Myrtle Beach offers many off-season delights, including temperate ...
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. -- At 7:45, the rising sun had barely cleared the gray Atlantic horizon, but the thermometer on our condo balcony registered a balmy 68 degrees. Looking down from six stories above the wide white beach that extended miles in either direction, I spotted a school of maybe 20 wet-suited surfers circling slowly beyond the break line, waiting for the next long wave to come rolling in. Feeling a surge, seven started stroking to the beach. Finding sufficient momentum, three popped to their feet and mounted the breaking swell. One caught the curl perfectly and got a 15-second thrill ride all the way to the beach for her trouble. Not too shabby for mid-December. North America's Atlantic coastline from the North Carolina-South Carolina border south to Winyah Bay is collectively known as the Grand Strand, a broad, largely unbroken crescent of white sand stretching some 60 miles.
Avery and Malik rumble at practice
Sure enough, there the gangly defenseman and mouthy forward were 40 minutes into today's MSG Training Center practice, gloves shed and fists balled. Nobody got hurt - fact is, using his far superior reach, Malik won on points what turned into a Greco-Roman wrestling match. But that a fight broke out at all in a non-training camp Rangers practice was stunning. It was believed to be the first since Jeff Beukeboom and Eddie Olczyk duked it out at Rye Playland during the '94 season. An omen? Here's how things shook out: Avery was driving down the right wing with the puck in a one-on-one drill when he lost his stick trying to cut in on Malik. The big defenseman rode the stickless and hunched-over winger to the backboards, where he administered an extra hit.
