Cote: Road magic fails Panthers in 4-3 OT loss in Edmonton to open Stanley Cup rematch
This Stanley Cup Final feels bigger and broader than a championship series. It's more than just that the Florida Panthers could become the NHL's first back-to-back champ over the same opponent since 1977-78. It is the Repeat vs. Revenge Rematch and all that entails: History, no matter who wins. Game 1 Wednesday night in Edmonton felt big as a Game 7 (more like a Game 8?), but it was only the start. The Florida Panthers blew a 3-1 lead and fell 4-3 in overtime in Edmonton, giving up a power-play goal to the Oilers' Leon Draisaitl in the last minute of OT after an awfully timed delay of game penalty on Tomas Nosek. 'He's invaluable,'said McDavid of Draisaitl. 'Clutch.' Florida had been 29-0 in the playoffs under coach Paul Maurice when leading after two periods ... until this. Edmonton dominated 46-32 on shots on goal. It was 24-8 after the second period. Sam Bennett, who scored twice for Florida, suggested afterward is team turned too conservative, holding back with a 3-1 lead. Maurice agreed, to a point. 'At 3-2, not at 3-1. At 3-2 I thought we were a little safe with the puck,' he said. 'There were places we could have controlled the puck a little bit more. I feel we're both better [than last year]. It's a potential spectacular seven games up and down the ice.' The play was physical, the pace frenetic, a terrific advertisement for hockey, a reminder why we love sports. And just the beginning! If this is how this series is going to be ... yes, please. Game 2 is Friday back in Edmonton before the series returns to South Florida for Game 3 Monday. The Panthers by winning again would be only the third pro team South Florida sports history to win back to back, after the Miami Dolphins in 1972-73 and Miami Heat in 2012-13. Don Shula and LeBron James. Fair company. A double-crown by the Cats also would instigate dynasty talk, and at loud volume, after a sensational four-year run that would have declared no sign of ending. The Edmonton Oilers by winning would chase the ice-monkey off the back of both superstar Connor McDavid and all of Canada. To the starving country that invented hockey, it would deliver a first Cup since 1993. For McDavid, raising Lord Stanley's prize for the first time to cap his 10th season would complete the legacy of a player called McJesus, called an all-time great -- but a king without a crown until he wins one. Need a bit more spice? Or perhaps half comic-relief, half genuine vitriol? There's the undercurrent of politics stirring animus between the neighbors, with Canadians angered by President Donald Trump's tariffs and his absurd aside saying perhaps Canada should be the 51st U.S. state. McDavid's is the face at the center of the maelstrom. 'There's a big circus. You can feel like it's larger than it is,' he said on the doorstep of Game 1. 'At the end of the day, it's another series, and we're playing another great team, and you've got to beat them before anything else happens. So they have our complete focus. All of our energy is going into beating the Florida Panthers. There should be nothing else on anyone's mind.' Yours truly admits to playing maybe a tiny part in the circus with a reprise of my 'McOverrated' nickname for McDavid, based solely on his having never yet won the Cup. McDavid's boyhood hero, Sidney Crosby, and Canadian legend Wayne Gretzky, whose statue is outside the Edmonton arena, both lost in their first Stanley Cup Final before later winning. Can McDavid? Finally? 'I see, obviously, the parallels that everyone wants to write about,' McDavid said. 'At the end of the day, this is a different story. Different teams, a different group. I'm just excited to have another kick at the can here, that's all. You couldn't ask for a better opportunity than to go against the team that beat us last year.' As McDavid spoke Tuesday, seated during the NHL's Cup Final media day, a giant poster of the Panthers' Matthew Tkachuk lifting last year's Cup trophy looked over McDavid's shoulder, as if he needed a reminder of what he lacked. Edmonton entered the Final a slight betting favorite at most sportsbooks, leading Tkachuk to say his team embraced the underdog role even as reigning champions, and calling the Cats 'greedy' to win again (though Tkachuk himself has had a somewhat quiet postseason, evidently not 100 percent healthy). The hallowed Cup was on the ice before the puck dropped Wednesday. Will Tkachuk, et al, lift it again in two weeks ... or will McDavid for the first time? We have only just begun. Teams that win Game 1 in the playoffs win the series 68.1 percent of the time historically, but leaning too heavily on such data is dicey. Just two rounds ago the Panthers trailed Toronto in games 2-0 but got it to a Game 7 and advanced. Wednesday, Edmonton fans had barely finished singing their Oh Canada anthem a capella (full-throated and lovely) when the lamp lit just 66 seconds into the game on Leon Draisaitl's snap shot in close, after Bobrovsky deflected but could not glove the shot before. 'You come in here and your ears are ringing,' Cats captain Aleksander Barkov had said of an Oilers home crowd, the din backing him up. The noise wouldn't last. It died mid-first with a 1-1- tie on a Carter Verhaeghe shot that deflected in off Bennett for Bennett's NHL-leading 11th score of this postseason. Edmonton challenged for goaltender interference but lost because Bennett had been tripped into goalie Stuart Skinner. The lost challenge gifted a power play to Florida -- and the Cats cashed two minutes later for a 2-1 lead on a Brad Marchand wrist shot from a gorgeous cross-ice pass from distance by Nate Schmidt. Marchand had done really well in the team poker game on the 2,500-mile flight to Edmonton. 