Consistently winning hockey games as captain Auston Matthews recovers from an upper-body injury. True, it’s just the quarter-mark of the 2024-25 National Hockey League regular season and the majority of hockey has yet to be played, but there can’t be much debating the kind of impact that new coach Craig Berube has had on the Leafs through the club’s first 20 games. Back in May when the Leafs fired coach Sheldon Keefe, part of the reasoning on the part of general manager Brad Treliving was that the team brass “determined that a new voice” was needed behind the bench. Keefe did some great things during his Leafs tenure, guiding the club annually to 100-point seasons, but Berube was hired to push the team through in the playoffs. With a defence-first approach and attention to physical detail, the Leafs are going about being successful in a new manner, proof that what Berube wants out of his players has been translating on the ice. “As players, we feel it, and I think you can tell by watching that it’s a different kind of game than what we’ve played in the past,” defenceman Morgan Rielly said. “It has been a bit of an adjustment, but it has been good. I think we’re doing all right.” The Leafs record of 12-6-2, which has them one point ahead of the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers in the Atlantic Division, underlines that. The Leafs have been solid without Matthews, winning six of the past seven games he has missed, but there’s a little more to it than bearing down with the captain on the sideline. Defensively, the Leafs have pulled up their hockey socks. Not only have they cut down on goals against at five-on-five (allowing 28, tied for third-fewest in the NHL heading into Friday’s games), they’re not giving up many Grade-A chances. At five-on-five, the Leafs were tied for allowing the third-fewest high-danger scoring chances. Berube stresses with his players the importance of defending the “guts” of the ice in the D zone and the systemic differences have, well, made a difference. The low forward has become more of a partner with the defence pair and can switch out more easily. On the whole, five-man units are more connected. “There’s a learning curve,” Rielly said. “The chances we’re giving up are less. It’s a commitment to the structure and understanding the importance of it.” Offensively, bushels of goals haven’t been required for the Leafs to win games, as they have scored more than four in just three games. No one in the organization is losing sleep over that. “We’re working towards something, but on the way, the product is good,” Rielly said. “It’s not perfect, we’ve had guys out, we haven’t executed perfect every night, but we’re putting ourselves in a position where that’s OK. “You’re in that position where you’re within striking range, and you will keep yourself there, if you’re close to the structure.” Berube has said a few times that it was crucial that the players bought in from the first day of training camp in September. Hiccups along the way can be expected, as Rielly mentioned, especially when the team continues to put up points more often than not. And no one in the Leafs dressing room needs to be reminded that true judgement won’t come until the Stanley Cup playoffs. Still, the pieces being put in place now bring optimism. “There’s nothing to rest on or feel great about,” centre John Tavares said. “We’re happy with the results we’re getting and with a lot of things that we’re doing, but it’s continuously trying to get better, everyone being on the same page, buying in and knowing every night’s a new challenge, and it’s a long year, so we have to keep grinding it out. “You would hope you’re 20-0. That’s the goal, to go out and win every game. You work and push forward. Over 82 games, you want to put yourself in the best spot possible, earn a playoff spot and the highest positioning you can.” Berube wouldn’t have it any other way. tkoshan@postmedia.com X: @koshtorontosun

Islamabad: Pakistan on Saturday closed down highways towards the national capital, partially suspended internet and mobile services, halted public transport, blocked important roads here with containers and deployed heavy security as jailed former prime minister Imran Khan’s party seemed adamant about its protest march on Sunday. Ignoring calls by the government to postpone the protest – the second one in as many months – Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) declared to go ahead with its planned march to Islamabad coinciding with the arrival of a large Belarusian delegation even as the authorities issued a warning of a potential threat during the protest. The PTI gave a call last week for a long march to Islamabad to press for three demands: the release of the incarcerated party founder and other leaders, against the alleged “stolen mandate” during February 8 elections and restoration of the judiciary by revoking the recent 26th amendment to the Constitution that granted legislators more power in appointing top judges. Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi earlier on Saturday informed PTI chairman Gohar Ali Khan that the government would not allow any sit-ins or rallies in Islamabad due to security concerns during the official visit of the high-ranking Belarusian delegation. Led by President Alexander Lukashenko, the 80-member Belarusian delegation is scheduled to visit Islamabad from November 24 to 27. Radio Pakistan reported that Naqvi and Gohar held a detailed discussion about the current situation. The interior minister also informed the PTI leader about the Islamabad High Court order to maintain peace during the visit of the foreign delegation. Gohar said he will inform the Interior Minister about the final response after party consultation, a Radio Pakistan report said. However, in a video shared by PTI’s official X account regarding Sunday’s protest march, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur said the protest would go ahead and “we all have to reach D Chowk on November 24 and not move from there until our demands are met.” “No matter how many obstacles are there, you have to reach D Chowk in any case,” he can be heard telling the party workers. Meanwhile, the National Counter Terrorism Authority (NACTA) issued a security alert, warning of a potential terrorist threat during the PTI protest in Islamabad, Express News TV reported. The Authority warned that a terrorist attack could target