Florida Panthers capture first Stanley Cup with thrilling Game 7 victory over Edmonton Oilers

SUNRISE, FL — In a dramatic conclusion to the Stanley Cup Final, the Florida Panthers edged out the Edmonton Oilers 2-1 in Game 7 on Monday night, clinching the first NHL championship in franchise history and averting a historic collapse.

After jumping to a commanding 3-0 series lead, the Panthers appeared poised to secure their inaugural title. However, their momentum faltered, with Edmonton outscoring Florida 18-5 over the next three games, setting up a tense finale at Amerant Bank Arena.

The Panthers, playing before an electrified home crowd, struck first. Carter Verhaeghe redirected an Evan Rodrigues shot just after a power play expired, netting the opening goal four-and-a-half minutes into the first period. This marked Verhaeghe’s 11th goal of the playoffs, tying a franchise record for most goals in a single postseason.

Edmonton quickly responded as Mattias Janmark scored on a breakaway just over two minutes later, leveling the game at 1-1.

The Oilers nearly seized the lead in the second period when Warren Foegele’s shot slipped past Panthers’ goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky. However, defenseman Dmitry Kulikov made a crucial blind save, clearing the puck mere inches from the goal line. This defensive heroics set the stage for Sam Reinhart, who raced down the ice and fired a wrister from the right circle past Oilers’ netminder Stuart Skinner, restoring Florida’s lead at the 15:11 mark.

Reinhart’s goal was particularly poignant, as he had not scored during the Panthers’ three-game losing streak despite leading the team with 57 goals in the regular season.

In a tense third period, Edmonton pressed for the equalizer but failed to convert several opportunities. Bobrovsky was instrumental in preserving the lead, finishing the game with 23 saves.

The victory marked a historic achievement for the Panthers, who had previously lost in the Stanley Cup Final three times, including last year. Florida joins an elite group, becoming just the third team in 40 years to win the Stanley Cup after losing in the final the previous year.

“It’s not a dream anymore. It’s not a dream, it’s reality. I can’t believe it, I can’t believe it,” said Panthers’ star Matthew Tkachuk. “I can believe how good these two years have been. I’m so thankful for this group of guys…something really special here with what we have.”

Despite the loss, Edmonton’s Connor McDavid was awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy for his exceptional playoff performance, tallying 42 points (eight goals and 34 assists) in 25 games. McDavid broke Wayne Gretzky’s record for most assists in a playoff year and became the third player in NHL history to surpass 40 points in a single postseason.

The Oilers aimed to become only the second team to overcome a 0-3 deficit in the Stanley Cup Final, a feat accomplished only once before by the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1942 against the Detroit Red Wings. However, with the defeat, the three-decade Stanley Cup drought for Canadian teams continues. The last Canadian team to hoist the Cup was the Montreal Canadiens in 1993.

As the Panthers celebrate their historic victory, the Oilers and their fans are left to ponder what might have been, even as McDavid’s individual brilliance shines through the disappointment.

Texas Longhorns baseball coach David Pierce fired after eight seasons

Texas Longhorns baseball coach David Pierce fired after eight seasons

AUSTIN, Texas — David Pierce’s tenure as the head baseball coach at the University of Texas has come to an end after eight seasons and nearly 300 wins. Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte announced the mutual decision on Monday.

“After the season, Coach Pierce and I had some time to visit about the year, the future of our program, where we are, and where we’re headed,” Del Conte said. “It was a difficult decision for us both, but we have mutually agreed that we should make a change.”

Pierce took the helm in 2017, succeeding legendary coach Augie Garrido, and compiled a record of 297-162 with the Longhorns. Prior to joining Texas, Pierce led the Tulane Green Wave to a 76-46 mark over three seasons. His overall record as a Division I head coach stands at 494-271 over 13 years. Pierce had two years remaining on his contract.

In a statement, Pierce expressed gratitude for his time at Texas. “It certainly is a time I will always cherish as a coach, and I am so appreciative of The University of Texas for the opportunity,” he said. “Thank you to Longhorn Nation, the fan base, our support staff, student assistants, and the media who covered us so well.”

Under Pierce, Texas enjoyed significant success, including four 40-win seasons and a 50-win campaign in 2021 that ended in the semifinals of the Men’s College World Series (MCWS). The Longhorns reached the MCWS in 2018 and 2022 but missed the postseason in 2019, the only time under Pierce they failed to advance.

