After defeating the Oilers 5–1 to secure their first-ever Stanley Cup, the Panthers brought the chaos straight into the dressing room. The moment cameras rolled, the players were soaking each other in champagne and dancing along to
'Pink Pony Club,'
a song the Oilers had made their own rally cry throughout the playoffs.
It didn't feel random. It felt personal. Matthew Tkachuk was front and center, vibing like a pop star in a Vegas club. Add in some ripped shorts, big grins, and a whole lot of energy and suddenly, a Cup win turned into a full-blown

NHL Trade Rumors: Toronto Maple Leafs eye Sam Bennett as potential Mitch Marner replacement in free agency shake-up
Toronto Maple Leafs are planning roster changes and Sam Bennett of Florida Panthers is a target (Getty Images) As the Toronto Maple Leafs gear up for another offseason overhaul, the team's front office is already feeling the pressure to shake up the roster following another disappointing early playoff exit. With major names potentially on the move — including the much-speculated departure of Mitch Marner — Toronto could be setting its sights on a proven postseason performer to reshape its identity. Veteran Sam Bennett linked to Toronto as possible free agent target Among the top names being floated as a target is Florida Panthers forward Sam Bennett, who has quietly established himself as a clutch performer and postseason asset. With the Panthers making deep playoff runs in recent years — including three consecutive Stanley Cup Finals — Bennett's battle-tested experience would provide a new dimension to Toronto's forward core. — TorontoStar (@TorontoStar) NHL analyst Joe Yerdon of Bleacher Report has already connected Bennett to the Leafs in a recent column. 'History and money have a way of working out sometimes,' Yerdon wrote. 'But if the Leafs added Bennett while also losing Marner, the way Toronto plays and responds to teams will change drastically. Bennett addresses a desperate need in the Leafs lineup and they may have a lot of money at their disposal to make an offer. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Costco Shoppers Say This $7 Generic Cialis Is Actually Worth It FridayPlans Learn more Undo ' A gritty, playoff-proven addition Toronto desperately needs While Bennett may not carry the star power of Marner, what he brings to the table is exactly what Toronto has lacked in recent playoff failures — physicality, grit, and reliable two-way play. His 15 goals and 7 assists this postseason for the Panthers highlight his ability to deliver in critical moments — something that would be welcomed in Toronto's locker room. Bennett's current contract with Florida expires July 1, and although many expect the Panthers to work hard to retain him, free agency is unpredictable. If negotiations falter, Toronto could be ready to pounce with a strong offer.

Whether this direction can finally lift Toronto out of its postseason rut remains to be seen, but adding a battle-hardened veteran like Sam Bennett would be a bold first step.

Patriots roasted for ‘reckless' $63.5M deal with declining Stefon Diggs after series of controversies including Cardi B
Patriots' acquisition of Stefon Diggs on a $63.5 million deal faces scrutiny (Getty Images) The New England Patriots made headlines this offseason by making bold moves under new leadership, aiming to rebuild a roster that had fallen into irrelevance in recent years. One of their most aggressive signings was landing veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs on a three-year, $63.5 million deal. On paper, it looked like a statement acquisition — but not everyone is convinced it's a smart one. Stefon Diggs' $63.5M deal with Patriots under fire as critics call it one of NFL's riskiest moves According to Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox, this splashy signing could backfire. 'If Diggs cannot regain his Pro Bowl form, he could become a pricey bust for the Patriots,' Knox wrote, calling the move 'questionable' and placing it among the NFL's riskiest offseason decisions. At 31 years old and coming off a torn ACL, Diggs enters the 2025 season with more uncertainty than promise. While he has been a full participant in OTAs and minicamp, Knox pointed out that his performance had already been slipping before the injury. 'Diggs' production tapered a bit at the end of the 2023 season, and he looked a lot more like a No. 2 receiver with the Houston Texans in 2024 before the ACL tear,' he noted. New England's willingness to invest heavily in a player with that trajectory — especially one coming off a major injury — has drawn skepticism. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Though Diggs brings name recognition and veteran experience, critics are questioning whether he still has the explosiveness and consistency that once made him a top target in the league. Despite the doubts, there is a silver lining for the Patriots — and it comes in the form of rookie quarterback Drake Maye. Knox acknowledged that even if Diggs isn't the star he once was, his presence could help accelerate Maye's development. 'New England isn't expected to be playoff-relevant in 2025 — which may be why it needed to spend so lavishly to attract an aging, injured receiver,' Knox reasoned.

Tom Brady's ex-wife Gisele Bündchen slammed for calling pregnant women ‘garbage disposals'
Gisele Bündchen faced criticism for her remarks on pregnancy weight gain (Image via her IG) In the world of supermodels, Gisele Bündchen has long been seen as an untouchable icon — a woman who walked countless runways and seemingly floated through life with elegance and grace. But back in the early days of her motherhood journey, Bündchen made headlines not for her stunning fashion but for a jaw-dropping remark about pregnancy weight gain that didn't sit well with many women. Gisele Bündchen's 'garbage disposal' pregnancy comment sparked major backlash During a 2010 interview with Vogue, Gisele Bündchen reflected on her pregnancy with her son Benjamin. Unlike the average new mom — who, according to the Mayo Clinic, typically takes six months to a year to lose pregnancy weight — Gisele claimed she bounced back remarkably fast. Her secret? Yoga, discipline, and what she called "muscle memory." View this post on Instagram A post shared by ColorsTV (@colorstv) While her physical recovery seemed almost too perfect, it was her words that truly stirred up controversy. 'I think a lot of people get pregnant and decide they can turn into garbage disposals,' she told Vogue, adding that she was careful with her diet and gained 'only 30 pounds.' Gisele Bündchen's pain-free labor and holistic birth plan only fueled the criticism The backlash wasn't just about the "garbage disposal" comment — it was also about how effortlessly Gisele described her labor and recovery. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Instalá tu kit rápido y sin cables, en el día. Alarmas Verisure Ver oferta Undo In an interview with Brazil's Fantastico, she said her labor 'wasn't painful, not even a little bit' and noted that she had refused anesthesia because she wanted to be 'conscious and present for what was happening... I wanted to feel.' While her approach to childbirth and postpartum fitness may have been empowering for some, others saw it as tone-deaf and dismissive of the real, often grueling, experience many women face. Her statements felt especially alienating to mothers dealing with postpartum depression, cesarean recoveries, or medical complications that prevent them from losing weight quickly — or safely.

Her experience was undeniably unique, but the harshness of her words — especially the 'garbage disposal' analogy — served as a reminder that language matters, particularly when it comes to sensitive topics like motherhood, body image, and self-worth. Even icons like Gisele aren't immune from criticism when their privilege overshadows their perspective. Game On Season 1 kicks off with Sakshi Malik's inspiring story. Watch Episode 1 here
