Oilers look for redemption against Panthers in Game 4 of Stanley Cup final
Social Sharing The Edmonton Oilers are looking for a split on the road Thursday after getting trounced by the Florida Panthers in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup final. The Panthers dominated their first home game of the finals on Monday, winning 6-1 to take the series lead after two tight overtime games in Edmonton. Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch is shuffling the team's lineup as he looks to bounce back, bringing Troy Stecher in to replace John Klingberg on defence and Jeff Skinner to step in for Viktor Arvidsson up front. Oilers look to turn page after devastating Game 3 loss Panthers defeat Oilers 6-1, take lead in Stanley Cup final Stuart Skinner will get the start in goal, despite speculation that backup Calvin Pickard might draw in after Skinner allowed five goals on 23 shots Monday. Skinner has traditionally been stellar in Game 4s, with a 6-0 record including two shutouts and a .955 save percentage. Knoblauch also appears to be changing up his forward line combinations, bumping Connor Brown up to the top line to play with Connor McDavid and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, who missed Tuesday's practice due to an undisclosed injury but is still expected to suit up. Tempers boiled over in Game 3 Things went Florida's way from the outset in the penalty-ridden Game 3, with the team scoring early and holding the lead throughout. Tempers boiled over in the third period Monday, with scuffles carrying on outside of the play and past the final buzzer. Florida winger A.J. Greer stole Oilers defenceman Jake Walman's glove and threw it into the Panthers' bench in the second period, and Walman squirted water on the opposing bench in retaliation. The NHL fined Walman $5,000 for the spray, and another $5,000 for punching Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk in the third period. A Panthers fan was also seen dumping a drink on Oilers forward Kasperi Kapanen on his way to the dressing room in the third, in a video that generated much chatter online.

Whitecaps defender Adekugbe's injury suffered on Canada duty diagnosed as torn Achilles
Social Sharing Vancouver Whitecaps defender Sam Adekugbe tore his Achilles tendon with Canada at the Canadian Shield Tournament and has been replaced by Sporting Kansas City's Zorhan Bassong on Jesse Marsch's CONCACAF Gold Cup roster. Adekugbe had to be helped off the field after going down with an apparent non-contact injury in the 81st minute of the penalty shootout loss to Ivory Coast on Tuesday at Toronto's BMO Field. In announcing the injury news Thursday, Canada Soccer said Adekugbe has returned to the Whitecaps "who will determine next steps along with the player." Canada, ranked 30th in the world, opens Gold Cup play Tuesday against No. 75 Honduras in Vancouver before heading to Houston to face No. 90 Curacao and No. 81 El Salvador. It's the latest injury setback for the 30-year-old Adekugbe, who has won 43 caps for Canada and was part of the 2022 World Cup squad. He left the Whitecaps' March 2 game against the Los Angeles Galaxy with a leg injury, missing the next 12 games until returning April 27 against Minnesota.

Adekugbe, who returned to the Whitecaps in 2023, had previously been sidelined by sidelined by calf and knee problems. "Sam has demonstrated tremendous dedication and resilience in his journey back to full fitness, which makes this setback even more heartbreaking," Whitecaps sporting director Axel Schuster said in a statement Thursday. "He'll need time to process this moment, and throughout his recovery, he'll have the unwavering support of everyone at the club. "Sam is part of our family, and we're all behind him as he begins his road to recovery." It's 1 year until the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Is Vancouver ready? Adekugbe has scored three goals in 12 appearances for Vancouver across all competitions this year. Adekugbe came back to Canada after escaping earthquake-ravaged Antakya in Turkey, where he had been playing for Hatayspor. He joined the Turkish Super Lig team in June 2021 from Norway's Valerenga Fotball. Born in London, England, he was three when his family moved to Manchester and 10 when it came to Calgary. At 16, he moved to Vancouver to join the Whitecaps residency program. He signed a homegrown contract with the MLS team in 2013 but made just 16 appearances for the team over the next four seasons, spending much of the time out on loan. Adekugbe had loans stints with Brighton in the English Championship and Sweden's IFK Goteborg before joining Valerenga in January 2018.

(Submitted: Gordon Bell High School) The competition is similar to cooking shows like 'Chopped,' where the teams receive a basket of mystery items and are tasked with creating and cooking a meal in a one-hour time limit, incorporating those ingredients into the dishes. 'You have no room for mistakes, and you always have to be in the kitchen, no distractions or anything,' Zinchenco said. 'You have to be locked in.'

Their first idea for the dish was shot down by judges. 'We wrote down steak tartare because we had been practising that, and as they saw us writing it down, they said, 'Sorry, no steak tartare allowed,'' Van Solkema said, noting the dish would be considered too easy for teams to make. The group pivoted and created a deconstructed summer salad with medium-rare steak, potato chips, and a Brussels sprout puree, along with a tomato confit. gordon bell cooking competition The deconstructed summer salad created by The Kitchen Brigade Team at Gordon Bell High School in the final round of the La Tablée des Chefs Canadian Culinary Competition in Montreal on June 9, 2025.

'They also said they liked how many techniques we showed with our dish,' said Thiessen-Unger. The team will return to Montreal on June 21 to represent Canada in an international match against a school from Paris, France, an experience they're both nervous and excited for.