This season, Pierce also took on pitching coach duties, but the Longhorns struggled on the mound, recording a 4.91 ERA, the highest in the past decade, and issuing 258 walks, the most since 2018. The team’s 497 strikeouts were a significant drop from previous years.

Despite the coaching change, Texas will retain a strong core group of players, including Big 12 player of the year and third-team All-American Max Belyeu, second-team All-American shortstop Jalin Flores, and utility player Jared Thomas.

Next season, Texas will join the Southeastern Conference (SEC), which had eleven teams in the NCAA tournament and four advancing to the MCWS this year.

In full statements, both Pierce and Del Conte emphasized the mutual nature of the decision and expressed their appreciation for each other and the University of Texas.

David Pierce concluded, “I especially want to thank the coaches and our former and current players who helped us win a lot of games and represented our program in a first-class manner. You will forever be in my heart, and I look forward to continuing to cheer you on in baseball and beyond.”

Chris Del Conte added, “I am so grateful for Coach Pierce and all he has poured into our baseball program for the past eight years. He is an incredible person, and I’ve truly enjoyed my time working with him. I appreciate the passion, pride, and steadfast commitment he had for coaching and working with our student-athletes.”

As Texas prepares for its transition to the SEC, the search for a new head baseball coach begins.

$15M settlement reached after doctors allegedly left heart surgeries to perform other operations

$15M settlement reached after doctors allegedly left heart surgeries to perform other operations

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — The Federal Bureau of Investigation is investigating three Texas Medical Center institutions after a whistleblower came forward accusing three heart surgeons of violating regulations during complicated operations.

On Monday, the FBI posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, saying that the doctors had “gambled with their patients’ care during complicated open-heart-surgeries no less, compromising quality care over quantity and then falsely billed Medicare for reimbursement of services they improperly delegated.”

According to U.S. Attorney Alamdar S. Hamdani, Baylor St. Luke’s Medical Center (BSLMC), Baylor College of Medicine (BCM), and Surgical Associates of Texas P.A. (SAT) have jointly agreed to pay $15 million to resolve the claims.

The settlement resolved allegations from June 3, 2013, to Dec. 21, 2020. The civil lawsuit alleges three surgeons, 71-year-old Dr. Joseph Coselli, 63-year-old Dr. Joseph Lamelas, and 77-year-old Dr. David Ott, violated Medicare teaching physician and informed consent regulations.

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, the investigation began on Aug. 7, 2019, when the whistleblower alleged that Coselli, Lamelas, and Ott regularly ran two operating rooms at once and delegated key aspects of extremely complicated heart surgeries to unqualified medical residents at St. Luke’s.

The sealed qui tam lawsuit alleges that the heart surgeries at hand are some of the most complicated operations performed at any hospital, including coronary artery bypass grafts, valve repairs, and aortic repair procedures.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office said these surgeries typically involve opening a patients’ chest and placing the patient on the bypass machine for some portion of time.

The lawsuit alleges that the surgeons ran two operating rooms at once and failed to attend the surgical timeout, which is a critical moment when the entire team would pause and identify key risks to prevent surgical errors.

“Patients entrusted these surgeons with their lives – submitting to operations where one missed cut is the difference between life and death,” said Hamdani. “Allegedly, the patients were unaware their doctor was leaving for another operating room. This settlement reaffirms the importance of Medicare requirements governing surgeon presence and ensuring that no physician – no matter how prominent or successful – can skirt around the rules.”

The doctors are accused of hiding this information by falsely attesting on medical records they were physically present for the “entire” operation.

“The complete disregard for patient safety exhibited by these three doctors put patients at risk and violated Medicare regulations for their own convenience and greed,” said Special Agent in Charge Jason E. Meadows of the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General. “This record settlement demonstrates our steadfast commitment to protecting Medicare beneficiaries and working with our law enforcement partners to utilize all the tools in our arsenal to hold accountable those who steal from Medicare and other federal health care programs.”

Baylor St. Luke’s Medical Center sent Eyewitness News the following statement:

Baylor St. Luke’s Medical Center has reached an agreement with the Department of Justice (DOJ) to resolve a documentation and billing matter involving compliance and billing requirements set forth by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The DOJ claims are strictly allegations and the settlement by Baylor St. Luke’s is not an admission of liability. Baylor St. Luke’s remains committed to complying with all CMS regulations. Baylor St. Luke’s is a world-renowned academic medical center that cares for patients from throughout the world with the most complex conditions. The hospital provides its patients with safe, high-quality care and remains committed to compliance with all applicable regulations.

