Perry forever the bridesmaid in ongoing search for second Stanley Cup
Always the bridesmaid, never a multiple Stanley Cup champion. And as far as relationships go, Corey Perry has to have a love-hate one going with the NHL's most prized possession at this point. A veteran of 20 NHL seasons — going back to when the team that drafted him 28th overall in 2003 was still calling itself the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim — Perry tasted victory from Lord Stanley's Mug during his sophomore season in the league back in 2006-07. And he hasn't been without his chances lately when it comes to securing a second. Fast-forward to these playoffs, which saw Perry hit his 40th birthday milestone, and he has reached the Stanley Cup Final for the fifth time in the past six years. Aside from falling in back-to-back finals with the Oilers, Perry was runner-up in 2021-22 with the Tampa Bay Lightning, 2020-21 with the Montreal Canadiens and 2019-20 with the Dallas Stars. That's five Stanley Cup eliminations in a span of six years with four different teams for a player during a span of his career where most are left wishing they could still be playing. 'Yeah, it's devastating. I mean, five of the last six, it doesn't get any easier,' Perry said. 'It just doesn't feel real. 'But you get ready and you move on and you get ready for next season. Hopefully, you have that opportunity to do it again.' Maybe one day, when the dust has settled on his career, Perry will be able to see it as a pretty amazing ride. 'Maybe in 10 years when I look back,' he said. 'Whenever I'm done playing.' But he's not at that point just yet, as he's already turned his attention to next season. 'I just want to win,' said Perry, who was on a one-year, $1.4-million contract. 'Hopefully it's here and hopefully we can figure something out and get something done, because this is a good team and there are some good things ahead.'

Family seeks justice for Raytown father, youth football coach shot
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The family of the man shot outside his Raytown home last weekend is speaking out after police say the suspect was trying to steal his car. Mario Jordan was shot in the head, now, he's recovering at Research Medical Center. He didn't want to talk on camera, but said he has a message; he wants people to value life. 'It was the scariest moment of my life, and I'm just glad that he's here with us today,' his fiancé Shanta Clifton said. 16-year-old identified as victim of deadly KC shooting near gas station Clifton said on her birthday, early Saturday morning at about 3:30 a.m., they woke up to their car alarm. She saw someone trying to steal their vehicle through their doorbell camera, and Mario ran outside, unarmed. 'As soon as he got out there, he was like, 'Hey, what're y'all doing?' I was like, ''Hey, get away from the car!' And they just started shooting and shooting and shooting and he fell,' Clifton said. 'And they wouldn't stop shooting.' Before someone fired bullets at Jordan, he saw three strangers and said two more in a getaway car. Raytown Police said they're still searching for a suspect. Emergency responders rushed Jordan to the hospital. Now, Jordan can only see figures. Mario's praying, he'll regain sight. However, he said doctors told him he may not be able to see again. 'He's probably not going to be able to see anymore,' Clifton said. 'They took something away from a great person, who did a lot for this city.' They have three children, and Mario works for General Motors. He's also passionate about investing in our youth, from helping kids produce their own music to coaching in a youth football league. 'Thank you for teaching me how to play football,' 13-year-old Logan Gervy said. He played for Jordan on the Mighty Ducks 'He was a great coach, he always knew how to talk to the players and know how to settle them down,' Gervy said. 'Safe Place Showdown': I-70 Series gives QuikTrip a chance to give back Clifton said Jordan has plans to start an adult flag football league. 'He still can do it, it's just going to be trying,' Clifton said. Nearly a dozen people visited the hospital on Thursday to show support. Mario's sister, Brianna Owens, says their family is leaning on faith. She hopes the people responsible for shooting her brother are caught. 'If you hear anything regarding this situation, please, please come forward, we really want to put this to rest, we really want to be able to sleep at tonight knowing these people aren't out on the street doing this.'

