How Panthers' Brad Marchand had Oilers star ‘feeling s****y'
The post How Panthers' Brad Marchand had Oilers star 'feeling s****y' appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Florida Panthers beat the Edmonton Oilers 5-2 in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final Saturday night. Brad Marchand scored twice, both around Edmonton defenseman Jake Walman, to ice the game for Florida. The longtime Boston Bruins captain came over at the trade deadline and is in contention for the Conn Smythe Trophy. Walman spoke with Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic about his performance on Saturday and how Marchand got the best of him. Advertisement That's a good player,' Walman said of Marchand. 'S***y feeling as a defenseman. I want to have that one back. I've just got to play everybody hard. It doesn't matter who they are.' The Oilers came back from 3-0 down in Game 4 to win in overtime, partly thanks to Jake Walman's third-period goal. But all of that momentum was zapped in the first period on Saturday, when the Panthers took a 2-0 lead. With Florida dominating the first period recently, Walman knows his team has to start games on time. 'It's frustrating when you come into the (dressing) room and you're down,' Walman said. 'We're struggling to get to our game right away. It takes us a little bit. I don't know what the reasoning is. We have it in us to play the way that we want.' Advertisement The Oilers were down 3-0 in the Stanley Cup Final last year before ripping off three straight wins to force Game 7. While they lost the decider, they are familiar with playing with their season on the line. And that was without Walman, who came over at the NHL trade deadline from the San Jose Sharks this year. But those Panthers did not have Marchand, who joined them on the same day from the Boston Bruins. Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Panthers and Oilers is on Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. Eastern.

Lewis Hamilton Fought For Equal Treatment Before His First F1 Win: 'I Remember Arguing'
Lewis Hamilton Fought For Equal Treatment Before His First F1 Win: 'I Remember Arguing' originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Lewis Hamilton has opened up about the behind-the-scenes battle that preceded his first-ever Formula 1 victory and how it came down to demanding equal treatment. Advertisement Speaking ahead of the 2025 Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal, the seven-time World Champion reflected on his breakthrough 2007 win at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. While fans remember the race for Hamilton's pole position and dominant drive, the Brit says there was a quiet struggle for fairness brewing inside the McLaren garage. 'That was actually the race where, back then with refuelling, the two cars were separated by a couple of laps of fuel,' Hamilton said. 'One car would get lighter fuel… and because Fernando [Alonso] was the World Champion, he'd always get the lighter fuel.' Hamilton revealed he was often sent out with heavier fuel loads during qualifying which added extra tenths to his lap time and tilted the competitive balance. The dynamic finally reached a boiling point after Monaco, where Hamilton voiced his frustration. Lewis Hamilton in the media pen after the 2025 Spanish GP.'I remember arguing after Monaco that I want equal opportunity and equal chance,' he said. 'And they gave us equal fuel and then I qualified for the pole and won my first race.' Advertisement That first victory, at just his sixth Grand Prix start, marked the beginning of a record-breaking F1 career. But according to Hamilton, it was also a defining moment of personal growth. 'It was one of those moments where you had to listen to your intuition and really fight for what you feel is right,' he reflected. 'And that was one of those high moments for me.' Hamilton's reflections add new perspective to one of the most iconic wins of his career. The 2007 Canadian Grand Prix not only proved he had the speed to match champions, it showed he had the voice and determination to stand up for himself inside one of the most powerful teams in the sport. Advertisement As he returns to Montreal nearly two decades later, the moment remains a symbol of both his talent and his tenacity.
