Panthers took long road to title; the Stanley Cup proves the path was right one

SUNRISE, Fla. — Matthew Tkachuk decided to go for a little swim as his offseason was beginning on Tuesday morning. The Florida Panthers forward took a few steps off the sand and into the water of Fort Lauderdale Beach, then dove in while hanging onto his new best friend. The Stanley Cup got a little wet. That moment — one of many from the first 12 hours or so of the Cup being in the possession of the newly crowned champion Panthers — was a long time coming, helping cap what really was a four-year process of rebuilding the team’s roster, coaching staff and style of play with ...

AI Has a Place in the Classroom Despite Its Challenges

Within the past week, I have been reading some interesting Chronicle of Higher Education articles that my campus dean sent regarding concern about students’ lack of zeal for intellectual engagement in the classroom. We spent some time discussing this in my annual review, particularly how many professors now feel they are at a crossroads in reaching Gen Z, the current traditional generation of college students. Gen Z attention spans keep getting shorter as they are locked into the latest TikTok challenge and scroll through their phones to see “what’s poppin on the Gram” ...

McDavid, Oilers can make history in Stanley Cup Final Game 7 vs. Florida

SUNRISE, Fla. — Connor McDavid admired and looked up to Sidney Crosby as the kind of player he wanted to become one day. But when McDavid was pretending as a kid to score the goal to win the Stanley Cup, he always imagined himself being in that position. “You’re not sure you’re ever going to get that opportunity,” McDavid said. “Here we are with that opportunity.” That opportunity is only possible after McDavid led the Edmonton Oilers back from a 3-0 deficit in the final to set up Game 7 against the Florida Panthers on Monday night with hockey’s hallowed trophy at ...

Montreal’s 1993 Cup champs watching as Edmonton can end Canada’s title drought

SUNRISE, Fla. — When members of the 1993 Montreal Canadiens gathered for a reunion to commemorate 30 years since they won the Stanley Cup, they told stories and reminisced about the championship run. Vincent Damphousse, their leading scorer that postseason, had plenty to share but also had forgotten so much. It has, after all, been three decades since he and his teammates defeated Wayne Gretzky and the Los Angeles Kings to lift the Cup for the franchise’s NHL-record 24th time. Not only has Montreal not won it again since, but neither has any other team based in Canada — a ...

Scheffler outlasts protest on 18th green to win Travelers

CROMWELL, Conn. — Scottie Scheffler had to wait out a climate protest on the 18th green and Tom Kim’s tying birdie on the last hole of regulation. Those events only delayed what seems to be inevitable on the PGA Tour this season: the best golfer in the world walking off with the trophy. Shrugging off a protest that interrupted the tournament on the 72nd hole while the leaders were lining up their putts, Scheffler won the Travelers Championship on the first hole of sudden death on Sunday for his sixth win of the year, the most in one season on the PGA Tour since Tiger Woods had ...

Bell takes checkered flag on rain tires in the NASCAR Cup race at New Hampshire

LOUDON, N.H. — Christopher Bell raised a broom over his head and clutched a 24-pound lobster in victory lane all because he earned his third Cup win of the season in an outcome that would have been impossible before this NASCAR season. Heck, it still looked pretty grim for most of Sunday at a rainy track. Once the skies cleared, NASCAR busted out its latest creation it had saved for a rainy day — wet weather Goodyear tires that allowed the race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway to continue all the way to a thrilling end. Bell mastered the Cup Series’ first race that ended with ...
