Oilers at Panthers Stanley Cup Final Game 6 odds, picks: Edmonton faces elimination
The Edmonton Oilers are facing elimination on Florida ice in Tuesday night's Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final. Can Connor McDavid's squad push the series to a seventh game like they did last year? Or will Florida claim their second consecutive Stanley Cup title? Here's how to watch tonight's matchup. Advertisement Panthers lead series 3-2 Series odds: Panthers -350, Oilers +280 With a 5-2 win in Game 5, the Panthers have pushed Edmonton to the brink of elimination. It's a familiar feeling for these teams; the Oilers were in this position last year after just three games and managed to extend the series to seven. Can they go the distance again this year? If the Oilers are going to play another day, they need to find a way to contain Sam Bennett and Brad Marchand, who continue to dominate this series. The good news for Edmonton is that Connor McDavid finally broke through with a goal in Game 5. But the Oilers still have a lot of work to do, on both ends of the ice. The Panthers rolled right past Edmonton's defense and controlled play in the middle of the ice in Game 5. The Oilers, on the other hand, weren't able to cut through Florida's defense and only created a couple of dangerous looks against Sergei Bobrovsky. That left Calvin Pickard completely exposed in goal. The Oilers have a few tough decisions for Game 6 — from which goaltender to deploy to lineup and tactical adjustments — to better compete with the Panthers.

How Subaru became the brand face of America's rally racing program
Rally racing is a distinctly wild sport, with small cars barreling down dirt tracks in the woods, kicking up gravel as they skid around tight curves. Subaru is a distinctly practical brand, known for dependable all-wheel drive vehicles. So it might come as a surprise to some that Subaru, owned by 68-year-old Japanese transportation giant Subaru Corporation (market cap: $12.7 billion), has been placing bets on rally racing, a gritty but emerging corner of the motorsport world that it's been supporting for around thirty years. But there's a long-term strategy involved, and it's now paying off. Subaru's rally racing program offers a unique opportunity to build community around its brand and attract buyers in a key age segment: between 18 and 34 years old. Subaru's rally racing lead Over the past three decades, Subaru has invested millions to participate in the American Rally Association (the company declines to say how many). The ARA—a younger, feistier sibling of Europe's World Rally Championship, which Subaru has participated in since the 1970s—hosts more than 20 rallies per year, with the backing of the United States Auto Club. Since 2017, Subaru has been a main sponsor of the ARA national championship series. advertisement The final deadline for Fast Company's Next Big Things in Tech Awards is Friday, June 20, at 11:59 p.m. PT.

Advertisement Ahead of Monterrey's much-anticipated match against Inter Milan, Ramos spoke to the media and shared his thoughts on a range of topics. One name that naturally came up was Xabi Alonso, the former midfield general who is now leading Real Madrid as their new manager. Alonso is the right fit Ramos had nothing but praise for Alonso, highlighting his experience both on and off the pitch. 'Xabi Alonso is an interesting addition to Real Madrid. As a player, he won everything and knows how to manage a club,' Ramos said. Ramos feels Xabi Alonso is the right man for Real Madrid. (Photo by) Advertisement His words carry weight, considering the history they shared and the level of trust Ramos has in Alonso's leadership abilities. He also touched on the club's status in world football. 'Real Madrid is always the favourite in every competition. Because of their level, their players, their mentality,' he added. It is a statement many would agree with, as the Spanish giants often rise to the occasion when it matters most. When asked about the possibility of facing Real Madrid in the tournament, Ramos offered a light-hearted response. 'If we don't meet, all the better. We'll save ourselves the disappointment,' he laughed. Advertisement 'It would be an undeniable pleasure. I'd rather see them meet someone else. I prefer Atletico de Madrid, but we're going to focus on getting through the group stage first,' he added. Source: Mundo Deportivo