The $15 million recovery is the largest settlement to date involving concurrent surgeries. The whistleblower will receive $3,075,000 due to the False Claims Act, which entitles the private whistleblower who commences the suit to a portion of the recovery.

Judge sets $10M bail for 1 of the capital murder suspects accused of strangling 12-year-old girl

J udge sets $10M bail for 1 of the capital murder suspects accused of strangling 12-year-old girl

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A judge set bail at $10 million for one of the capital murder suspects accused of killing 12-year-old Jocelyn Nunagray, who was found in a creek in north Houston last week.

On Monday, 26-year-old Franklin Jose Pena Ramos faced a judge, who believes the man is a flight risk.

He’s been placed under a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, hold since June 20.

An ICE spokesperson confirmed last week that Pena and the second suspect, 22-year-old Johan Jose Martinez Rangel are from Venezuela and were in the country illegally. Border Patrol arrested them near El Paso but released them with an order to appear.

In fact, the Harris County District Attorney’s Office said Pena still had on an ankle monitor given to him by ICE at the time of the crime.

Martinez is due in court on Tuesday.

Investigators said they believe the young girl snuck out of her home around 10 p.m. Sunday, June 16.

According to court documents, the two men asked Jocelyn for directions after encountering her on Kuykendahl Road.

Court documents read that the men then allegedly lured Jocelyn underneath a bridge, where they kept her for two hours. She was tied up, had her pants taken off, and was strangled, officials said.

A bystander found her body floating in a creek shortly before 7 a.m. on June 17.

Prosecutors say she had marks on her neck and scrapes on her body consistent with being dragged.

The state adds that Jocelyn and the men were seen on video at about 12:57 a.m. on June 17 walking down by the bayou. At 3:04 a.m., only the two men emerged.

An autopsy confirmed her cause of death was strangulation.

The state said it interviewed witnesses who told them they saw the men at Ojos Locos hours before Jocelyn’s murder.

According to another witness, Pena confessed he and Martinez did something bad after partying and were looking for money to leave town.

Both men worked construction and allegedly asked their boss for those funds after explaining what happened, the lead prosecutor told ABC13.

We also learned in court Monday that Pena told authorities he tried to tell Martinez to stop, but then Martinez allegedly put his arm around Jocelyn’s neck and covered her mouth.

After she died, Martinez allegedly tied her up and and told Pena to put her body in the water to remove any DNA. Martinez also reportedly admitted to changing his beard to avoid attention.

Jocelyn’s family said they are relieved the two men accused of murdering her are in custody.

Her funeral will be held this Thursday, followed by a celebration of life at Gallery Furniture.

Supreme Court to decide fate on state bans on gender-affirming care following appeal

Supreme Court to decide fate on state bans on gender-affirming care following appeal

The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal from the Biden administration aimed at blocking state bans on gender-affirming care, marking a significant move in the ongoing battle over transgender rights.

The appeal addresses a Tennessee law that restricts puberty blockers and hormone therapy for transgender minors. The federal appeals court in Cincinnati had allowed laws in Tennessee and Kentucky to proceed after they were initially blocked by lower courts.

However, the Supreme Court has not yet taken action on a separate appeal from Kentucky.

Republican-led states have recently imposed various restrictions on transgender individuals, affecting healthcare, sports participation, bathroom access, and drag shows. In contrast, the Biden administration and Democratic-led states have been working to extend protections, including a new federal regulation aimed at safeguarding transgender students.

Lawyers representing transgender teens in Tennessee have urged the Supreme Court for prompt intervention, arguing that without it, transgender youth and their families will face uncertainty about accessing necessary medical care.

Among those supporting the Supreme Court review is actor Elliot Page, who, along with 56 other transgender individuals, has joined a legal filing in favor of the appeal.

Arguments in the case are scheduled for the fall. The decision comes as South Carolina recently became the 25th state to implement a law restricting or banning gender-affirming medical care for transgender minors. Despite these treatments being available in the U.S. for over a decade and endorsed by major medical associations, many state restrictions are currently facing legal challenges. The Supreme Court had previously allowed Idaho to enforce its restrictions following a lower court block.

Currently, 24 states have laws preventing transgender women and girls from participating in certain women’s or girls’ sports competitions. Additionally, 11 states have enacted laws barring transgender girls and women from using girls’ and women’s bathrooms in public schools and some government facilities.

