m.jilibet Article content This in from TSN hockey insider Darren Dreger, talking to Dustin Nielson and Lt. Eric on Edmonton Sports Talk Radio about the biggest trade need of the Edmonton Oilers , which Dreger suggested is bringing in help on defence: “We’re going to be talking for a long time — until or unless management does something — about that defence. It does seem like that’s the deepest and darkest area of concern from a defensive and an offensive perspective. It’s pretty obvious. It’s basic hockey. If you don’t get the puck out of your own end, or you can’t transport the puck, into the hands of McDavid and Draisaitl, and go down the list of all the offensive weapons they have, that’s going to be a problem. And it has been. It’s what I think has put this team in a place of wild inconsistency. Dreger said that the Vancouver Canucks acquired Nikita Zadorov near the end of November last year, and that some teams can get decent pieces early. “Let’s see if Edmonton fits into that category. There’s no panic in Edmonton. Nor should there be. But there is concern when it comes to the consistency of this team... I paused for a bit because I wanted to use the ‘dysfunction’ word, and I think that applies as well when I look at their overall game and their lack of consistency.” My take 1. I’m not sure what Edmonton’s biggest need is, but I am sure that Edmonton needs to be careful before it spends assets to fill any one hole. Edmonton doesn’t have a lot in the way of assets, having traded away its first round pick in June 2025 draft and being mighty short on cap space as well. It strikes me that the Oilers will be able to fire just one big bullet this year to bring in a player. Until GM Stan Bowman is sure what the biggest hole is, best not fire off that special bullet, correct? Patience is in order. 2. I’m certainly not sure where the OIlers greatest area of need is. Are you sure? Is Oilers management? Is it in net, where Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard have yet to remind anyone of a fully competent NHL goaltending partnership? Is it on defence, where there’s clearly a hole, but we can’t be sure yet if it’s on the second pairing or the third pairing. If Brett Kulak and Darnell Nurse can get it done and done well on the second-pairing, then Edmonton doesn’t have to trade for a second pairing d-man at huge cost, it just needs to bring in a third-pairing guy to help out Ty Emberson and Troy Stecher. Or is the biggest need on the wing, where the group is underperforming significantly compared to last year? Maybe a big, tough and fast third-line winger will turn out to be the biggest need. Such a player won’t come cheap, correct? 3. The best bet for the Oilers? Hey, if there’s a Zadorov deal out there, Edmonton should make that happen. That would certainly scratch an itch. Vancouver took Calgary to the cleaners on that one, giving up just a third and a fifth round pick. Is it just me, or did that trade have “Screw the Oilers!” written all over it, with Calgary buttressing a major divisional rival? I’m 83 per cent sure I’m just being paranoid and Oilers-centric there. But the best bet is to wait and see, build up cap space, see what happens on the injury and performance front, then pounce on a deal that fills that need. Make sense?

NoneJALEN HURTS THREW for two touchdowns and ran for another as Philadelphia outlasted upset-minded Carolina on Sunday while Minnesota routed Atlanta as both 11-2 teams neared an NFL playoff berth. Hurts completed 14-of-21 passes for 108 yards and ran eight times for 59 yards to hold off stubborn Carolina, which fell to 3-10. He scored on a 1-yard plunge early in the second quarter, connected with DeVonta Smith on a 4-yard touchdown pass 14 seconds before half-time for a 14-10 lead. After the Panthers grabbed the lead on Chuba Hubbard’s 1-yard touchdown run in the third quarter, the Eagles answered with 75 seconds elapsed in the fourth quarter on a 4-yard Hurts touchdown pass to Grant Calcaterra and a 2-point conversion run by Saquon Barkley, who ran 20 times for 124 yards. At Minneapolis, Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold completed 22-of-28 passes for 347 yards and five touchdown to power Minnesota over the Atlanta Falcons 42-21. The Vikings spoiled the return of ex-Minnesota quarterback Kirk Cousins, who threw for 344 yards but was intercepted twice. Minnesota needs losses by the Arizona Cardinals to Seattle and the Los Angeles Rams to Buffalo in later games to clinch a playoff berth. The Eagles need only an Arizona loss to secure their spot in the post-season. Later games also include the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs (11-1) entertaining the Los Angeles Chargers (8-4). Tua Tagovailoa threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Jonnu Smith in overtime to give the Miami Dolphins a 32-26 home triumph over the New York Jets.

Baker Mayfield threw for 295 yards and three touchdowns to spark the Tampa Bay Buccaneers over visiting Las Vegas 28-13. Derek Carr threw for 219 yards and a touchdown as the New Orleans Saints edged the host New York Giants 14-11 while Tank Bigsby’s 8-yard touchdown run with 6:46 remaining gave Jacksonville a 10-6 victory at Tennessee.

I'M A Celebrity star GK Barry made a shock confession about her sexuality. She previously ended her relationship with boyfriend Billy Hunt as she embarked on a new romance with girlfriend Ella Rutherford . On the long-running ITV endurance show, the influencer made a surprising revelation about her current preferences. It seems GK Barry now fully embraces the LGBTQ+ part of her identity as she admitted that she could never see herself with another man. The presenter grew close with TV star Reverend Richard Coles, who asked whether she had "airbrushed her life." The Loose Women star enthusiastically engaged with his line of questioning as she replied: "Absolutely. "The thought of sleeping with a man again makes me want to claw my skin off. "And I always thought why do I always lay there with the lights off and top on waiting for it to be over. "[It's] because I like women. It makes a lot of sense, took me 25 years but that's where we are." Richard asked for clarification as he said: "Lights off, top off, waiting to be over?" "Yeah, that was story of my life for a hot minute," she stated back. "I think that's a rather common experience," he jokingly replied back to her. Tonight's episode of I'm A Celebrity saw GK Barry and Reverend Richard Coles grow closer together in camp. Both of the new duo confessed to being each other's favourite campmate, despite Richard's late arrival with Maura Higgins. GK admitted in the Bush Telegraph: “I came into this jungle, maybe not knowing who I would gel with or who I would be close with in here and never in a million years if you told me that I would be getting on best with a reverend would I have believed you.
