UNITED STATES—It is that time of year, and in 2024, it seems like the plethora of Christmas is not just on the Hallmark channel America. Netflix and a few other streaming services have gotten in on the game and they’re releasing their Christmas tales of love to the public as well. Hell, Netflix is even going the route of a steamy version of Santa and his elves, wink wink.

Eclectic sonic explorer Cloud M will celebrate the release of “Cazimi” this weekend.

When you’re a producer in the context of film, music or any other creative realm, you’re a person who gets stuff done. Anthony Gillison, also known as Ant the Symbol, lives up to the title given his track record of seeing ideas through to fruition, and connecting people “for the greater good of the hip-hop scene,” as he puts it.

Looking back on a year of listening to Richmond’s music scene.

Moving cross-country and leaving behind the only NHL team he's ever called his own seems the best-case scenario to end a chaotic week for Kaapo Kakko. Six seasons as a New York Ranger came to an abrupt conclusion Wednesday night when the Seattle Kraken acquired the Finnish 23-year-old in exchange for Will Borgen and 2025 third- and sixth-round picks. The former second overall pick in 2019 watched the Rangers' 3-2 loss to the Blues Sunday from the sidelines, healthy scratched during the regular season for the first time. All this arrives during a 3-7-0 stretch leaving the Rangers clinging onto…

The Seattle Kraken now have a representative in February's 4 Nations Face-Off tournament. Kaapo Kakko, the 23-year-old forward acquired from the Rangers for Will Borgen, was already on Team Finland's roster. Countryman and now-Seattle teammate Eeli Tolvanen says, “He's a great player. He's a big body. He has really good hands. He uses his body well. He can score goals. I think he's going to be a big piece for us.” Tolvanen and Kakko played together on Finland's 2019 World Juniors team which captured the gold medal. For some Kraken fans, Finland's prospects in the 4 Nations Face-Off aren't their…

Skip to content [pitious sigh] Your TOI Leader was Brandon Montour, who finished with 24:04 logged. The last couple of games were frustrating. This? This was just ugly from stem to stern. The passing was completely off, the turnovers were gross, the offense could only very occasionally string together a half decent setup, the defense once again was doing that really aggravating thing where they do about half of the work for a zone clear and then just never get it…the Knights saw a team struggling and took ample advantage. Honestly, it felt like the distance between these two teams…

Specifically, the Avalanche decided that they needed some forests in front of their net. On November 30, they traded for Scott Wedgewood from the Nashville Predators, and on December 9, they traded for Mackenzie Blackwood from the San Jose Sharks. For Avalanche fans…

Skip to content The worst part is…you could argue this was probably their best game of this losing streak. Your TOI Leader was Brandon Montour, who played 22:15. You'll see it in the charts, but this really was one of the better games Seattle has played down this rough stretch. For a lot of this game, the Kraken actually managed to keep up with the Avs even if the shots didn't exactly land in their favor. Once again, a slow start killed them, but they fought back and took an unbelievably short lead. There was the beginnings of a back…

The Seattle Kraken offense is having a hard enough time getting shots ON goal, let alone IN goal. Despite what the ad slogan says, it's entirely possible for NOTHING to happen in Las Vegas. Those who watched the middle period of Saturday's 6-2 Kraken loss to the Golden Knights already know. It was brought to you by the letter “Z.” As in, Zzzzzzzzzz. As in a snoozefest, hockey's version of a sedative. During a more than nine-minute stretch of the 2nd period, Seattle didn't have even one shot on goal. To be fair, this overlapped a nine-minute segment in which…
