Rebuilding Sharks show they’re still capable of a stinker

The San Jose Sharks’ recent success exemplified how far they’ve come this season. The Sharks’ lopsided loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday showed how much they still need to improve. Looking listless from the start, the Sharks allowed five goals in the first period and never recovered in an unsightly 8-1 loss to the Lightning at Amalie Arena. The Sharks and goalie Vitek Vanecek allowed five goals on 12 shots in the first period, as the Lightning, in 86 seconds, turned a 1-0 lead into a 4-0 advantage by the 8:55 mark on a goal by Conor Geekie and two from Brandon Hagel. Vanecek was pulled after the first period in favor of Mackenzie Blackwood. However, it still didn’t prevent the Sharks from enduring their most lopsided loss since a 9-2 thrashing at the hands of Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers on April 15 of last season. The Sharks’ three-game winning streak was snapped, and they have not won four straight games since going 4-0-0 to begin the 2021-2022 season. San Jose entered Thursday 14th in the Western Conference in point percentage

Warriors optimistic Steph, Draymond won’t be out long

SAN FRANCISCO — Without Steph Curry and Draymond Green for the first time all season, the Warriors put their highly touted depth to the test Friday against the Houston Rockets, the first of four straight at Chase Center. Coach Steve Kerr expressed optimism, though, that their two stars would be back on the court Friday, when they host the Minnesota Timberwolves. Green missed his second straight game with left calf tightness and underwent an MRI, which revealed no structural damage, the team said. In a news release, the team described his status for Friday as “questionable,” and Kerr added, “I think it’s possible that he’ll play.” Curry received the night off after posting team-highs with a 24-point, 11-assist double-double in a 119-115 loss to the Nuggets on Tuesday. He appeared on the injury report with a bilateral knee injury — or runner’s knee — the same ailment that forced him to sit out last week’s loss to the Thunder. “Three in four games, he’s in pain,” Kerr said of Curry. “We can’t play him through this stretch every game and expect him to get through

White supremacist gang member charged with murder in Southern California

A known white supremacist gang member in Orange County has been charged with murder in connection with a high-speed police pursuit crash that killed a Vietnamese tourist and seriously injured two others, officials announced Thursday. The Dec. 2 incident unfolded at around 7:30 p.m. when officers with the Fountain Valley Police Department responded to reports of arson at a home on the 18000 block of Arches Court. The suspect, 43-year-old Huntington Beach resident Timothy Cole, reportedly used an accelerant to set a bush on fire outside the home of his sister’s fiancé, according to a news release from the Orange County District Attorney’s Office. “The fire engulfed the bush in flames and spread to the structure of the home,” the Police Department stated.

L.A. County probation chief plans to quit as juvenile hall closure looms

L.A. County’s chief probation officer said he plans to depart the troubled agency as a deadline to evacuate Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall approaches, sources said, potentially leaving more than 200 incarcerated youths with no place to go. Probation chief Guillermo Viera Rosa sent a brief memo Wednesday to the county Board of Supervisors saying he planned to retire by the end of the year, according to several sources who requested anonymity to discuss a sensitive personnel matter. Viera Rosa’s unexpected departure would cap a 20-month stint during which he failed to reform an agency whose juvenile halls again face the threat of closure under mounting scrutiny from oversight agencies and the California attorney general’s office. The county Probation Department is responsible for overseeing both adult parolees and youths in juvenile camps and halls. “We have a lot of challenges in the Probation Department and I thank him for taking on this job during some difficult times,” Supervisor Janice Hahn, whose district includes the Los Padrinos facility in Downey, said in a statement. “I wish him the best.” The Board of Supervisors scheduled a closed-door meeting

Ladd McConkey is hurting, but Chargers’ offense would hurt more if he can’t face Chiefs

Ladd McConkey has not made a decision whether he will be available Sunday night against the Kansas City Chiefs as he manages knee and shoulder injuries, but the Chargers’ leading receiver is “going to do whatever I need to do” to get on the field for the AFC West showdown. “Shoot, if I can play, I’m gonna play,” McConkey said Thursday after practice, during which he was a limited participant. The rookie leads the Chargers with 815 yards receiving on 58 catches with four touchdowns. He torched the Atlanta Falcons for 105 yards receiving in the first half last Sunday, but said he injured his knee on a third-quarter catch when he was sandwiched on a tackle by Dee Alford and Troy Andersen. It was McConkey’s last catch of the game and he finished with 117 yards with 12 receptions while laboring through most of the fourth quarter. “Everybody has something going on,” said McConkey, who was limited in practice both Wednesday and Thursday. “Everybody’s playing through something this time of the year. So at the end of the day, it is what it is.

Here’s everything new coming to Disneyland in 2025 (so far) — including $67-per-day tickets

Disneyland is turning 70 next year, and the theme park has never missed an excuse to throw a nostalgia-fueled party. The coming months will be no different, and arguably the star of the festivities will be Walt Disney himself, albeit in robotic form. The Disneyland Resort’s 70th anniversary happenings launch May 16 and are expected to extend through summer 2026. To celebrate, Disneyland and Disney California Adventure will be resurrecting some fan favorites — the buoyant and gleaming nighttime parade Paint the Night will return to Disneyland — and the park will also get a new, technically advanced show that looks to explore Disneyland’s creation and the life of its patriarch. Coming in May to the Main Street Opera House, currently home to a patriotic attraction centered on Abraham Lincoln, is “Walt Disney — A Magical Life.” Walt Disney Imagineering, the company’s arm devoted to theme-park experiences, will unveil what is promised to be one of its most advanced audio-animatronics to date. As previously reported, the robotic show focusing on the Disney founder, who died in 1966, will be set in his studio office and
