Leon Draisaitl acknowledged there was a reason he and the Edmonton Oilers lost to the Vegas Golden Knights in the playoffs last season. Asked what stood about the team that eliminated them and went on to win the Stanley Cup, one thing came to the German star’s mind.“They’re deep,” Draisaitl said. “They have four lines that they can roll against any line out there.”And it wasn’t just depth at forward that helped the Golden Knights finish atop the Western Conference after 82 games and the NHL after four grueling rounds of the postseason. They used 10 defensemen and five different goaltenders along the way, showing the value of depth in hockey at every position, establishing consistency and creating a blueprint for other contenders to follow.“Our team’s a great example of it,” Vegas playoff leading scorer Jack Eichel said. “We were consistent. Our special teams got better. Our goaltending was great. We utilized their depth … and I thought we found our real identity.”I...

Last remodeled in 1948, the diner is the definition of old-fashioned.But that hasn’t stopped it from getting a wave of new fans.In August 2022, this old school business met the new world when Nicolas Heller, a TikToker and Instagrammer with 1.2 million followers known as New York Nico, popped in for a traditional Coke float – Coke syrup, soda water and ice cream.
