The Toronto Maple Leafs have defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning in game six of their first round series.John Tavares was the hero, along with Ilya Samsonov, as the Toronto Maple Leafs did what they haven't been able to do for the last twenty years - advance to round two.The Leafs took an early lead, but Tampa tied it in the third, making things very intense.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have won three of their last four games, along with eight of their last eleven.Of course, the Boston Bruins are 8-2 and appear to not understand the meaning of the word "regression" (just kidding, 65 games is still within the realm of luck over skill, and it will happen eventually) meaning the Toronto Maple Leafs haven't gained any ground in the standings.

The Toronto Maple Leafs showed why it takes a full team effort to be victorious in their big win against the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night.It was an interesting first 30 minutes in the Toronto Maple Leafs game on Saturday.Noel Acciari kicked things off with a quick goal in the first period, but by the early part of the second period, the Oilers were up 3-1 after a fantastic goal by Connor McDavid.

After the Edmonton Oilers destroyed them last week, the Toronto Maple Leafs need redemption on Connor McDavid's homecoming.It's a real shame that the Toronto Maple Leafs never won the NHL Draft Lottery during Connor McDavid's year, but the team didn't pretty well by drafting Mitch Marner.Those two are clearly the best players from the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, but it's crazy to see just how ahead McDavid still is, points wise.

The best hockey player on the planet is currently Connor McDavid.In three year's time speculation will swirl about the potential of him joining the Toronto Maple Leafs.Three years is a long time, so let's just get right to it.In July of 2017, Peter Chiarelli and McDavid came to terms on an eight-year $100 million contract that locks him into playing with the Edmonton Oilers until the conclusion of the 2025-26 season.

Here's how the first-round selections in the 2023 NFL Draft measured up against FanSided's 2023 NFL Draft Big Board featuring the Top 50 players.The first round of the 2023 NFL Draft didn't go exactly as planned, but then again, it never does.Some picks were predictable for valid reasons, such as the Carolina Panthers choosing Bryce Young to revitalize their franchise.

Will Levis and Michael Mayer fell from the first round in the 2023 NFL Draft, so where will they go?Full Day 2 mock draft for the second and third rounds.The first round of the 2023 NFL Draft is in the books and, as predicted, it was full of calamity, chaos, wild moves, and plenty of surprises.The Detroit Lions provided several of them, trading down but then still reaching with both selections to take Jahmyr Gibbs and Jack Campbell.

The first-round of the 2023 NFL Draft is officially in the rearview mirror and it was a good one for Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots.As for the rest of the 30 picks, it was as unpredictable as many seemed to predict.As always, some teams faired better than others.So, let's break down winners and losers from night one.

It's Day 2 of the 2022 NFL draft and we've got two rounds to get through tonight.The Washington Commanders entered this draft with 8 picks, and will have 7 picks over the next two days.They picked Mississippi State CB Emmanuel Forbes with the 16th overall pick.Washington still has big needs on their offensive line, and that could be the direction they go tonight.

The Detroit Lions puzzled many fans and experts after selecting running back Jahmyr Gibbs and linebacker Jack Campbell in the first round of the NFL Draft.There were four teams that had multiple first-round picks in the 2023 NFL Draft, and the Detroit Lions were one of them.The team held the No. 6 and 18 overall picks, giving them the chance to select some of the top prospects in the class who could help them get to the playoffs as soon as 2023.

It's a great time of year.The weather is getting warmer, the birds are returning from their southern holiday and we're in the stretch drive of the 2022-23 NHL regular season.The countdown to the playoffs is on and the Edmonton Oilers are right in the thick of the Pacific Division and Western Conference races.

There's been plenty of talk surrounding Jack Campbell and his lack of success early on with the Edmonton Oilers.There'd also been talk for weeks leading into the NHL Trade Deadline that the Edmonton Oilers were kicking tires on the availability of San Jose Sharks' defenseman Erik Karlsson.The Oilers and Sharks played each other in an overtime thriller on Monday night, with Campbell getting the win (a shaky one).

Despite their two upcoming games against the San Jose Sharks and Arizona Coyotes, Edmonton Oilers head coach Jay Woodcroft told media that there are no easy games in the NHL, and boy was he right.While his team was able to pull out a win on Monday night against the Sharks, it was far from easy, as they escaped with a 5-4 overtime victory.

EDMONTON -- Darnell Nurse scored with 15 seconds remaining in overtime, and the Edmonton Oilers rallied for a 5-4 win against the San Jose Sharks at Rogers Place on Monday.Nurse scored on a breakaway after Mattias Ekholm tied it 4-4 at 16:13 of the third period with his second goal."The guys are always joking in here that I get quite a few [breakaways] and never score," Nurse said.

EDMONTON, Alberta - Darnell Nurse scored at 4:45 of overtime to give the Edmonton Oilers a 5-4 win over the struggling San Jose Sharks on Monday night for their fourth straight win.Mattias Ekholm had two goals, Kailer Yamamoto had a goal and an assist, and Nick Bjugstad also scored to help the Oilers win for the sixth time in seven games.

The Maple Leafs had three full days of no games to rest up and prepare to face the Edmonton Oilers.Coming off a 4-3 win over the Devils, the Oilers presented another challenging team to the blue & white.The Oilers played the best team in the NHL on Thursday night, giving the Bruins a rare home loss, winning 3-2.

SB Nation Opponent: Fear The Fin THE OILERS won a game they absolutely had to by defeating the Ducks 6-2 on Wednesday night.Klim Kostin had a pair, while Connor McDavid, Dylan Holloway, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Leon Draisaitl each had a goal.

The Dallas Cowboys are now into 2023 NFL draft mode as they look for ways to rebuild and reload position groups.All the conversation is on the first round but there is always plenty of hay to be made beyond that.The Cowboys have been fruitful in other rounds and need to do so once again this year if they want to make a third-straight trip to the playoffs.

The Los Angeles Kings are holding onto a playoff spot for dear life as teams like the Edmonton Oilers, Calgary Flames, and Colorado Avalanche have caught them amidst below-average play as of late.The offence has been carrying the team all season long, but the Kings have areas they would like to improve upon by the deadline to make the playoffs and win.

Here we are - 24 games into the season, just past the quarter mark of what has been an exceptionally up-and-down season.The quarter mark, in my mind, is where statistics and performances start becoming meaningful.It's where legitimate trends can be identified, which makes it an interesting point for analysis.

More than a dozen goaltenders have challenged Jonathan Quick's hold on the Kings' net.Not one has succeeded.Erik Ersberg couldn't beat him out for the No. 1 job.Nor could Jason LaBarbera, Jonathan Bernier, Ben Scrivens, Peter Budaj, Ben Bishop, Jeff Zatkoff, Martin Jones, Jhonas Enroth, Jack Campbell, Darcy Kuemper or, most recently, Cal Petersen.

Honestly, I'm not sure how much point there is in trying to break down the Leafs and Habs game from a numbers perspective.When the Leafs felt like trying they easily outplayed Montreal.When they felt they had done enough, it was some of the worst hockey imaginable.I don't know if there is anything that will be said below that can't be covered with a tortoise and hare analogy, but I told my boss we'd have some form of analytics post after every game, so we're doing this.

The Los Angeles Kings sent shockwaves throughout the NHL last week when they decided to put goaltender Cal Petersen on waivers.He eventually cleared and was assigned to the Ontario Reign of the American Hockey League (AHL).Still, the bold move by general manager (GM) Rob Blake was quite the turn of events in Los Angeles.
