19 h. ago Toronto Maple Leafs' biggest star conspicuously absent from practice ahead of huge game

The Toronto Maple Leafs were without their biggest star at Monday morning's practice.Though the Leafs are officially citing "rest" as the reason for his absence, Auston Matthews raised a few eyebrows by sitting out of the team's skate one day ahead of Tuesday’s Game 5 at Scotiabank Arena.Matthews' absence does at least raise a few preliminary questions about whether he's operating at full health, or perhaps dealing with a lingering issue.Given that the Leafs took Sunday off following a 4-3 overtime loss on Saturday to give the Ottawa Senators their first win of the series, it is a bit curious that Matthews needs a rest day.With NHL teams being notoriously tight-lipped about player health status, particularly in the playoffs, we likely won't get a good answer as to what exactly is going on with Toronto's captain.Matthews has one goal and four assists in four games so far for the Leafs.A year removed from a franchise-record settin...

As heads rolled and war spread, Napoleon stood as a crucial part of the French Revolution's victories through Europe and Frances expansion across the continent.By the winter of 1806, having dominated most of Europe, Napoleon set his sights on conquering England — but woul...
