Michael Bradley, David Edgar join Canada as guest coaches during June FIFA window

Article content Bradley will only be with Canada for the Halifax camp while Edgar, an assistant coach with the Canadian Premier League's Forge FC, will also be in Toronto. The 37-year-old Bradley, who won 151 caps for the U.S. from 2006 to 2019, retired after the 2023 MLS season, his 10th with Toronto. After retiring, he joined father Bob Bradley's coaching staff at Norway's Stabaek. The 38-year-old Edgar won 42 caps for Canada from 2011 to 2018. The defender retired at the end of the 2020 CPL season with Forge after a career that included stops in Canada with the Ottawa Fury and Vancouver Whitecaps, as well as stints in England (Newcastle, Burnley, Huddersfield Town, Sheffield United, Hartlepool), the U.S. (Nashville SC) and Wales (Swansea City). Marsch, who played for Bob Bradley at D.C. United and the Chicago Fire, has made a habit of bringing in guest coaches to Canada camps. Others previously invited included CPL coaches Mauro Eustaquio (York United) and Patrice Gheisar (Halifax Wanderers) and former Canadian internationals Dwayne De Rosario, Paul Stalteri and Martin Nash.

Don't expect Florida Panthers to jump the Edmonton Oilers this time

There haven't been many times in Stanley Cup Finals history that a teams wins three of the last four games and doesn't lift the trophy. Unfortunately for the Edmonton Oilers , last year's final was over before it started. Florida got the jump on them and by the time the Oilers recovered they were down 3-0. Credit them for pushing back to turn a sweep into a dramatic seventh game, but that slow start was a killer and it can't happen again. Now that the Oilers know what it's like to be in a Stanley Cup Final — perhaps the last piece of experience this ever-evolving team ever need — there is good reason to believe things will be different this time.

'There is obviously a sense of calm having gone through this scenario last year,' said defenceman Darnell Nurse. 'That said, (Florida) is here for a third time, so they're going to have that sense as well. 'I know for our group it's definitely a different feeling than going into last year. Going through it the first time, there were a lot of moments where you were really exited. For us this year, the level of excitement isn't as heightened as before. We know the task and the job that needs to be done.' They might not win it all, but getting caught flat-footed out of the gate doesn't seem likely for a team that's thought about little else for the last 11 months than Game 1. 'Our makeup of the team is a bit different than last year,' said defenceman Mattias Ekholm, who'll be in his third career final when the Oilers host Florida Wednesday night at Rogers Place. 'Not a lot of guys had been that far in the playoffs before. So it's good to have that and to be calm with that, guys being calm in situations that are pretty stressful and being able to deliver under pressure. When you've been there and seen it there are no real surprises along the way.' These aren't a bunch of wide-eyed first-timers anymore. This is a group that's weathered every storm there is to weather in this game, faced every possible stressor. It's a team that's 12-2 in its last 12 games against Western Conference heavyweights Los Angeles, Vegas and Dallas. 'We have a different mood,' said head coach Kris Knoblauch. 'Last year was new to us, we didn't know what the Stanley Cup Final was going to be like. 'And, also, the way we went into it. Game 6 against Dallas last year we didn't play our best game (outshot 34-10). We did win it but it wasn't our strongest game. It's a little bit different (this time). 'But the biggest change is we've been here before — we've done the press conferences, we've answered the questions about what it's like to be in the Stanley Cup Final. 'We know what to expect. We've seen this team before. There are a lot of familiar things about this.' Teams gain a wealth of experience in every playoff round they win, or lose. But there is something different about the final. Things get amped to an entirely different level when you're four wins away from lifelong dream and every hockey fan in the world, and players from 30 other teams, are watching. They always think they're ready, but history shows that most teams aren't. The list of teams that needed a couple of chances to break though is a lot longer than the list of teams who lift the trophy on their first try. 'It's the ultimate, it's the biggest stage in hockey, it's the highest stakes of games you can play,' said Ekholm. 'It's the series that everybody wants to be in. Being in that can be stressful, but both teams have a lot of experience in that so it's going to be a different atmosphere. Everybody knows what's going on. This is what everybody wants.' Nurse says it wasn't just the big stage that caught Edmonton off guard, it was how hard the Panthers came out of the gate. They seemed one-step faster. They were harder. They had the taste of a previous year's Cup final defeat in their mouths and it showed. 'They came out and played better in those first three games, there were a couple of close ones where they made one more play than we did,' he said. 'For us, knowing the importance of the start of the series and the importance of every moment, we have to take that to another level this year.' Coming back from adversity is what the Oilers do best. They came back from 2-0 down to win four-straight against the Kings. They didn't lose another game to Vegas after giving up the winning goal with .4 seconds left in Game 3. And they ran the table after giving up five third-period goals in Game 1 against the Stars. Now, they have to comeback after what Florida did to them last year. 'That's the biggest strength of this team,' said Ekholm. 'Every time we have our backs against the wall we respond and we play our best hockey.'

Who may come out in order to make room for the speedy winger is not clear. Article content -Florida's Aleksander Barkov won the Franke Selke Award this morning, as the league's best defensive forward. There is little doubt about Barkov's ability in this area. He is a most deserving winner. Good to see that Leon Draisaitl starting to get more recognition for the quality of his two-way play. He finished Number six in the balloting. -Head Coach Kris Knoblauch, on the approach to The Finals this year: 'We have a different mood. Last year, we did not know what to expect. The biggest change is we have been here before. We know what to expect. We've seen this team before. We're accustomed to it'. -Evander Kane, on Zach Hyman's injury: 'Zach's a huge part of our team. He's a great asset to any team. But we did a great job in Game Five against Dallas. We have a lot more depth throughout the entirety of our lineup. Unfortunately, we're going to have to use that depth and get the job done without him'. Article content Latest National Stories
