Panthers can clinch a 2nd consecutive Stanley Cup championship by beating the Oilers in Game 6
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — The Florida Panthers can win the Stanley Cup for the second year in a row by beating the Edmonton Oilers in Game 6 of the final on Tuesday night. Their first chance to clinch the franchise's second championship comes at home after a dominant performance in Game 5 at Edmonton. Advertisement 'It's a great opportunity,' forward Matthew Tkachuk said. 'Our fans have given us so much love and support and momentum this year that they deserve this type of game at home.' Since opening night of their title defense, the Panthers have won 32 of 50 games at their arena on the edge of the Everglades. Their NHL-record-tying success of winning 10 on the road this playoffs has allowed them the opportunity to close out the Oilers at home. 'We don't really try to think where we are, where we play, but obviously it's fun to be at home — have the home energy, have the home crowd, and be able to play in front of them,' center Anton Lundell said. 'I'm sure it's going to be a loud building, and we're looking forward to it.' Last year, they lost their first try on the road, then let two more slip away before finishing it off in Game 7. Players believe going through that steeled them for what is in front of them now. Advertisement 'Everything we've kind of gone through, we just have more experience, so you get a little bit more comfortable in the situation,' forward Evan Rodrigues said. "Whenever you can gain experience and feel like the moment's not bigger than it is, it helps and it helps the nerves and, yeah, you just go out and play your game.' That is captain Aleksander Barkov's thought process, eschewing the past for a focus on the present. "Experience helps with that kind of stuff, but the most important thing is to stick with your game," Barkov said. "That's the thing. You don't need to change anything. You need to just be as good as possible. And that's been our whole mindset all playoffs: Every next game, you have to be a little better than the previous game.' ___ AP NHL playoffs: and Stephen Whyno, The Associated Press

Owen Farrell focuses on Saracens return but keeps Lions and England on back burner
If either call were to come, does Owen Farrell want to go on tour with England or the British & Irish Lions this summer? It is both the question that most intrigues and the one that he steadfastly does not answer following his return to Saracens. 'There's nothing for me to do other than concentrate on getting myself back here and getting myself in the best place I can and everything else is hypothetical,' is a typical example of his response. There were a number of others in the 20 minutes spent in his company, back at the StoneX stadium after a torrid season with Racing 92, but all gave little insight into what his reaction might be if Steve Borthwick or his dad, Andy Farrell, wish to call him up for either England's summer tour of Argentina and the USA, or the Lions' trip to Australia. Advertisement Related: Johnny Sexton insists he is 'here to help' Finn Russell despite past Lions criticism Farrell, of course, has every right to keep his counsel. He is still unpacking boxes at his Harpenden home so recent was the confirmation of his move back to Saracens. He turns 34 in September and though he doesn't regret his move to Racing, the sense he gives is that his remaining playing days are precious so where better to spend them than at his boyhood club. 'I couldn't see myself anywhere else other than here,' he says. 'This is my home and this is the place where I'd want to go.' He speaks of a determination to 'get myself in a good place' to 'enjoy myself' and to 'be happy' after a season littered with injury problems that began in pre-season in Paris. The fallout from the 2023 World Cup campaign in which he became England's record points scorer and was booed by his own supporters, prompting a decision to step away from international duty before his move to Racing was sealed, is significant, too. He is unequivocal that he has not retired from England duty – keeping the door open on adding to his 112 caps – but it is easy to come to the conclusion that settling back into Saracens with a full pre-season is what he wants most for now. 'I keep talking about enjoying myself, and being happy,' he says. 'I think that's the way I get more out of it now. More out of the playing side now, and more out of everything. That's what opens up more opportunity. If I get to that, and I'm loving what I'm doing, then we'll see.' Advertisement Yet when offered ample opportunity to say he remains unavailable for international action this summer, he does not take it. He confesses to finding it hard watching England's Six Nations campaign in 2024 and after a concussion last month brought a premature end to his Racing season, he is closing in on full fitness. 