The Lightning, Maple Leafs and Bruins emerged as elite contenders and formed one of the most hotly-contested and top-heavy divisions in hockey.

John Tavares’ Toronto homecoming adds to the intrigue and could elevate the Maple Leafs to their first division title this millennium....

Both midfielders have struggled to make an impact at the Wanda Metropolitana this season, with Gaitan in particular largely overlooked by coach and compatriot Diego Simeone. Neither of the players took part in Atletico’s last outing, a 5-2 thrashing of Sevilla that keeps the Colchoneros in second place behind Barcelona in La Liga. And after strong interest from Daliam Yifang, the decision was taken by Atletico to release the pair to the Chinese club, for an undisclosed fee....

‘Crown Jewel’ thoughts Disclaimer: I did not watch the show. It was my way of protesting WWE’s decision to stage the event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia despite the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul last month. My comments on the show are solely about the booking decisions, not the quality of the in-ring action.

Miscellaneous thought Am I the only one who … … believes Vince McMahon has truly lost it if he thinks starting a football league (again) is a good idea? When I first saw the headline about McMahon doing a reboot of the XFL I thought for sure it came from kayfabenews.com, but apparently the WWE Chairman and CEO really is serious about getting back into the football business — although that doesn’t necessarily mean the return of the XFL, which even he has referred to as a “colossal failure....