The Supreme Court has infrequently addressed transgender issues. In a landmark 2020 decision, the Court ruled that a civil rights law protects gay, lesbian, and transgender individuals from employment discrimination.

Earlier, in 2016, the Court agreed to hear a case involving a transgender student barred from using the boys’ bathroom in his Virginia high school, supported by the Obama administration. However, the case was dropped after a directive allowing students to use bathrooms matching their gender identity was rescinded during the Trump administration.

The directive had influenced an appeals court ruling in favor of the student, Gavin Grimm.

In 2021, the justices declined to intervene in Grimm’s case after the appeals court ruled in his favor again, with Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas expressing they would have heard the school board’s appeal.

Suspect’s half-brother says mom, sister, and brother-in-law killed in west Houston

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Charges have been filed against a man for fatally shooting three family members in what he claimed to be a home invasion in a west Houston apartment on Saturday, according to officials.

The video above is from the initial June 22 report. 

Bryan J. Fernandez, 27, is now charged with capital murder for the death of his mother Leonor Hernandez, age 65, his sister Karen Herrera, age 43, and his brother-in-law Thomas Kupriakov, age 38.

According to homicide detectives, Houston Police Department patrol officers responded to Fernandez’s residence at the 10500 block of Hammerly Boulevard after he called 911 to report a home invasion just before 3:15 p.m.

When officers arrived, they found all three victims dead from gunshot wounds. HPD said they interviewed Fernandez, who said he called 911 after shooting the alleged burglars.

“The home invasion deal, it’s not true. My mom, sister, and her husband were all executed in their apartment,” Carlos Flores, Fernandez’s half-brother, said.

ORIGINAL REPORT: 2 women, 1 man dead after home invasion in west Houston, HPD says

Further investigation revealed there wasn’t a home invasion and that the victims were relatives of Fernandez.

Police said the 65-year-old woman lived in the apartment with Fernandez, and the man and the second woman were visiting and staying there.

Fernandez was taken into custody and is expected to appear in court Sunday afternoon.

According to court documents Fernandez was convicted of a DWI charge back in 2019 and jailed for 180 days.

“My mom fought with all of us because of him. She always trying to protect him and that’s where it got her,” Flores said.

According to HPD officers had responded to the apartment two other times before the shooting.

Once last year and then again this year, both for mental health-related calls.

Flores says he always worried his half-brother would flip a switch and hurt someone.

“My brother needs to pay for what he did, and he needs to assume the consequences and take charge of that,” Flores said.

Fernandez was denied bond Sunday but he is due back in court on Monday.

Inmate who fled from Angleton trusty camp captured 10 hours after escape Sunday, TDCJ says

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — On Saturday, a 33-year-old Bexar County man became the third inmate to escape from the Texas Department of Corrections Clemens Unit within the year.

Before his escape, Kidanny Robles was last seen at the Clemens Unit Trusty Camp at approximately 10 p.m. Saturday according to TDCJ Director of Communications Amanda Hernandez. Robles was discovered missing during a routine headcount around midnight.

Robles was apprehended at approximately 10 a.m. on Sunday inside an empty guest home on Jamison Drive near County Road 290, fewer than five miles from the camp. A young family occupied the main house on property at the time.

The homeowner told ABC13 her family did not realize Robles was inside their guesthouse.

Authorities tracked him along Oyster Creek, a creek that runs from the Trusty Camp to the home’s backyard.

Hernandez said authorities used dogs to trace Robles’ scent.

Hernandez said a TDCJ captain shot Robles in the arm as he was “refusing orders to stop” and “continued to flee.”

Chief Deputy Ian Patin of the Brazoria County Sheriff’s Office echoed that “at least one” TDCJ employee shot at Robles.

Robles was taken to UTMB Galveston for treatment.

According to records, Robles was serving a 20-year sentence for aggravated robbery, robbery, and burglary out of Bexar County. He was also serving a 180-day sentence for possession of a controlled substance from Nueces County in 2021. He returned to TDCJ custody after violating his parole in 2023, landing him in the trusty camp.

According to Hernandez, the camp is seperate from the Clemens Units which houses G1-G4 inmates. She said it is designed for inmates that require a lower level of supervision.

Preliminarily, Hernendez said authorities believe Robles “walked away” from the camp. Patin said it does not appear he had help.

“At this time we think all of our normal protocols and processes were followed so we think he just walked away being in a trusty camp is a little different than a normal prison, so we think that’s just what happened,” Hernandez said.

