It’s not an easy answer.

Joel Kiviranta might be the best person to answer what is admittedly a tough question, but it stumped him as well.Who is the best Finnish player in the NHL right now? Finland is a proud hockey nation, with a rich tradition of punching far above its weight class when considering barometers like population and country size.Even for Suomi, the current crop of Finnish stars in the NHL is an incredible group. Kiviranta has played with a few of the best Finns during his NHL stops with the Dallas Stars and now the Colorado Avalanche.There are others in the conversation, but let’s start with Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen and Avs forward Mikko Rantanen.“Playing with (Heiskanen), I was pretty sure that he’s the best Finnish player in the league,” Kiviranta said. “With the puck and without the puck, and how he’s moving and how he sees the game. But, now I have played with Mikko too … and I’m not sure about that. It’s a hard to just pick one.”Rantanen state...Letters: Don’t buy into “greedflation” — companies raising prices because they can

Don’t buy into “greedflation”Re: “Economy gets stronger, but voters feel bad about it,” Dec. 12 news storyIt is reported that corporate America is seeking to maintain its profit margins by raising prices as often as they can despite the fact that profits are well above their traditional levels. This is called “greedflation” and you are a victim of it.The only way that consumers can stop being exploited is to not buy items that have irrationally increased in price. One of my lines in the sand is that I refuse to pay the standard shelf price of $5.49 for a 10 oz. bag of Tostitos Scoops. I will either wait until that product comes on sale, purchase another brand or go without.The objective of business is to get as much money out of the consumer as possible. This is the foundation of capitalism. Don’t be a sucker. So long as American consumers continue to pay ridiculous prices for items, companies will continue to raise prices.Remember, it...Colorado snow totals for December 13-14, 2023
