What if they miss the playoffs altogether? MORE: Stanley Cup odds for all 31 teams A case can be made for any scenario, which is indicative of Toronto’s unpredictable youth more than anything. The Leafs slipped into the playoffs by a single point last year. But from their inspired run pushing the Presidents’ Trophy-winning Capitals to six games, a two-year window was born to fast-track those championship aspirations before being faced with the difficult cap decisions that have constrained other contenders....

The first teaser trailer for Marvel’s Wolverine definitely got the hype train rolling, but it was far too brief to offer anything truly substantial. For its interpretation of Spider-Man, Insomniac clearly dived into many versions of the wall crawler over the years, including comic books, past video games, and film adaptations. Wolverine has similarly popped up in many multimedia projects over the years, so there is no shortage of places for Insomniac to look when nailing its narrative and tone....

Greg Tramontin, head of GoAuto Insurance, has apologized after writing about how Donald Trump was “doing it for all the right reasons” and “loved his country” before referring to Harris and President-elect Joe Biden as “power hungry Joe and the hoe.” The phrase “Joe and the hoe” was used by the right to attack Harris during the election campaign. Baton Rouge community activist Gary Chambers has urged a boycott of Tramontin’s business....

The Serie A side needed to better Spurs’ result at the Camp Nou in order to overtake the Premier League outfit and snatch a place in the knockout rounds. Luciano Spalletti’s side thought they had done enough in the 73rd minute when captain Mauro Icardi marked his 200th game for the club by equalising Hirving Lozano’s 13th-minute opener, with Spurs a goal down in Catalonia. However, Lucas Moura levelled at 1-1 for Tottenham, enabling his team to advance to the last 16 thanks to the away goal they scored in their 2-1 defeat at the San Siro....

The post has gone viral since it was shared on Sunday, generating over 17,000 upvotes and 2,000 comments. Intervening on the behalf of someone else’s child can be a tricky endeavor. As Verywell Family notes, “some situations—especially when children put themselves or others at risk—demand adult intervention.” However, there are also many instances where “it may not be wise to do or say anything.” When the child’s parents are present, the site advises first and foremost to “talk to them about your concerns without demanding action or being judgmental....

Earlier this month, Page Six claimed insider sources considered giving the title to the Captain America actor last year but reconsidered because they felt the time wasn’t right: The report also speculated that the People held back their decision following the drama involving the accidental reveal of Evans’ photo on Instagram. However, the actor was deemed a strong contender for the title this year. Fans of the Knives Out actor were left excited at the possibility until Evans’ MCU co-star Paul Rudd took over the mantle....

In infinite_zerohero’s viral post, which has received more than 12,000 votes and nearly 4,000 comments, she explained her friend, “Ren,” purchased her first house with her fiancé “Jack.” The Redditor wrote that while at a housewarming party, Ren showed her the county auditor’s website where she saw Ren’s name on the property records but not Jack’s name. “She said that her credit score alone qualified them for a better interest rate and since her parents gave her the $35k down payment that she didn’t want his name on it since she and her family had the most to lose should something negative happen to their relationship or one of them passes away,” infinite_zerohero wrote....

The neighbor took to popular forum Mumsnet in a bid to gain insight on how she should react and whether or not she should cave in. In her post, which received over 140 replies, she shared that they bought the house a few years ago and have made efforts to make the yard look nice, including a walkway and new patio, gaining compliments from neighbors.

The viral TikTok video, with the caption “she doesn’t care,” was shared by @moosbigday on January 15 and had more than 590,000 views on the social media platform. At the beginning of the clip, Moo’s owner says from behind the camera: “Hey Moomoo, what if I told you that you don’t need to bark.” It’s safe to say that didn’t go down well with the pomchi, a Pomeranian and Chihuahua mixed breed....

An Olympic sport since 2000, the triathlon is a multiple-stage competition involving the completion of three continuous and sequential endurance disciplines, traditionally involving swimming, cycling, and marathon running. The modern pentathlon, however, is a new beast. As the name suggests, it’s an Olympic Sport comprising five events namely fencing, 200 m freestyle swimming, show jumping, and a final combined event of pistol shooting, and a 3200 m cross-country run. Thus, it can be dubbed one of the most difficult events of the 25 core Olympic sports as it calls for not just endurance but also precise skills and presence of mind....
