hell’s Kitchen. His co-star Martin Milner, who died in 2015, was Tod Stiles, a young man raised in wealth who upon his father’s death was left with nothing but a shiny new Corvette. Each week brought a new adventure in a new city. "Route 66″ was the rare series at the time that was filmed on location, moving to new towns and cities for each new episode. It featured as guests many future stars, including Robert Redford, James Caan, Robert Duvall and Alan Alda in some of their earliest roles. “Route 66” spawned its own hit song, an instrumental composed by Nelson Riddle. The more familiar tune, “(Get Your Kicks On) Route 66,” was not connected to the series. Mr. Maharis left the show after the third season, reputedly amid rumors of ill health and a contract dispute, but his biographer, Karen Blocher, said it was because the producers found out he was gay and wanted him off the show after promoting his virile image.

was this game even open to the public?

But then you wouldn't feel like garbage for asking a simple question. Can't have that!

Pinawa...nuclear plant...glowing... I'm pretty sure when we played Pinawa in hockey in the 80's they had an Isotope on their jerseys. The original Springfield Isotopes. Excellllleeeennttt.....doh!

Coke Zero. Goes together with Crown Black like Khari to Milt. Like Zach to Schoen. Like Housley to Selanne.

Still not sure how or why anyone would drink this if they had Crown Royal Black available in a liquor store that was close by. 😜

I've heard glowing reviews of Pinawa.

Reminded me of the Jets a lot, just lacking that killer instinct when it counts, while good old Matt T. seems to know exactly when to sink that knife in. What a run for that guy. I totally couldn't stand him in Calgary but man does Pa Ma have him playing disciplined smart hockey right now. Florida must be loving it that Dallas won tonight, extra two nights off, which at this time of year, are freaking gold.

I thought that he had a bead on a starting position....my bad.

He should be coming off rehab from his third quad pull by then...

Sorry, I meant Kelly McCrimmon who is in management, not coaching. Congrats Pa Ma - you are going to the big show!

yeah maybe we give the vets not just training camp but also the first three or four games off. Make the league a bit more fair too....

I'd go even one more... Back in 2016 we were able to get pre-game sideline passes so we were on the sidelines during warm ups(it was the day that the Jets drafted Laine so they had the draft going live on the big screen), and Moe stopped and posed for a picture with my niece and nephew. It was a much appreciated gesture of niceness.

and a bunch of those Canadians are from Manitoba. Including the coaching staff.

and it worked! I'm coming to the home opener! Thank you Westjet for the great seat sale!

Maybe he's signing up new players as clients. Remember, people don't plan to fail, they fail to plan.

or two as the case may be.

If a tree fell on Bruce Cockburn, would anybody care?

Insiders Weigh in On Sabres’ Rumored Interest in Hellebuyck The future of netminder Connor Hellebuyck with the Winnipeg Jets remains uncertain. As the team goes through what is expected to be some sizeable offseason changes, and as the goaltender approaches unrestricted free agency next July, whether he stays with the Jets or winds up elsewhere before then is unclear. Speculation surrounds the 30-year-old, with the New Jersey Devils and the Buffalo Sabres emerging as potential suitors if a blockbuster trade were on the table. The Sabres, in particular, are rumored to have interest and could greatly benefit from landing a proven number-one goalie to boost their playoff aspirations, notes multiple journalists and insiders. As per a report from The Athletic’s Michael Russo and Eric Duhatschek, the Sabres have a genuine interest in acquiring Hellebuyck. Landing a goalie of his caliber could take them one step farther along their path to be considered serious contenders, while also providing a mentor and insurance policy for promising young prospect, Devon Levi. Levi might be the goalie of the future in Buffalo, but whether he’s ready to take that step now remains to be seen. Fellow Athletic scribe Matthew Fairburn weighed in on the discussion and agreed that Hellebuyck would be the best option for the Sabres, especially when considering the limited choices available in this summer’s free agent and trade markets. Fairburn suggests exploring the possibility of a trade if the Jets’ makes sense if the team can do so without sacrificing their top prospects like Matthew Savoie or Jiri Kulich.

I'm really interested in who is getting reps with what group, and who is on the field with who. Come on reporters, let's hear it! 🤣

is he going to be their only receiver?

Gary Bettman is the new commissioner of the CFL and is moving the Bombers to Phoenix? - edit - what's with the eye rolls?
