But it’s a question that probably will go unanswered for quite some time now. On Wednesday, the Edmonton Oilers signed Draisaitl, a restricted free agent, to an eight-year, $68 million deal. It was a max-term extension, matching the eight-year deal Edmonton gave McDavid earlier this summer. MORE: 2018 Stanley Cup Odds: McDavid, Oilers gaining ground on Crosby, Penguins In the NHL, production speaks the loudest at the negotiating table. Draisaitl is coming off a career year, establishing new highs in goals (29), assists (48) and points (77)....

My 10- and 12-year-old sons are immersed in this sea of dissonance, hearing about a terrible new war and worried that they will have to fight it. At their Roman Catholic school in Chicago, they join their classmates in heartfelt prayers for peace. Then they come home to watch President George W. Bush explain the need to drop bombs on Taliban targets. Squaring entreaties to God with the horrors of warfare is a treacherous minefield for parents: this sounds suspiciously like the same fanatical rationale that religious extremists cheerfully embrace....

Put it this way: in Hollywood the only difference between summer and the rest of the year is that in summer, when we drive with the car top down, we also have the air conditioner on. For real people (defined as “those who do not work in or around the 310 telephone area code”), the ideal of summer is like fun itself. It’s hard-wired into their brains the moment they have their first Sno-Cone, or hear their first ice-cream truck, or smell the distinct scent of chlorine, Coppertone and hamburger....

The Blaugrana thrashed Valladolid 5-1 on Tuesday to remain one point clear of Real Madrid and two ahead of Atletico Madrid and Granada. With last week’s El Clasico against Real Madrid postponed because of political tension in Catalonia, Barcelona had 10 days to prepare for the visit of Valladolid and were never in any danger. Kiko Olivas cancelled out Clement Lenglet’s early opener, before Lionel Messi took control of the game....

Neeson said, “I’ve been approached by Seth MacFarlane and Paramount Studios to maybe resurrect The Naked Gun films,” and joked, “It’ll either finish my career or bring it in another direction. I honestly don’t know.” The actor previously collaborated with MacFarlane on A Million Ways to Die in the West, in which he played the bad guy, and Ted 2, in which he cameoed as a grocery store customer who was gravely concerned about being followed home after buying a box of Trix....

Freedom Celebration in Freedom Square In the area around the regional administration building, the blue-and-yellow Ukrainian flag was omnipresent — fluttering in the breeze, stenciled onto the exterior of buildings, or worn as a cape by citizens simply walking the street. Only four days prior, the Russian tricolor still dominated this space. Now Kherson residents are confident that it will never return. Russian Billboards Still Proclaim Kherson is Russian ‘Forever’ Less than two months ago, after a “referendum” that featured armed men forcing residents to participate at gunpoint, Russia declared that Kherson would be under the Kremlin’s control “forever....

Life Is Strange Episode 4: Dark Room takes its title literally—it’s dark in every conceivable sense. While it might still have its broody indie-rock soundtrack and (somewhat) hip teen slang, it’s a decidedly adult story that’s more disturbing than Max’s chipper attitude might let on. Featuring more diverting paths than previous episodes and a chilling, hard to swallow storyline, Life Is Strange Episode 4 shows that DONTNOD is committed to exploring the potential disturbing darkness of teen life, even if they sometimes stumble into melodrama....

This weekend saw separation take place. Outside of Monterrey’s surprising defeat (point four), top teams were able to get results while teams that probably don’t belong in the playoffs found themselves out of contention. That even includes Tijuana, which won but has a very difficult path ahead. We’ll begin with the Clasico Tapatio, then look around the rest of the league as the playoff picture becomes much clearer headed into the international break:...

The Gomez ad took aim at corner outfielders being voted to the Midsummer Classic, promoting Milwaukee’s five-tool talent as the right man for a trip to Minnesota because he plays center field. Fair game. Lucroy’s spot took direct aim at a division rival. “Yadier Molina is a great catcher,” the ad begins. “But did you know he plays for the St. Louis Cardinals? That’s right, the St. Louis Cardinals. Do you want another St....

Unlike the previous outings, which followed toys exclusively, Lightyear is the movie that the action figure that Buzz was based off of. In essence, Lightyear is a movie within a movie, as toy Buzz‘s human owner, Andy, went to see this flick in his childhood years. From this, it’s clear that Lightyear has an abundance of references and connections to the broader Toy Story franchise, but these are ultimately not enough to compensate for a weak story and a lack of a concrete reason for its mere existence....
