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

Edmonton police constable hit a man seeking police help with baton, jury hears
An Edmonton police officer is on trial this week, facing two assault charges over a 2019 arrest where he allegedly injured a man with a police baton. A jury began hearing evidence Monday in the case against Const. Alexander Doduk, who pleaded not guilty to assault causing bodily harm and assault with a weapon. He was charged over an incident just outside the courthouse, near 97th Street and 103A Avenue, on the morning of Nov. 26, 2019. It was captured on security video from the Royal Alberta Museum, which was played in court for the jury. Crown prosecutor Michelle Kai told jurors that Doduk hit the complainant, Justin LaFrance, multiple times, as LaFrance fell to his knees. Kai said Doduk then struck him with a police baton as LaFrance raised his arm, trying to defend himself. LaFrance testified on Monday that he had been trying to flag down the officer for help, and he was left with a broken nose, a chipped tooth, an injury to his ribs and bruising down his left arm. Kai said the central question in the case is whether Doduk's actions were justified in the course of his duties as a police officer, whether he had reasonable grounds to arrest LaFrance and if he used no more force than necessary. "The Crown says he was not so justified, and will ask you to find him guilty of assault with a weapon and assault causing bodily harm," Kai said. Complainant testifies his brain 'shut off' The jury heard that LaFrance was working for a construction company at the former Downtown Farmers' Market building on 97th Street on the day of the alleged assault. LaFrance testified that he got to work at around 7:15 a.m. and began checking the building to make sure there wasn't damage or any break-ins overnight. He said that as he was turning on breakers around the building, he heard what sounded like a window breaking, and went to investigate. He told the jury that a man outside the building pointed him to a person across the street, near the Royal Alberta Museum. LaFrance said he was walking toward that man by the museum, when he saw a marked police car sitting at the intersection, and he waved and pointed at himself and the man to try to indicate he needed help. He told the jury he ran across the road, but when the officer caught up, he suddenly put the other man face down on the ground. "I said, 'I think that's really excessive for breaking a window,' and that he needed to calm down," LaFrance said. He testified that he remembers trying to tap the officer on the shoulder to get his attention to talk about the situation. "The whole purpose of trying to catch this individual was to get a line of communication — not what happened. It was not the intention of what I wanted," LaFrance said. At that point, he said, the police officer "aggressively," grabbed his wrist, and LaFrance pushed his hand away, and started backing away. "That's when I saw the aggression was coming, and my brain just kind of shut off. If he started saying stuff after I got hit, I wouldn't be able to tell you." LaFrance testified that he can't remember the details of what happened next. He said he recalls some time later, when several police officers were on top of him, putting him in handcuffs. He said he couldn't tell where he was because his glasses were broken. Eventually, he said he was taken to an ambulance, where he could feel blood coming down his face. "It's been to this point, almost six years, a gap in my life. I don't know why." The jury heard that LaFrance taken to the hospital, and on the way there, he was told he was being arrested for assaulting a police officer. Later on, he said he was taken to police holding cells, where an investigator took photos of his injuries before he was released on a promise to appear in court.
