MATHESON: For this Cup final, Oilers' Kane is able
Article content 'This group worked really, really hard to get back to this point. I know more than anybody, not knowing if you'll get another shot to win. I've been in the conference final a bunch of times and the one final last year and not being able to help the team the way I knew I could, it was very difficult,' said Kane, who has 10 points in 16 games this spring. Article content 'Florida plays a certain brand of hockey. The way we've been looked at from outside our room is that we're just this offensive team and we've started to change that narrative. Obviously, we can score goals, but we can lock things down. And we can play a physical, in-your-face brand, whatever kind of game you want,' said Kane, who has another big body, Trent Frederic, this year, along with Darnell Nurse. Article content Is intimidation still a thing this late in the playoffs, with two teams left? Article content 'Yeah, it's always a factor. It's important to have that aspect to your group because you never know when it can play in your favour,' he said. Article content Indeed, playing the game with a snarl can be a winning recipe. Article content 'They know us, we know them. It went down to the bitter end last year. Both teams understand this will be the toughest challenge they've faced. Any sort of edge you can create could possibly be the difference,' he said. Article content 'As a team we're better equipped, especially up front, a lot more physical players,' said Knoblauch. 'We didn't have Evander last year but for the first two games, and not healthy. Do I think he'll make a difference now? Absolutely. Physicality, scoring. We missed him last year. But we've also added Frederic. He plays a similar game. Not as much offence as Evander but pretty darned physical.' Article content Knoblauch agreed with the game-within-the-game theme for Kane. Not everybody gets their competitive juices flowing like Kane's manner of agitation, though. Article content 'Some players talk between the whistles. Other players think that distracts them from their game. Others thrive on it. Like Corey Perry, like Evander Kane. That gets them involved in the game and they can distract somebody else,' he said. Article content 'Yeah, Evander's a good player and hopefully, he can provide something more that we didn't have last year (against the Panthers),' said Knoblauch. Article content We know Kane will arrive at Game 1 in ill humour, but in which luxury car? He's been in a Lamborghini and a Rolls-Royce this spring. Article content 'You'll have to tune in to find out,' laughed Kane, who told Jeremy Roenick and former NHL referee Tim Peel on a Stars and Stripes podcast that he would be in a Lamborghini here, but in Florida for Game 3? Article content 'Guys were talking like, 'Do I chopper in in Florida?' ' he said. Article content THIS 'N' THAT Article content Knoblauch said Oilers captain Connor McDavid is just fine after he only skated for 10 minutes Sunday before leaving the ice, so relax in Oilers Nation. 'He'll be skating tomorrow (Tuesday).' … Knoblauch said winger Connor Brown will be playing Game 1 which means Jeff Skinner, who scored in Game 5 in Dallas, will be out … Florida captain Aleksander Barkov has just won his third Selke award as the NHL's best two-way forward. He also won in 2023-24 and is the fourth back-to-back winner over the last 25 years, following on the heels of Patrice Bergeron, Pavel Datsyuk and Rod Brind'Amour. Barkov beat out teammate Sam Reinhart, with Tampa's Anthony Cirelli third and Jersey captain Nico Hischier fourth. Oilers centre Leon Draisaitl was sixth behind Vegas' Jack Eichel. Article content

Cameron Young rallies for US Open spot on a long day of qualifying for Oakmont
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — On a long day when it felt everything was going wrong, Cameron Young birdied three of his last four holes Monday to get into a 5-for-1 playoff and then made a 12-foot birdie to earn his spot in the U.S. Open in two weeks at Oakmont. The drama went coast-to-coast, and even north of the border into Canada, with 47 places available at 10 qualifying sites to fill the field for the major regarded the toughest test in golf. Monday was tough enough, especially for Max Homa. He had a chance to get one of the six spots available from the Ohio qualifier at Kinsale, all while carrying his own bag for 36 holes — this after a rugged week at the Memorial — because he has split from his caddie. But he three-putted for par on his final hole, getting into the playoff. Make that 38 holes lugging his bag. Young advanced with his clutch play, while Rickie Fowler was eliminated with a bogey. Homa played the 11th hole to try to get an alternate spot. He missed a par putt on that hole and then faced a long walk to the parking lot. Young, already enduring a tough year that forced him to do a 36-hole qualifier, hit 9-iron to 8 feet for birdie on the 15th, birdied the par-5 16th and then hit wedge to 18 inches on the final hole to earn a spot in the 5-for-1 playoff. 'I feel like I showed myself something today,' he said. 'For so long today I saw nothing go in.' The playoff began on the 10th hole, and Young hit driver into the left rough and judged his wedge perfectly to 12 feet below the hole. 'I started my day here 12 hours ago and made a 3, so I tried to do it again,' he said. Erik van Rooyen opened with a 64 at Kinsale and had no trouble getting to Oakmont for the U.S. Open on June 12-15. He wound up six shots ahead of the field. Other qualifiers were Bud Cauley, Lanto Griffin, Justin Lower and Harrison Ott, at No. 2,651 in the world ranking. Cauley is No. 56 in the world, and is likely to stay in the top 60 after the Canadian Open and get in through that category. If that happens, Chase Johnson would get to his first U.S. Open. He won the playoff for the two alternate spots with Eric Cole. In the other Ohio qualifier in Springfield, Zac Blair won a 4-for-1 playoff for the last spot by outlasting John Peterson, a former PGA Tour player who retired and then asked to be reinstated as an amateur. The four spots from the Florida qualifier did not finish because of a rain delay. Three of the five spots from the Atlanta qualifier went to amateurs, with 17-year-old Mason Howell leading the way. The high school junior played bogey-free for an 18-under 126. Also qualifying was Jackson Koivun of Auburn, who already has locked up a PGA Tour card, and Florida State sophomore Tyler Weaver. Qualifiers in Toronto and North Carolina each offered seven spots — the PGA Tour is in Canada this week and the Korn Ferry Tour is in its Carolinas swing. Winnipeg Jets Game Days On Winnipeg Jets game days, hockey writers Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe send news, notes and quotes from the morning skate, as well as injury updates and lineup decisions. Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. Thorbjorn Olesen of Denmark and Emiliano Grillo of Argentina were among the seven qualifiers in Canada, where Kevin Velo led the field. In North Carolina, Zach Bauchou led the seven players who got into Oakmont. Bauchou was in the Ohio qualifier two years ago when he had his college roommate — Viktor Hovland — caddie for him a day after Hovland won the Memorial. Most of the LIV Golf players who tried to qualify — or thought about it, anyway — were competing for four spots in Maryland. Marc Leishman of Australia, who has not qualified for a major the last two years since joining LIV, beat out fellow LIV player Sebastian Munoz to earn one of the four spots. Fifteen players from LIV originally were in the Maryland field. Five did not turn in cards when it was clear they wouldn't make it — not unusual for tour players — while five withdrew before it began, including Bubba Watson and Lee Westwood. ___ AP golf:
