, didn’t know where to turn.

The Oilers and Panthers have superstars atop the lineups, but both teams know they got here with depth. Both have had 19 different goal scorers in the playoffs.“That’s what’s been winning us hockey games,” Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl said. “And you need that this time of year. We knew we were going to need everybody. ... Our depth has been incredible.”

The Panthers set the tone for deep runs with grueling training camps, though that’s just one small part of the story. Strength and conditioning is an everyday thing during the season as well, along with constant advising from nutritionists, a sports science department and others tasked with drawing out the best path to peak performance. The Panthers will be up to about 67,000 air miles logged this season — far more than most NHL teams — after the first two games of the Cup final; they tend to stay in cities after games instead of flying home late at night in order to keep some semblance of a normal sleep schedule.“It is before practice, after practice, every day, so that’s kind of the mindset and culture that we build here,” Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad said. “A lot of guys on this team don’t even drink anymore. It isn’t the old NHL where you have beers after games every game. We can’t afford that because we cannot afford to get behind the eight ball at all during the season. That’s where our team is at now.”HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — The Raiders were stretching before practice Thursday when coach Pete Carroll wandered over to quarterback Geno Smith.

As the two chatted for about a minute as Smith continued to go through his stretches, it was a clear reminder of the strong relationship the two built in Seattle — and what that could mean now that they are“I think Coach Carroll is extremely relatable,” Smith said. “I think he understands that guys have got to be themselves in order to be their best selves. He’s a fun person to be around. You see just how positive he always is, he’s always got a bright smile, he’s always laughing, joking around. It’s not him above the team or anyone above the team. It’s everyone together, collectively.”

The Raiders hope the success the two had together with the Seahawks translates to their new home.
