A Lucky Seven List Of All-Time Rangers Hustlers
If you are enjoying the Stanley Cup Final, by now it must be apparent that the Panthers and Oilers have HUSTLE written all over them. Special Kudos to aging vets Corey Perry of Edmonton and Brad Marchand of Florida. Advertisement Over the years, the Ranger roster was sprinkled with Marchand-types who never stopped skating. The Maven's All-Time Rangers hustlers appear here in Chronological time: The Best Rangers Hustlers On The Team Currently The Best Rangers Hustlers On The Team Currently Enough with the talk about the deadwood core. Here's a short list of The Maven's favorite TRY HARD GUYS. 1. PHIL WATSON: It wasn't that "Phiery Phil" set up the 1940 Stanley Cup-winning goal for New York in 1940, but that didn't hurt. Watson's big mouth churned away as fast as his skates. Phil never wore a sign that read: BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED! 2. DEAN PRENTICE: Shamefully, the Hockey Hall of Fame has ignored one of the most consistent left wingers in history. Hall Of Fame right wing Andy Bathgate would have been the first to claim that Dean's hard work led to AB's HOF nomination. Advertisement 3. ANDY HEBENTON: GM Muzz Patrick's greatest discovery, Hebby was toiling with Tacoma in the Western League when Muzz signed him as a winger for the 1955-56 season. Andy scored a huge OT goal for New York and became an NHL iron man. 4. RED SULLIVAN: Nobody in Sully's time had more go-go in his system than the center who would become captain. Red was a ferret on the spoor of a hot puck and one of his other favorite targets was the Habs goalie; whenever Jacques Plante wandered. 5. LARRY POPEIN: Before Bathgate became a superstar, Andy needed a crafty center to help launch his career. "Pope" was the perfect pivot; as well as a superior skater who "read" Bathgate's moves as well as any. 6. JOHNNY WILSON: Once the dynamo behind Gordie Howe and Ted Lindsay on the Dynastic Detroit Red Wings, Wilson – yet another iron man – was a hero on the 1961-62 Ranger club that made the playoffs under player-coach Doug Harvey. 7. NICK MICKOSKI: Groomed with the Rangers Eastern Amateur Hockey League's New York Rovers, "Bashful Nick Ready Top Click" wore his number 11 proudly. The Winnipeger's hustle did not result in any All-Star nominations but the fans – Maven included – loved the guy!

Enzo Staiola, Child Star in Vittorio De Sica's ‘Bicycle Thieves,' Dies at 85
Italian child actor Enzo Staiola, best known for playing, at the age of 9 years old, the sad-faced son Bruno Ricci in Vittorio De Sica's 1948 Neo-realist masterpiece Ladri di Biciclette (Bicycle Thieves), has died. He was 85. La Repubblica, the Italian newspaper, on Wednesday was first to report on the death of Staiola, who shot to international fame for his role in the Oscar-winning drama. No cause of death was given. More from The Hollywood Reporter Wes Anderson Shares How Indian Cinema Legend Satyajit Ray Shaped His Aesthetic Jason Constantine, Lionsgate Co-President, Dies at 55 Evan Shapiro to Keynote The Hollywood Reporter's Access Canada Summit Staiola's co-star in Bicycle Thieves in the role of Antonio Ricci, his impoverished father, was Lamberto Maggiorani, a factory worker-turned-actor, as De Sica wanted working class authenticity for his humanist drama. Antonio, with son in tow, in the film searches for a thief and his stolen bicycle, without which he cannot work and feed his young family. The loss of the bicycle proves to be a body-blow for the forlorn father, who goes on a frantic and fruitless odyssey through the streets of Rome. At one point, a desperate Antonio steals a bike himself and is caught by people nearby. When they show him mercy, the crestfallen father is left ashamed in front of his son. The classic Italian Neo-realist film left Staiola forever etched in celluloid history as Bruno Ricci, whose memorably big eyes were so expressive of childhood innocence as the young boy followed his anguished father through the streets of post-war Rome. Born on Nov. 15, 1939 in Rome, Staiola in a July 2023 interview with La Repubblica recalled first meeting De Sica, the celebrated Italian director, who apparently saw him walking home from school. 