Rupp: “You know, Patrik Laine, on the other hand, is one that, I’ve seen some of the names that have been linked to him. I mean, I don’t know, I mean, I think for myself, like a bad power play team. Obviously, Patrik Laine is a power play specialist. Like the New York Islanders, they stunk on the power play. They have for a few…

Taxi fares could go up by 8% in order to help drivers combat a rise in fuel prices and the cost of living.The North Tyneside Hackney Carriage Association (NTHCA) has urged North Tyneside Council to approve an increase in fares, resulting in an average cost per mile of £5.52 for a three-mile journey.The proposed rises apply to hackney carriages, which can be hailed on the street or at a taxi rank and not vehicles that can be pre-booked.However Labour councillor John O’Shea said he wanted to look at a more “balanced arrangement, not the 8% that has been suggested” as…
