In case anyone had forgotten, the 20-year-old just reminded the world of that fact. McDavid completed a no-look, behind the back assist to Patrick Maroon right in front of the goal early in the first period of the Oilers’ game against the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday night, tying the game up 1-1. The assist marked McDavid’s third of the season. He also has three goals of his own so far this year....
The midfielder was playing against the New York Red Bulls for the first time since he was traded to the Chicago Fire in the offseason, with the match taking place at Red Bull Arena. WATCH: Kaka scores in first game back from injury But McCarty made an impact on the scoresheet, helping to set up a second-half equalizer. Bursting forward from his defensive midfield position, McCarty used a spin move to burn a pair of defenders and get into the area, before feeding Nemanja Nikolic for the 59th minute goal which reset the contest at 1-1....
Novak Djokovic defeated the Canadian in three sets at the Cincinnati Masters on Friday to maintain a 100 per cent career record in nine meetings with the powerful server. The Serbian former world number one had earlier accounted for defending champion Grigor Dimitrov in a match delayed due to rain on Thursday. But after such a long day of competition, Djokovic endured some self-inflicted difficulty leaving the Lindner Family Tennis Center in Ohio....

Svitolina and Monfils were blessed with a baby girl in October last year. While the Frenchman made a brief appearance at the Canadian Masters in August, Svitolina hasn’t competed in the women’s tour since her maternal break in March. She took to her social media handle on Instagram and shared a goofy video with her husband, captioning it the ‘cutest trend’. Svitolina never shies away from giving her fans an insight into her life and remains quite active on social media....
The video was released by Alauda Aeronautics via its Airspeeder racing company. Alauda, founded in 2016, designs what it calls “flying cars” or VTOL “multicopters”—essentially a large drone with a seat in the middle that uses eight sets of propellers to lift off.

Argentina’s bitter rivals were due to face off in the first ever Superclasico Copa Libertadores final on Saturday but stormy weather in Buenos Aires led to the game’s postponement. Sunday’s first leg was worth the wait, though, as an own goal scored by Boca’s Carlos Izquierdoz left the final in the balance ahead of the second leg at Estadio Monumental. Ramon Abila, Lucas Pratto and Dario Benedetto were also on the scoresheet in a gripping encounter at La Bombonera, with the sides to face off again in 13 days’ time....
During yesterday’s game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Miami Marlins, pitcher Edward Cabrera threw a 96 mph fastball right into Turner’s head. The pitch knocked Turner’s helmet completely off his head, and you can see he was a bit shaken up. Rather than exiting the game, however, Trea Turner decided to stay in and steal second base on the very next pitch. This marked Turner’s 21st stolen base of the season, where he is top-five in the National League....
Saturday marked Harvin's second game of the season with the Seahawks after being sidelined with a lingering hip injury that has plagued him for most of the season. Unfortunately, that start was short-lived. Harvin got demolished just two plays into his return by New Orleans Saints safety Rafael Bush hard enough to send his mouthpiece sailing across the field. Team doctors took Harvin's helmet and sent him into the locker room following the hit....
His fans were quite predictably ecstatic at the 17-second video posted by the academy. One user gushed over Nadal’s forehand, saying it had the power to heal the earth. Another fan said watching Nadal on clay was a huge mood booster. Nadal sustained a stress fracture in his rib during his Indian Wells campaign, which ended with a straight-sets loss to Taylor Fritz in the final. The Spaniard said after the match that he would be out of action for around six weeks....
In the viral video shared on TikTok on Sunday by his owner, with the username Pacoalleyesonmebcn, the American Staffordshire terrier can be seen sitting in his kennel, waiting to be adopted when he suddenly realizes that the couple is adopting him and he immediately starts jumping on his new parents. The post comes with a caption that explains: “We decided to adopt a dog that no one wanted that was his reaction,” and further down in the comments the owner explained that nobody wanted to adopt him because he has a “more energetic temperament” than other dogs....
[HTML1] A trend with recent talk shows has been to feature some of the biggest upcoming titles that gamers the world over have been waiting for.

Hurricane Ian slammed into Florida on Wednesday as a Category 4 hurricane with winds just a few miles per hour away from bumping the classification up to a Category 5. The hurricane resulted in a massive storm surge, and that surge appeared to have pushed a shark into a flooded street in Fort Myers, Florida. While some Twitter users tried to take credit for the video or said they got the video from a friend, the Associated Press has confirmed the video was authentic after speaking with the person who filmed the shark struggling to swim in his backyard....
The pricey Temple Bar neighborhood, a cobbled enclave of boutiques and pubs next to the River Liffey, is often described as Dublin’s Left Bank. It’s also Dublin’s most overpriced place to eat. One blessed exception is Cafe Gertrude (3-4 Bedford Row; 011-353-1-677-9043; entrees from $15.50), with its buttercup-yellow walls and pine floorboards. The tables, all 14 of them, turn over briskly, and the menu is simple stuff: potato cakes with bacon, smoked cheddar cheese and salsa; chicken-breast focaccia sandwiches with roasted sweet peppers and mozzarella, and hot apple-and-cinnamon crumble....

Governor Jay Inslee visited the Sumner Grade Fire and later said: “We are not going to surrender the future of this state to climate change. We are stronger, smarter and more resilient than that. “And I’ll be thinking of these fires and the communities they’re impacting when we take our next steps to defeat climate change.” Gov. Inslee has also declared a state of emergency that will allow for resources to be mobilized to help battle the wildfires....
The issue reignited on Thursday prior to the Redskins’ game against the Minnesota Vikings, as hundreds of protestors held signs and shouted chants outside of U.S. Bank Stadium to encourage the franchise to change its mascot and team name. It’s not the first time that the professional football team has been the subject of such protests, though the last one in Minnesota occurred in 2014 when the two teams met in Minneapolis....
From their Eastern Conference-leading 10-3 record, the Washington Wizards have sputtered to a 2-4 campaign since then. Their inability to put points on the board has been the main culprit for the wobbly past couple of games. The defense, although still stout, has regressed a little as well. The Dallas Mavericks are also trying to shake off their lethargy in the last four games where they have gone 1-3. If not for an outburst in overtime against the Los Angeles Clippers, they could have easily been 0-4....
