🏒 Good morning for everything, but especially to …

The Edmonton Oilers

Records, they say, are made to be broken. Good, Leon Draisaitl and the Oilers Just broke several … in the same competition … to possibly save their season. Draisatil scored the game winner to push Edmonton to a 5-4 overtime game 4 win over the Leopard. The series is 2-2 bound.

• Matthew Tkachuk has a few power play goals in the first period, and Anton Lundell made it 3-0 later in the period. Edmonton looked terrible, took too many penalties and got nothing offensive.
• Edmonton pulled keeper Stuart Skinner for Calvin PickardAnd the tide shifted quickly. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (on a power play) and Darnell nurse (from a sharp angle) scored high, and Vasily Podkolzin Scored on a hassle for the net to bind the game.
• A Jake Wallman Drive puts the oilers first in the third period 4-3, but Sam Reinhart Bond the game of a hectic series with 19.5 seconds left. It was the second larger game-typing goal in the last history of Stanley Cup … only behind Corey Perry‘s in game 2.
• Florida checked a lot of the overtime but pickard made several huge stops-very-offat draisaitl a cross-cice pass and scored after his shot with one hand was demolished Niko Mikkola Through Sergei Bobrovskylegs.

History, part one: teams that ran with three or more goals after one period were 0-37 in the last history of Stanley Cup. History, part two: It is bound for the largest Stanley Cup Final Road Comeback with the 1919 Canadiens. History, part three: Draisaitl’s four overtime hours are the most in one late season.

Wow, wow, wow. What a game. What a series.

🏀 NBA Finals Choose Thunder-Pacers Game 4 again

If there is one thing that we do here at CBS Sports, it will keep ourselves responsible. It is not always fun to visit the hot again, is getting cold, but sometimes it is necessary.

Before the NBA final started, All six of our experts chose the Thunder around the Pacers. Two of them chose the Thunder in five, which is no longer possible, and three chose the Thunder in six, where Oklahoma City would win the next three games – let alone that Indiana still has to fall two Games in a row this late season.

So we had our experts pick upAnd James Herbert and Colin Ward-Henninger held.

• Ward-Henninger: “Thunder in 7. (Original choice: Thunder in 7.) I should be proud that I originally predicted a long series, but now I actually feel nervous about holding on to the Thunder. In the end I am in the field of OKC’s substantial home advantage (only eight home losses in the regular and late season together) to wear them to a game 7 victory. That said, they will have to win one game in Indiana, and there are already signs that the Pacers are starting to wear OKC – which can be striking as the series progresses. “

Even with a 2-1 lead, the Pacers have only turned one of our experts from Oklahoma City to Indiana.

The chances Still prefer Oklahoma City to win and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander To win MVP. But if Bennedict Mathurin keeps his Game 3 -Ising And Caitlin Clark remains Indiana’s Good luck charmA Historical upset could be in the offing.
