BOX SCORE: Red Wings 3, Rangers 2, OT The high-flying Andreas Athanasiou, returning from four games lost to injury, tied the game with 2:02 left in regulation.

Try, for a moment, to envision such a sheet. Does the paper of your reckoning For New York voters in four of the city’s five boroughs on Tuesday, this Frankensteinian concept of ultralong paper was made manifest, as they were handed midterm election ballots measuring 34 inches in length, and far fewer problems reported there.) For reference, thirty-four inches is the number, from withers to paw, of what the American Kennel Club would classify as a show-worthy adult male Irish wolfhound, as well as the height of a three-story Barbie Dream House.

New York MTA’s Lhota resigns as chairman after a year on the job
Henry Goldman, Bloomberg Published 9:27 am PST, Friday, November 9, 2018 Joseph Lhota resigned as chairman of New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the multi-billion dollar agency that controls city and state commuter transit. Lhota, 64, who continued to serve as senior vice president and chief of staff at NYU Langone Medical Center, returned to the agency a year ago after running it in 2012, when he oversaw the recovery after Hurricane Sandy flooded the system's subway and vehicle tunnels. He also remained on the board of directors of the Madison Square Garden Co., whose holdings include Radio City Music Hall, the New York Knicks and the New York Rangers. In his most recent stint, he ran a crisis-ridden subway system characterized by frequent breakdowns, delays and track fires, hobbled by the hurricane's damage and technological obsolescence after decades of under-investment in maintenance. The resignation comes days after Democratic New York Gov. Andrew … [Read more...] about New York MTA’s Lhota resigns as chairman after a year on the job
