Cracks in the Edmonton Oilers? Fans question key players' performance after suspicious Game 2 collapse
The Edmonton Oilers faced a tough 5-4 double-overtime loss to the Florida Panthers in Game 2 (Imagn Images) The Edmonton Oilers suffered a gut-wrenching 5-4 double-overtime defeat at the hands of the Florida Panthers in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final on Friday night. While the back-and-forth showdown showcased plenty of grit and offensive firepower, several Oilers underperformed at critical moments—contributing to the Panthers tying the series 1-1 as it shifts to Florida for Game 3. Kasperi Kapanen 's costly turnover puts Oilers on the back foot early Kasperi Kapanen had been showing flashes of promise in the postseason, but Game 2 proved to be a setback. The winger logged just under 15 minutes of ice time, sharing shifts on the second line with Leon Draisaitl. But it was a first-period turnover that turned heads for the wrong reasons. As the Oilers attempted to clear the puck from their zone, Kapanen misplayed a pass that immediately turned into a Florida scoring opportunity. The mishap allowed Seth Jones to sneak in and net the equalizer. Kapanen's minutes diminished from there, as head coach Kris Knoblauch sought to adjust the lines in pursuit of a late comeback. Vasily Podkolzin 's quiet presence raises concerns about fourth-line depth Another skater whose impact went largely unnoticed was Vasily Podkolzin. With just 12:45 of ice time across 17 shifts, his involvement in the high-stakes battle was minimal. Despite managing two shots and one hit, Podkolzin—alongside fourth-liners Viktor Arvidsson and Mattias Janmark—was barely deployed in the third period and overtime, indicating a lack of trust in Edmonton's bottom six. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Stuart Skinner lets two key goals slip away in double OT showdown Goaltender Stuart Skinner had a strong statistical showing with 37 saves on 42 shots.

Marchand scored the game-winner in double overtime by slipping the puck through Skinner's five-hole—nearly identical to his earlier goal.

Justin Bieber's pics spark ‘drug addiction' debate, fans call him ‘train wreck,' ask, ‘Why is no one helping him?'
Justin Bieber's latest Instagram post featuring a series of bathroom selfies has sparked a serious debate online around 'drug addictions' as concerned fans call him a 'train wreck,' and wonder why no one is helping him. Justin has made two Instagram posts in the last 5 hours. The first one featured multiple pictures of himself, while the other had just two pictures – one with a blurred Hailey Bieber in the background, and the other a very close-up of Justin's face. 'U could point at my flaws, or u could recognise ur own lil b***h,' he wrote in a caption. Worried fans said they cannot recognise him anymore, 'Who is this person?' adding that 'it's like watching a train wreck and not being able to stop it.' 'Why is no one helping this man,' asked a fan. However, several netizens claimed that the posts expose the 'face of drug addiction,' and said that the 'Baby' hitmaker is 'slowly turning into the Britney Spears of our generation.' 'He's seriously struggling. It's looking like Liam Payne and Britney [Spears] someone needs to help him before it's too late,' added another social media user. 'The drugs are one why does everything look so dirty?' asked a user. Another suggested a rehab for the singer: 'Justin, baby, I think it's time for rehab.' This is not the first time the 'Stay' singer has been suspected of using drugs. He reportedly exhibited 'strange' behaviour at his wife Hailey Bieber's Rhode skin event, sparking speculations of drug use. However, in February, Justin's representative had slammed the 'harmful' rumours of drug use. Not much later, the Grammy winner was seen unapologetically flaunting marijuana. In a more recent Instagram post, Justin also publicly showed off his drug use as he shared a photo of himself smiling in an armchair while a massive bong sat in his lap. In a surprising confession, he admitted to copying Hailey Bieber's patented Rhode phone case — originally designed to hold her lip gloss — and repurposing it to carry marijuana instead. Even the people close to Justin Bieber have expressed their worry for his mental health amid rumours of financial turmoil. They told the Hollywood Reporter that they feared he was falling apart mentally. 'Seeing him disintegrate like this … it's watching the embodiment of someone not living their purpose,' a former team member told the outlet. 'He's lost,' he said, adding that 'there's no one protecting him because there's no one there willing to say no to him. You say no, you get blown out.'