'I sort of cleaned up,' he said. He won again finishing that snake from Schmidt's stick. That Panthers' second goal was the team's 50th on the road this postseason (in 11 games) to break the league record for a single playoffs. Just after that three penalties called within 24 seconds left Florida on the wrong end of a 4-on-3 power play the Cats survived thanks largely to Bobrovsky, who rose up big as the Oilers led 15-7 in first-period shots on goal. The frantic pace spilled into the second period as two minutes in Bennett's second goal of the night and Panthers-record 12th of the postseason made it 3-1 and muted the home crowd ... for a minute. Bennett is due a payday from Florida or another team after this season. Wednesday raised his asking price for sure. But it was 3-2 only 77 seconds later on a Viktor Varvidsson shot that found Bobrvosky screened a bit and letting a past a puck he'd have likely stopped with a full sight-line. Bobrovsky again was partly screened on the Mattias Ekholm snap shot that tied it 3-3 third into the third period, McDavid assisting for his first point of the night. Edmonton was dominating as the game lapsed into the 20-minute sudden-death overtime, then finished late in OT when Draisaitl's shot sent arena decibels through the roof. What an encore to last year's seven-game championship series. And we've only just begun.

To mark National Trails Day, you can try out a Hypershell X – the outdoor exoskeleton for everyone
You may have seen exoskeletons deployed for military, scientific, or medical use, but the X series from Hypershell is different: It's designed for anyone to use, to go farther and for longer with bionic assistance, on hikes and other outdoor adventures. Our own Kyle Barr has tried the Hypershell Pro X, and was impressed. An X exoskeleton will ordinarily set you back $1,000 or above, but Hypershell is partnering with the American Hiking Society (AHS) to mark National Trails Day on June 7, 2025. For the occasion, 30 Hypershell Pro X devices will be distributed to 10 hiking sites, where they can be tested by volunteers and walkers. Enter Now to Win a Hypershell Exoskeleton 'Hypershell was founded on the belief that technology should expand the boundaries of human movement, especially in the wild,' says Kelvin Sun, the founder and CEO of Hypershell. 'Our mission aligns deeply with that of the American Hiking Society, which has been the national voice for America's hikers for nearly 50 years. We're honored to stand with them in promoting access, adventure, and stewardship on the trails.' The Hypershell X The Hypershell X is a piece of outdoor gear quite unlike any other: The exoskeleton fits to your back, around your waist, and attaches to your legs. It then puts you on cheat mode as far as hiking goes, giving you faster speeds and extending your stamina—you can use it to complete walks you might not otherwise attempt, or to finish routes you can tackle in a faster time. For the hiking beginner, it gives you the confidence to get out on the trail. For the hiking expert, it levels up what you're capable of. For younger walkers, it can add years on, and for older walkers, it can take years off. The exoskeleton is there to help you move farther, stronger, and smarter, and it's designed to fit seamlessly into the way you move. You've got three models to choose from: The Go X, the Pro X, and the Carbon X. They offer increasing levels of performance and power, with Hypershell promising they'll give you up to 40 percent more leg strength and equal up to 30 percent less physical exertion. It can offset up to 30 kilograms or 66 pounds of weight, while battery range is good for up to 17.5 kilometers or almost 11 miles. The weight of the Hypershell X exoskeleton itself is a mere 2 kilograms or 4.4 pounds, or a little less if you go for the carbon fiber and titanium option—so it's definitely not going to weigh you down. As well as walking, because of its lightweight and unobtrusive nature, it's also suitable for running and cycling. Enter Now to Win a Hypershell Exoskeleton Underpinning everything is an AI MotionEngine, programmed to adapt in real time to your movement. Based on inputs from more than a dozen sensors, it figures out your next step, and then provides assistance to propel you forward. It's personalized too, so it learns your walking gait over time, and should feel more natural the more you use it. You wear the battery on your back, rucksack style, and when you're not using your Hypershell X it folds right down too for easy transport. With the battery weighing in at 400 grams or 0.88 pounds, you can easily pack spares too—giving you even more range across several hikes or several days. The exoskeleton offers quite a bit of control over how much assistance it actually gives you, and you've got three different modes of operation to choose between, to balance battery life and performance. What's more, it's IP54 rated, and can work in conditions as cold as -10 degrees Celsius (that's 14 degrees Fahrenheit). In our review, Kyle described the Pro X model as being easy to use, comfortable to wear, and effective at helping you to walk further with less effort. There are 'plenty of people who can benefit from this device' he concluded—including not just experienced hikers