SUNRISE — All practice long, you could watch Aleksander Barkov work with Matthew Tkachuk. Man, it was beautiful. They didn’t talk much. A head nod from Barkov. A word, maybe two, from Tkachuk as they skated by each other before working on the power play.

A Broward County sheriff’s deputy driving fast through through an intersection caused the four-vehicle crash that sent 10 to the hospital late Saturday morning, a passenger in one of the vehicles said Sunday.
Deborah Rolle said she was sitting at a red light in the left-turn lane of 27th Avenue, preparing to turn east onto West Sunrise Boulevard, when two Broward County Sheriff’s Office vehicles showed up in the intersection “speeding toward us.”
One of the deputies, driving a Chevy Tahoe SUV, struck a black SUV that was driving through the intersection on Sunrise, then crossed the median and struck the grey Hyundai Elantra in which Rolle was a passenger, pushing it back several feet, Rolle said.
Rolle gave the South Florida Sun Sentinel a copy of an incident report that identifies the four vehicles involved in the crash and their drivers, but says nothing about the cause of the crash or how it unfolded.

ATLANTA (AP) — Donald Trump told Republican donors at his Florida resort this weekend that President Joe Biden is running a “Gestapo administration,” the latest example of the former president employing the language of Nazi Germany in his campaign rhetoric.
The remarks Saturday at Mar-a-Lago were described by people who attended the event and spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the private session.
The “Gestapo” comment, one person said, came as Trump renewed his complaint that Biden’s White House is behind the multiple criminal prosecutions of the presumptive GOP nominee, including his ongoing hush money and fraud trial in New York and additional cases stemming from his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
The Gestapo was the secret police force of the Third Reich that squelched political opposition generally and, specifically, targeted Jewish people for arrest during the Holocaust.

NEW YORK (AP) — “The Fall Guy,” the Ryan Gosling-led, action-comedy ode to stunt performers, opened below expectations with $28.5 million, according to studio estimates Sunday, providing a lukewarm start to a summer movie season that’s very much to be determined for Hollywood.
The Universal Pictures release opened on a weekend that Marvel has regularly dominated with $100 million-plus launches.