'I'm still working and training on my own,' he adds. 'It would probably be better if I was with a team at the minute, but if I was to play I'd have to go through the protocol to get back to contact. I shouldn't be far away from that.' He has been in fairly regular contact with Borthwick, who visited Farrell in Paris, and now that he is back at Saracens he is in theory available again. He could already be back at England's training camp in Bagshot but you suspect it would take an injury for the head coach to sound Farrell out about this summer. The Lions tour is a different proposition but, in some ways, something Farrell might be more suited to. He has been on three tours before, knows precisely what they entail, and father Andy would know exactly what he is getting. Andy revealed that the door was still open for Farrell Jr to join the tour at a later stage when announcing his squad last month and asked what the current state of play is, Owen replied: 'It's not changed I don't think, it's the same.' His ears prick up when learning that Jack van Poortvliet has been called up by the Lions as injury cover this week – Farrell has a punditry gig to prepare for on Friday for the warmup match against Argentina after all – but listen to him reflect on his previous Lions experiences, particularly the 2013 tour of Australia and the passion still burns brightly. 'I loved the first one. There were only two fly-halves picked and I was 21 and was involved in all but one game,' he says. 'I loved it.' It is as good a clue as any as to his answer if the call does come. For Farrell strikes as entirely genuine in his pursuit of happiness but across his 17-year career he has rarely seemed happier than when in the heat of battle.

Owen Farrell gives thoughts on Lions and England duty after rejoining Saracens
Owen Farrell will not tie himself 'in knots' over the possibility of a Lions call-up following his return to Saracens but refused to close the door on this summer's tour to Australia. The 33-year-old this week cut short his stay at Racing 92 in order to move back to the Premiership with the club where he had previously spent his whole career, after injury wrecked his debut season in the Top 14. Advertisement The fly-half, who announced he was stepping away from Test rugby with England following the 2023 World Cup citing a toll on his mental health, said he is 'not retired' from international duty and has kept in contact with coach Steve Borthwick during his time in France. He was not named in the 38-man Lions squad picked last month by his dad Andy despite there being no rules prohibiting his selection while he was based outside of England, but he has left open the possibility of answering the call should injuries dictate. Asked what his stance would be on a possible call-up, he said: 'It's not changed I don't think. Advertisement 'There's nothing for me to do other than concentrate on getting myself back (at Saracens) and getting myself in the best place I possibly can do. Everting else is hypothetical.' Farrell Sr had previously left the door open to his son joining up with the Lions in Australia, though he was not among the additional players recruited for a training camp in Portugal last week. Owen Farrell last represented the Lions on the 2021 tour to South Africa (Steve Haag/PA) He will however be in attendance when the team play Argentina in Dublin on Friday as he makes his debut as a TV pundit during Sky Sports' coverage of the game. The Saracens returnee, who has taken part in three previous Lions tours, was asked whether it was reasonable to assume he would be in the running for a late call-up given his experience. Advertisement 'I'm not thinking like that,' he said. 'I think if you do start thinking like that you can tie yourself in knots. All that I can do is focus on what I've got going on and get myself in the best place I can be.' Farrell has not played since suffering a head injury during Racing's defeat to Lyon in last month's Challenge Cup semi-final, while a groin problem previously caused him to miss significant periods of what has turned to be his only season in France. Farrell won the Premiership six times during his first spell with Saracens (Joe Giddens/PA) The return to Saracens means he becomes immediately available for selection for Borthwick's England. 'We've kept in touch with Steve,' he said. 'He came out to Racing earlier in the season. The main thing is getting myself in a good place, getting myself back here, back in the Premiership to Saracens and loving what I'm doing. I really feel like I can do that here. That's the starting point. Advertisement 'I keep talking about enjoying myself, I keep talking about being happy, but I think that's the way that I get more out of it now. That's what opens up a lot more opportunity. If I get to that and I'm loving what I'm doing then we'll see. 'I'm not retired, no.'