'I was coming back from school and at a certain point I noticed this big car following me at walking pace,' Staiola explained. 'Then this gentleman with gray hair, all dressed up, got out and asked me: 'What's your name?', and I was silent. And he said: 'But don't you talk?' 'I don't feel like talking,' I replied. My mother always told me not to be too familiar if someone stopped us… But De Sica followed me home. My parents recognized him right away. He was a famous actor. He sat at the table in our house and tried to convince them to let me act in his new film. But they didn't want to.' Staiola eventually got the part of Bruno without having to audition after his uncle took him down to De Sica's studio to be reintroduced. Despite the success of Bicycle Thieves, which won the Academy Award for best foreign film, Staiola never worked again with the famed Italian director. 'De Sica was like that; he discovered you and then that was it. Maybe if he had followed me and made me other proposals I would have become an actor for life,' he recalled in the 2023 interview. Staiola, after his breakout role in Bicycle Thieves (sometimes known by the title The Bicycle Thief), went on to star in a few other movies, including Joseph L Mankeiwicz's The Barefoot Contessa drama in 1954, which also starred Humphrey Bogart and Ava Gardner. His credits included 1950s Italian movies like Hearts Without Borders, Vulcano, Guilt is Not Mine and A Tale of Five Women. And he had a small part in 1977 in Flavio Mogherini's The Girl in the Yellow Pyjamas. But Staiola after early success retreated from film sets and became a mathematics teacher and a longtime clerk in a land registry office. And he appears to have regretted becoming an Italian movie star. 'In the end, it was a real pain in the ass,' he told La Repubblica. 'As a kid I could never play with my friends because if I made a mark on my face I couldn't make movies anymore. Then it was also a bit boring, the times of cinema are very long.'

Finneas says he was 'tear-gassed almost immediately' at Los Angeles ICE protest: 'They're inciting this'
Grammy Award-winning musician and producer Finneas says that he was tear-gassed while attending an ICE protest in Los Angeles over the weekend. 'Tear-gassed almost immediately at the very peaceful protest downtown — they're inciting this,' the 27-year-old, who is the older brother of Billie Eilish, wrote on his Instagram Story on Sunday. The incident occurred at one of the many protests that took place across the city over the weekend in response to the ongoing immigration raids conducted by ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agents targeting undocumented immigrants across the region. In an earlier Story post, Finneas added, 'F--- ICE.' A rep for Finneas did not immediately respond to Entertainment Weekly's request for comment. On Sunday, President Donald Trump announced that he would be deploying the National Guard to the area, further escalating tensions and prompting California Governor Gavin Newsom to formally request that the administration 'rescind their unlawful deployment of troops' and return them to his command. 'We didn't have a problem until Trump got involved,' Newsom wrote on social media. 'This is a serious breach of state sovereignty — inflaming tensions while pulling resources from where they're actually needed. Rescind the order. Return control to California.' Newsom has since confirmed that California will be taking legal action against Trump over his deployment of the National Guard. 'This is exactly what Donald Trump wanted,' he wrote on X (formerly Twitter). 'He flamed the fires and illegally acted to federalize the National Guard. The order he signed doesn't just apply to CA. It will allow him to go into ANY STATE and do the same thing. We're suing him.' In addition to his comments, Finneas also re-posted several comments about the raids on his Story, including one from comedian Tim Heidecker that read: 'I [heart emoji] LA. F-------------K ICE. F--- OFF ALL OF YOU WEEKEND GI JOE LOSERS. IF YOU ARE INTO THIS FASCIST S--- YOU ARE SMALL AND WEAK AND WILL LOSE.' Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly
