EDMONTON – The worst-kept secret in hockey right now is the Edmonton Oilers' need for a goaltender.

Bowman addressed that need earlier in the offseason by letting goaltending coach Dustin Schwartz's contract expire and bringing on Peter Aubry from the Chicago Blackhawks organization. Robinson of Elite Prospects appeared on Monday's edition of The Sekeres and Price Show, a Vancouver Canucks focused radio show/podcast. On the August 11th episode, he focused on the Oilers goalie search and a few players the Oilers have checked in on. 'I believe the first person they asked about was Trey Augustine,' Robinson revealed on the show. 'I think that was just a non-starter. Steve Yzerman and company really love that kid.' 'But, they have a 6-foot-6, 6-foot-7 former first-rounder in Sebastian Cossa sitting there who's slowly been progressing.' Oilers Eyeing Trade for Former Oil Kings Goaltender? The Edmonton Oilers could be exploring a move to bolster their goaltending depth, and recent comments from team insider Bob Stauffer have sparked speculation that Detroit Red Wings prospect Sebastian Cossa might be a target. Trey Augustine is a 20-year-old goalie who is returning to Michigan State University in the NCAA this year. The 6-foot-1, 183 lb prospect was taken 41st overall in the 2023 draft. This past season, he posted a 2.08 goals against average (GAA), a .924 save percentage (SV%), three shutouts, and 19 wins in 30 games. On the other hand, Sebastian Cossa is listed as 6-foot-6 and 229 lb on the Detroit Red Wings website. The 15th overall pick of the 2021 draft played 41 games in the AHL and one NHL game. In the AHL, he boasted a record of 21-15-5 to go along with a 2.45 GAA, a .911 SV%, and one shutout. Cossa's NHL appearance came in relief of Ville Husso during the Red Wings' December 9th game against the Buffalo Sabres. In just over two periods of play, only two goals were scored on him on 14 shots. Who would you rather see the Oilers acquire: Augustine or Cossa? Let us know your thoughts by voting in the poll.

New green card rules for non-citizen children in US: How will it affect Indians?
USCIS issues new rule for age calculation of a child seeking green card along with parents. The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services announced a new rule for age calculation of non-citizen children applying for a green card on their parents' petitions. It stated that, starting from August 15, the Final Action Date will be used for calculating the child's age instead of the current rule of considering the Dates for Filing. This means more children will age out soon. An unmarried alien child must be under age 21 to obtain lawful permanent resident status in the United States based on their parent's approved petition for a family-sponsored, employment-based, or diversity visa. If they turn 21 and age out during the immigration process, they generally are no longer eligible to immigrate based on their parents' petition. The Child Status Protection Act (CSPA) helps certain children remain eligible for a Green Card past their 21st birthday, protecting them from 'ageing out' due to long processing delays. — USCIS (@USCIS) In February 2023, USCIS expanded this protection by allowing the Dates for Filing chart, often years ahead of the Final Action Dates chart, to determine when a visa is 'available' for CSPA purposes. This let many families file sooner and lock in a child's age under 21. "If an alien is applying for adjustment of status under a family-sponsored, employment-based preference, or diversity visa, they must seek to acquire lawful permanent residence within one year of when a visa becomes available to benefit from the CSPA age calculation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like She Mixed Pink Salt With This - Now She Can't Stop Losing Weight Your Health Undo This update also clarifies that we consider an alien to have satisfied the 'sought to acquire' requirement if they demonstrate extraordinary circumstances for failing to seek lawful permanent resident status within one year of when a visa becomes available. If an alien demonstrates extraordinary circumstances for not applying for adjustment of status during the period of the Feb. 14, 2023, policy before August 15, 2025, we will calculate CSPA age under the Feb. 14, 2023, policy," the USCIS said. How will it affect Indian families? Children could now turn 21 before the Final Action Date is reached, and thereby they have to switch to a separate petition. Since the rule is to be implemented from August 15, Indian families can file adjustment of status applications as soon as the Dates for Filing chart allows, especially before August 15, 2025, to lock in the more favorable CSPA age calculation.

Armagh boss on what his side must do to take down Laois and net All-Ireland prize
And this is something that the Armagh camogie side are acutely aware of as they prepare to take on Laois in the Premier Junior All-Ireland Final shoot-out at Croke Park on Sunday (1pm). Armagh have certainly sampled their ups and downs in the sport, but there is a buoyancy surrounding the team just now that augurs well for the confrontation with their midland opponents. It is perhaps helpful that Armagh are well-grounded for Sunday's game, particularly as there has been a turnover of personnel in their side. Indeed, it will be left to experienced quintet Ciara Hill, Rachel Merry, Nicola Woods, Ciarrai Devlin and Eimear Hayes to set the tone for their team's performance at Headquarters. Armagh coach PJ O'Mullan is one of the most experienced team mentors in the country, and no doubt he will apply his experience in ensuring that his team meet the challenge head-on and play themselves to a standstill. O'Mullan is bolstered by a very efficient backroom team who are well-versed in Championship fare and will not be found wanting. And O'Mullan believes that this applies to his team as well. 'While it is great to be in this Final, we have to show that we can rise to the occasion,' stresses O'Mullan. 'You do not get too many bites at the cherry when you see action at Croke Park, so you just have to make the most of it. 'We feel we have a solid core of experience, but Laois will pose a big threat.' Merry and Hayes are two players who have been scoring regularly of late, but the team as a whole have been showing the enterprise and drive that O'Mullan feels could take them to the All-Ireland title. He views this clash with Laois as a formidable test and he is hoping that his players can minimise mistakes and make the most of their scoring chances. He is in no doubt, though, in what he believes will be a key element in Armagh's battle for All-Ireland glory. 'The team will have to hit the ground running from the outset and put Laois under pressure,' insists O'Mullan. Also on Sunday at Headquarters, Kerry and Offaly clash in the Intermediate decider (3pm) ahead of the day's main course, the Senior Final between Galway and Cork, with the Rebels going for three in a row.

TG4 have smashed through their viewership record for the All-Ireland ladies football finals. Although the attendance at Croke Park last Sunday (48,000) didn't come close to the record 56,000 for the Dublin/Galway All-Ireland Final in 2019, the audience watching on at home soared. According to official TAM Ireland/Nielsen reach figures nearly 490,000 viewers tuned into TG4's coverage of Finals Day, which featured the senior, intermediate and junior deciders across the afternoon. The senior decider between Dublin and Meath attracted an average audience of 172,500 (27percent share), representing an audience increase of 16percent compared to the 2024 senior final. Viewing peaked at 5:43pm as Dublin closed in on regaining the Brendan Martin Cup. The average audience for the Intermediate Final (Tyrone v Laois) was 93,900, with the Junior Final (Antrim v Louth) at 32,600. There was a 37percent increase in live streams across the three finals compared to 2024, which also reflects a broader trend in the growing popularity of live online sport. And there were over 3.4 million views of Spórt TG4 social media channels during finals week. Nicole Owens' spectacular goal for Dublin had 120,000 views within just 24 hours. TG4 have been partnering with the LGFA since 2001, making this their 25th year covering the games.