Emilio Estevez Says He Wrote ‘Mighty Ducks 4' To Make Up For 'Disasters' From Disney+ Series & Recalls ‘St. Elmo's Fire' Director Was A 'Nightmare On Set'
Emilio Estevez is making some big revelations in his latest interview, where he discusses writing a new Mighty Ducks sequel and shares his experience on the set of St. Elmo's Fire. One of Estevez's most memorable roles was playing Coach Bombay in the 1992 film The Mighty Ducks. The actor reprised his role in the Disney+ series The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers, but left the show after the first season as a result of 'nothing more than a good old-fashioned contract dispute' as well as 'a myriad of creative differences.' More from Deadline Emilio Estevez Not Returning To 'The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers' For Season 2 Rob Lowe Says 'St. Elmo's Fire' Sequel Is In 'Very, Very Early Stages' 'The Breakfast Club' Stars Reunite For The First Time Since Film's Release: "Moved To Have Us All Together" In a new interview with Josh Horowitz for the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Estevez said he 'wrote Mighty Ducks 4.' 'I wanted to make up for all of the disasters that happened on the Game Changers series,' he said. Estevez said the 'feature script' would have 'Coach Bombay coming back [and] being pulled back in by Josh Jackson's character and Kenan Thompson's character to coach a new team: an expansion team for the professional women's hockey league. So it would be an all-girl team.' The actor goes into detail that 'when we discover Bombay, he's coaching roller derby, and so he says, 'My girls are going with me. They have to have a shot.' And it was charming, and contemporary, and cool.' Despite his enthusiasm for a Mighty Ducks sequel, Estevez said that Disney told him that they didn't want to pursue that idea. During the same interview, Horowitz asked Estevez for 'the worst note a director has ever given' him, which made him recall his time on the set of 1985's St. Elmo's Fire. 'Have a good f***ing time,' Estevez said, director Joel Schumacher told him as the filmmaker was 'screaming at the top of his lungs.' 'To go from John Hughes [director of The Breakfast Club], who was collaborative, who was a mentor in many ways, who was calm, listened, to Joel, who was wildly insecure and was a nightmare on set and was a bully… And to have that happen in the same year was, and I vowed never to speak to my actors that way if I ever got a chance to direct. In 1984, I thought this was the best lesson a young actor who wants to direct could ever get. Thank you Joel,' Estevez said. Watch the full interview with Estevez in the video below.

Bruins defenseman Nikita Zadorov, given time to reflect, regrets comments made about teammate Jeremy Swayman
'Is that what that was? I don't know,' said Zadorov. 'No comment.' Upon reflection, Zadorov walked those sentiments back following practice at the Honda Center Tuesday afternoon. 'After a 7-2 loss, the players are frustrated. So obviously the time I was frustrated and whatever I said it wasn't towards Sway,' the defenseman said. 'It was just I didn't expect that question and sometimes you've got to understand the situation we are at and everything. You're [ticked after] the game.' Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Related : Advertisement Zadorov's postgame words were odd at the time because he's been one of several Bruins who have dropped the gloves to protect and/or stand up for teammates. 'Obviously we appreciate in this room guys stepping in for each other, and that's a culture that was here before I came here and I'm trying to follow it as a guy who stepped in for teammates,' said Zadorov. 'We've got [Jakub Lauko, Pavel Zacha], we've got everybody, Swayman . . . We're going to step up for each other and that's the main part for us. So, I think it wasn't even thinking coming towards Sway or anything like this.' Zadorov said he called Swayman after he made the comments to clear the air and prevent any misinterpretations. 'Obviously he's a huge part of our team. He signed for the next eight years and I'm here for five years, the next five years,' said Zadorov. 'So, we're going to be together for a long time and [there's] going to be a lot of success with this team and back in the playoff hockey and hopefully win the [Stanley] Cup in here.' Advertisement Incidentally, Zadorov flew back to Boston Wednesday to tend to a family matter and coach Joe Sacco said he was unsure when the defenseman would rejoin the team. *** It was a bit of a homecoming for Sacco, who played four-plus seasons in Anaheim for the expansion franchise that was known then as the Mighty Ducks. 'The good thing about coming here that first year, it was an opportunity for myself and all the other guys that were on the team to establish themselves as full-time NHL players,' said Sacco, who collected 62 goals and 130 points in 333 games with Anaheim. 'We were all let go by teams or left unclaimed by teams for that expansion draft that summer. So, the guys that got picked up there, we felt like we had something to prove to ourselves and to the teams that let us go. We had a great room that year. It was a lot of fun.' Sacco has the distinction of attempting the first penalty shot in franchise history, Nov. 12, 1997, against the Canadiens. 'Did I score?' Sacco asked following the club's morning skate. Informed that he did, Sacco smiled and said, 'All right, so that's a good sign. I think it was Jocelyn Thibault, who was the goalie back then. So, I didn't score many, but I scored on that one.' *** Advertisement Jim McBride can be reached at