but those who are less likely to go walking due to inability, injury, or age. Enter Now to Win a Hypershell Exoskeleton The Hypershell X is an award-winner too: It picked up an Innovation Award as part of CES 2025, with its 'revolutionary and ultra-light ergonomic design' singled out for special praise. Exoskeletons are no longer the stuff of science fiction, the super-rich, or the army—and you might start to see them much more often on your hiking trails. National Trails Day Hypershell's partnership with the AHS is about making hiking more accessible, to everyone—people of any age, of all abilities. Those who might otherwise have considered getting out on the trail beyond them can take on the challenge, while experienced walkers can get a synthetic boost to their natural abilities. National Trails Day is the signature annual event of the AHS, and this year it falls on Saturday, June 7. The idea behind the event is to encourage people to get active outdoors, to connect with other members of their community, and perhaps to give something back to the trails in terms of tidying up a route and leaving it in a better condition than when you found it. You can find out more about National Trails Day here, and look up events happening in your local area. Typically, tens of thousands of people across the US get together for the day, advocating for public lands and trails, and enjoying some of the majestic splendor offered by the natural landscape all around us. These goals and passions fit in neatly with Hypershell and its X exoskeleton of course, and as part of National Trails Day this year, Hypershell will be at the Tahoe Rim Trail project near Big Meadow Trailhead in Lake Tahoe, California. The aim of the day is to introduce a new highway crossing reroute, which will improve hiker safety and mean a better overall experience for anyone using the route. Anyone attending the project event will have the chance to try on the Hypershell Pro X and take advantage of all the benefits it brings: Reducing strain and extending endurance, and from there supporting the admirable work being put into trail maintenance during this special day of outdoor gatherings. Enter Now to Win a Hypershell Exoskeleton Just turn up on the day to get involved and see if an exoskeleton could be the upgrade for you. You can get more information on all of this from the official Hypershell website, or the official American Hiking Society website—both have plenty of resources and plenty of information for you to check out, and there are gear giveaways you can take part in too.

Trump one of 'supportive' voices to back Pete Rose's removal from ineligible list, MLB commish says
Scrutiny increased over Pete Rose's Baseball Hall of Fame eligibility once the former Cincinnati Reds star died last year, as President Donald Trump weighed in with his own thoughts on the issue. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred removed Rose, and several other players, from the ineligible list in May, allowing the possibility of those athletes being voted into the Hall of Fame. He admitted at a news conference owners meeting on Wednesday that Trump's support for Rose was one of the many factors that went into the decision. "The president was one of a number of voices that was supportive of the idea that this was the right decision," Manfred said. "Obviously, I have respect for the office and the advice that he gave I paid attention to, but I had a lot of other people that were weighing in on the topic, as well." Trump wrote on Truth Social in March that he planned to pardon Rose. He and Manfred met in April about Rose's Hall of Fame candidacy. "Major League Baseball didn't have the courage or decency to put the late, great, Pete Rose, also known as 'Charlie Hustle,' into the Baseball Hall of fame. Now he is dead, will never experience the thrill of being selected, even though he was a FAR BETTER PLAYER than most of those who made it, and can only be named posthumously. WHAT A SHAME!" the president wrote. "Anyway, over the next few weeks I will be signing a complete PARDON of Pete Rose, who shouldn't have been gambling on baseball, but only bet on HIS TEAM WINNING. He never betted against himself, or the other team. He had the most hits, by far, in baseball history, and won more games than anyone in sports history. Baseball, which is dying all over the place, should get off its fat, lazy a--, and elect Pete Rose, even though far too late, into the Baseball Hall of Fame!" Rose died last September at the age of 83 from hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The effort to get Rose a plaque in Cooperstown took a step forward on May 13. "This issue has never been formally addressed by Major League Baseball, but an application filed by the family of Pete Rose has made it incumbent upon the Office of the Commissioner to reach a policy decision on this unprecedented issue in the modern era as Mr. Rose is the first person banned after the tenure of Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis to die while still on the ineligible list. Commissioner Manfred has concluded that MLB's policy shall be that permanent ineligibility ends upon the passing of the disciplined individual," the MLB said. Rose admitted to gambling in 2004 after years of claiming his innocence. He died in September and predicted 10 days before his death he would not make the Hall of Fame until after he died, if at all. It was found that Rose gambled on the Reds, only to win, while he was both a manager and a player.
