King, however, has reigned supreme on the country's banned baby name list for the past 16 years (other than one blip: being ousted by Prince in 2023). In fact, multiple rejected names last year were related to royalty (Prince, Princess, Queen and Sovereign among others). Others were nixed for relating to cannabis (Indica, Indika and Sativa).
One of the sneakiest and smartest aspects of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is the way it pays homage to some of its source materials, without being obvious or dull. As with Season 1, the big-name monsters - like Godzilla and Kong - are used sparingly, while the humans continue to take center stage against a new threat.
Since NASCAR's top series took its first green flag on June 19, 1949, a span of 77-plus years of Cup racing, no driver has ever started one of those seasons with four consecutive victories.

The Arizona Cardinals will take on the Carolina Panthers in the annual Hall of Fame exhibition game on Aug. 6 as part of enshrinement week. The Hall announced the matchup on Wednesday between two of the teams that have former stars set to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame next summer.
When Smith took over the Senators, the franchise was basically a construction site. There was no foundation, with just a pile of high‑end draft picks and a lot of hope they would grow into a Stanley Cup contender. However, during his tenure, Smith became known as the ultimate "player's coach."

House of the Dragon was the first Game of Thrones spinoff series to hit screens. It's adapted from Martin's fictional history of House Targaryen, Fire & Blood, which draws on unreliable narratives and sometimes conflicting first-person accounts. The show was an instant success upon its 2022 premiere, breaking viewership records at HBO and credited with reviving interest in Westeros after the divisive Game of Thrones finale.
Jonathan Huberdeau's 2025-26 campaign is reportedly over. The veteran winger scored Calgary's opening goal on the power play in a 4-3 win over Edmonton, but Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman is reporting that it was Huberdeau's final game of the season.

Jack Eichel and Tomas Hertl led the charge for the Knights, scoring first and not looking back. The first period saw the Sharks go down 2-1 after a goal from Collin Graf was quickly countered by the Knights Pavel Dorofeyev. Shots were 13-7 for the Knights after 1, and it didn't get much better from there. The second period is where the Knights did most of their damage, scoring 3 goals to go up 5-2.
"It happened organically," DeBoer shared. "I was talking with a close friend of his and I just felt that I wanted to relay that message to him. Don't listen to the noise, keep doing what you're doing, there's no truth to this."
