Connor McDavid And The Rangers, Plus Playoff One-Liners
1. Connor McDavid is not that far away from free agency and you know what that means to The Maven: Or do You? I'm wondering whether The Wonderman ever could become a Ranger. 2. If ex-Oilers Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier, Kevin Lowe and Esa Tikkanen – just to name a few – could don a Blue Shirt, why not McDavid? 3. Let's put it this way, if McD&Company do what they always do, NOT WIN THE CUP, don't you think an aging Captain Connor will start looking around. 4. There's no law against that but a performer of his immense talent might think like The Great One did; it's time to get out of town and play in a metropolis. Could be L.A. could be New York, could even be Toronto where they never hold Stanley! 5. Looking backward, one of the Rangers' biggest mistakes was not keeping Ryan Reaves as a Blueshirt. 6. Or as Bernie Rhode likes to say, "There are no lions in the Rangers lineup." 7. When the Oilers blew their third period lead last night, Sportsnets Mark Spector called it an "immature collapse." (Does that mean that there's something like a "mature collapse" in hockey?) 8. Brendan Shanahan as Prince of the Islanders kingdom is an intriguing prospect – if it happens. I interviewed Shanny after the Devils drafted him. He had confidence written all over him and the brightest green sports jacket as well. 9. We should have a better idea about what's inside – as well as outside – the Hurricanes. (Likely a lot. Then again so do the other guys." 10. If I was a Maple Leafs fan wanted my team to win The Stanley Cup next spring, I'd hope very hard that Brad Treliving unloads John Tavares. (By the way, that's not to suggest that the Leafs ever will win the prize. And I do mean EVER!)

Senate committee voices concerns over expansive low-THC medical cannabis House bill
AUSTIN (Nexstar) – On Monday morning, a Texas House bill that addresses access to low-THC medical cannabis raised some concerns in the Senate State Affairs Committee. House Bill 46 aims to increase the number of medical cannabis providers, expand patient eligibility and allow patients to use inhalers to receive the medication. Bill sponsor Senator Charles Perry, R-Lubbock, acknowledged the concerns that have been raised about the legislation. At Monday's hearing, Perry described the bill as 'definitely a work in progress.' 'Some of the things in it are a good step in the right direction, some of the things that are in it are kind of a backwards look, and some of the things in it could open up the door for unintended consequences,' said Perry during the hearing. 'You said opens the door. I think it puts a C4 blast on it,' said State Sen. Brian Birdwell, R-Granbury. Texas House backs bill to expand access to low-THC medical cannabis Perry authored Senate Bill 1505, which is listed as the Senate companion bill to HB 46. Both bills work to expand Texas' Compassionate Use Program (CUP), a program that has grown since 2015 to provide low-THC cannabis to those with certain medical conditions. Currently, all three licensed Texas dispensaries that distribute medical cannabis prescriptions are located in Austin and must store their inventory there. To serve patients in other cities or rural areas, the dispensaries have to drive the medication out after an order is placed. If the patient isn't available to receive the prescription, the dispensary has to return the order to Austin, making the process slow and inefficient for both sides. Compared to its Senate companion, House Bill 46 is more expansive in medical cannabis access. While the Senate bill would increase the amount of licensed dispensaries to no more than six, the House bill allows for 11 licenses. The Senate version also defines 'low-THC cannabis' as containing no more than five milligrams of tetrahydrocannabinols per dose, while the House sets the maximum dosage at 20 milligrams of tetrahydrocannabinols. '1505 and this bill both wants to expand access in a responsible way to where you're not driving a product from Austin to Lubbock only to have that person not on the recipient end of it, to have to drive back—That is a legitimate, prescribed-by-physician affliction named in statute that could benefit,' Perry told the committee. The head of one of Texas' three licensed dispensaries, Texas Original Compassionate Cultivation, testified at the hearing. CEO Nico Richardson said he is 'supportive of the conversation between 1505 and 46.' He said the bills help fix the system by adding accessibility through satellite locations, allowing for pulmonary inhalation, and lowering the cost of the medicine. 'This is a poison': Texas Senate passes bill that would ban THC products from being sold Perry said the Senate will consider a committee substitute, which is still being drafted, for HB 46. Tuesday's vote on Senate Bill 3 in the House will likely shape what is in that substitute legislation. SB 3 places strict regulations on the sale of consumable hemp in Texas, including new fees and criminal offenses. 'Senate Bill 3 is up tomorrow in the House, so we'll see where that lands and see where this all fits together,' Perry said. 'It's all kind of a package deal.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
