After a six-year drought from goalie fights, the National Hockey League (NHL) has seen two within the past month. The last fight was on February 1, 2020, when Cam Talbot of the Calgary Flames and Mike Smith of the Edmonton Oilers faced off in the “Battle of Alberta” game.  The San Jose Sharks and the Florida Panthers faced off in Sunrise, Florida, on January 19, 2026. After an intense game with a lot of chirps and physicality, Sergei Bobrovsky, the Panthers’ goalie, skated down the ice to meet Sharks’ goalie, Alex Nedeljkovic, in his zone. The two dropped their gloves six minutes into the third period, marking the first goalie fight since the aforementioned “Battle of Alberta” fight. Instead of waiting two years for another goalie fight this time, hockey fans only had to wait two weeks. The Stadium Series game this year took place exactly six years after the fight between Talbot and Smith on February 1, 2026.

Barrett Township Supervisors Meeting - January 28, 2026 - 8:00 AM

Barrett Township Supervisors Workshop - January 21, 2026 - 6:30 PM

The Pocono Mountains have long been renowned for their natural beauty; however, in recent years, they have also gained recognition as one of Pennsylvania’s most welcoming places to retire. Located in northeastern Pennsylvania, the Poconos is a 2,500-square-mile region that offers beautiful mountain towns surrounded by over 260 miles of hiking trails, 170 miles of rivers, and 150 lakes. Retirees are provided with numerous ways to stay active, from fishing at Beltzville State Park to catching a live show under the stars at Harmony in the Woods. While the views are truly amazing, the communities throughout the region are what make the Poconos special. These eight towns in the Poconos provide a sense of community with food pantries, senior and community centers supporting residents.

Written by John Galt, NEPA Media Group The former Daniels Top of the Poconos resort at 180 Glenmere Road has operated under a 2017 Payment In Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) agreement that caps its total annual payment to Barrett Township, Monroe County, the Pocono Mo — regardless of assessed value increases or inflation. The agreement states it: shall remain in full force and effect as long as the Properties are being used as at present for tax exempt purposes as permitted under the Consolidated County Assessment Law, Institutions of Purely Public Charity Act and/or other applicable law. That language is central to understanding whether the agreement remains valid today.