In October 2023, 20-year-old Cadarian Avery also “walked away” from the camp. He was serving a five year sentence for theft at the time.

In December 2023, Robert Yancy Jr.escaped from the higher security Clemens Unit with help from his mother, a former TDCJ corrections officer. Yancy was in prison for continuous sexual abuse of a child.

All three men were captured within 24 hours.

Robles is expected to face felony escape charges.

‘Inside Out 2’ making box office history as Pixar sequel grosses $100M in 2nd weekend
JOY AND ANXIETY — Disney and Pixar’s “Inside Out 2” returns to the mind of freshly minted teenager Riley just as a new Emotion shows up unexpectedly. Much to Joy’s surprise, Anxiety isn’t the type who will take a back seat either. Featuring the voices of Amy Poehler as Joy and Maya Hawke as Anxiety, “Inside Out 2” releases only in theaters Summer 2024.© 2023 Disney/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.

LOS ANGELES — Weekend number two was just as joyous for “Inside Out 2.”

The Pixar sequel collected $100 million in ticket sales in its second weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday, setting a new record for an animated movie in its follow-up frame in theaters.

The previous best second weekend for an animated title was the $92 million for “The Super Mario Bros. Movie.” Only six movies ever have had better second weekends.

In just a week and a half, “Inside Out 2” has become 2024’s highest-grossing film to date with $724.4 million globally, including $355.2 million in U.S. and Canadian theaters. That passes the $711.8 million worldwide total of “Dune: Part Two.”

“Inside Out 2” will likely blow through the $1 billion mark in about a week, which would make it the first film since “Barbie” to do so.

The extent of the “Inside Out 2” success startled Hollywood, which had grown accustomed to lower expectations as the film industry watched ticket sales this year slump about 40% below pre-pandemic totals, according to data firm Comscore, before “Inside Out 2” came along.

A behind-the-scenes look at ‘Inside Out 2’

On The Red Carpet is taking viewers inside Pixar Animation Studios for a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the new film, “Inside Out 2,”

The record haul for “Inside Out 2,” though, recalled past years when $1 billion grosses were more commonplace for the Walt Disney Co. It is also a much-needed blockbuster for Pixar, which after experimenting with direct-to-streaming releases, reconsidered its movie pipeline and approach to mass-audience appeal.

Now, “Inside Out 2,” which dipped a mere 35% from its $154 million domestic debut, is poised to challenge “The Incredibles 2” ($1.2 billion) for the all-time top grossing Pixar release. It could also steer the venerated animation factory toward more sequels. Among its upcoming films is “Toy Story 5,” due out in 2026.

For theater owners, “Inside Out 2” could hardly have been more needed. But it also reminded exhibitors of how feast-or-famine the movie business has become in recent years. Since the pandemic, movies like “Barbie,” “Spider-Man: No Way Home” and “Top Gun: Maverick” have pushed ticket sales to record heights, but fallow periods in between box-office sensations have grown longer. Ticket sales over Memorial Day last month were the worst in three decades.

Some of 2024’s downturn can be attributed to release-schedule juggling caused by last year’s writers and actors strikes. The biggest new release over the weekend was Jeff Nichols’ motorcycle gang drama “The Bikeriders,” a film originally slated to open in 2023 before the actors strike prompted its postponement.

“The Bikeriders,” starring Jodie Comer, Austin Butler and Tom Hardy, came in on the high side of expectations with $10 million from 2,642 venues in its opening weekend. “The Bikeriders,” which cost about $35 million to produce, was originally to be released by Disney before New Regency took it to Focus Features last fall.

The strong business for “Inside Out 2” appeared to raise ticket sales generally. Sony Pictures’ “Bad Boys: Ride or Die” held well in its third week of release, collecting $18.8 million. It remained in second place. The “Bad Boys” sequel, starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, has grossed $146.9 million domestically thus far.

Next week, the sci-fi horror prequel “A Quiet Place: Day One” and Kevin Costner’s Western epic “Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1” will hope some of the “Inside Out 2” success rubs off on them.

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.

1. “Inside Out 2,” $100 million.

2. “Bad Boys: Ride or Die,” $18.8 million.

3. “The Bikeriders,” $10 million.

4. “The Garfield Movie, $3.6 million.

5. “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes,” $3.6 million.

6. “If,” $2.8 million.

7. “The Exorcism,” $2.4 million.

8. “Thelma,” $2.2 million.

9. “The Watchers,” $1.9 million.

10. “Ghost: Rite Here Rite Now,” $1.5 million.