PTI’s public gathering, particularly citing a threat from a group of militants who crossed into Pakistan from Afghanistan on the night between November 19 and 20. The National Motorway and Highways Authority, citing repair work, announced the closure of key routes, including the two main roads connecting Peshawar and Lahore to Islamabad. Peshawar is the capital of the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province, which is ruled by Khan’s PTI while Lahore is the capital of Punjab province, which has been a traditional bastion of Khan. These are the critical routes often used by protesters heading to the capital, as was also done during the October protest by PTI workers and supporters. The federal government has summoned paramilitary Rangers and Frontier Corps (FC) personnel to assist police in maintaining order in the capital and to bolster security while in a further security measure, the federal administration evacuated all student hostels in the city on Friday. Section 144 – which prohibits gatherings of individuals – has been in effect in Islamabad since November 18. On the other hand, the Punjab government too has enforced Section 144 across the province from November 23 to November 25, banning protests, public gatherings, rallies, and sit-ins. Despite the heightened security and restrictions, the PTI has remained persistent about proceeding with its protest march and subsequent sit-in to press for its demands. Authorities in Islamabad have sealed off routes to the Red Zone – which houses the country’s executive, judicial and legislative authorities – and deployed Rangers at key government buildings. Multiple roads, including Srinagar Highway, GT Road, and routes to Islamabad Airport, were blocked with containers, and heavy security forces, including police and FC, have been stationed around D-Chowk, the proposed venue for gathering of PTI’s marchers. Additionally, internet and mobile services have been partially suspended in Islamabad, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Punjab as a precaution. Public transport, including metro bus services in Islamabad and Rawalpindi, has been halted, and all bus terminals at Faizabad, linking the twin cities, have been barricaded. Khan, 72, has been implicated in dozens of cases since his government was dismissed through a no-confidence motion in 2022. He has been in Adiala Jail at Rawalpindi since last year facing, according to his party, over 200 cases; got bail in some of them, convicted in some others, and hearings going on for some more. Khan’s party won the largest number of seats in the February general elections despite contesting as independents as the party was denied an election symbol and the PTI chief has already alleged that the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and its coalition partners, including Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) had “stolen the mandate” to grab power at the federal level. Relations between the PTI and the PML-N-led coalition government -already tense since Khan’s ouster in 2022 – have strained even more in recent times.Rainham man jailed over drugs found in car after number plate recognition alertThe 2024 NFL season is in the home stretch, and there is a clear frontrunner for the league's MVP winner . Week 17 kicks off on Christmas Day and is the start of a stretch that will have football over the course of five days. With only two weeks left in the regular season, MVP candidates only have a couple more games to prove why they are the best player in the NFL, while also trying to get their team ready for a Super Bowl run – even if one player seems to have the award already in his hand. Here's how the latest NFL MVP odds look, as of Tuesday, Dec. 24, courtesy of BetMGM . NFL MVP odds entering Week 17 1. QB Josh Allen , Buffalo Bills (-500) The Bills quarterback is coming off one of his worst games of the season in the win over the Patriots, but remains a heavy favorite to win his first MVP award. In the 24-21 win , Allen went 16-for-29 for 154 yards with one touchdown and one interception, as well as six rushes for 30 yards. He had a passer rating of 67.3, his lowest since Week 10. NFL STATS CENTRAL: The latest NFL scores, schedules, odds, stats and more. Next for Allen is a visit from the Jets, who have the fifth-best passing defense in the league. 2. QB Lamar Jackson , Baltimore Ravens (+350) The reigning MVP still has a shot of being a three-time award winner following a nice pair of games in recent weeks. Last week in the win over the Steelers , Jackson went 15-for-23 for 207 yards with three touchdowns and one interception. He also had nine rushes for 22 yards. In the past two weeks, he has thrown eight touchdowns to just one interception. In his next outing, Jackson will play a Texans team that is one of the better units at stopping the pass. 3. RB Saquon Barkley , Philadelphia Eagles (+1400) Even in a loss, Barkley continues to run all over defenders as he closes in on a 2,000-yard season. Against the Commanders , Barkley ran the ball 29 times for 150 yards and two touchdowns, the 10th time he has eclipsed the century mark this season. The Eagles running back should like his chances for another big day in Week 17, when he faces a Cowboys team that is among the worst rushing defenses in the league. 4. QB Jared Goff , Detroit Lions (+2500) The signal-caller for the NFC leader had another big day last week against the Bears with 336 passing yards and three touchdowns. It was the fifth time he has thrown for at least 300 yards in a game. Goff will be back on "Monday Night Football" against the 49ers, which continue to have a solid passing defense despite all of their struggles this season. T-5. QB Patrick Mahomes , Kansas City Chiefs (+10000) Part of the tie for fifth place is the two-time MVP and three-time Super Bowl MVP. After suffering an injury the week prior, Mahomes went 28-for-41 for 260 yards and one touchdown, as well as five carries for 33 yards and a touchdown against the Texans . In the past three weeks, he has not turned the ball over. Leading the No. 1 seed in the AFC, Mahomes will next play against the stout Steelers on Christmas Day. T-5. QB Sam Darnold , Minnesota Vikings (+10000) Leading one of the biggest surprises of the season is Vikings QB Sam Darnold. In the win over the Seahawks , he went 22-for-35 for 246 yards and three touchdowns, making it 10-straight games with at least 200 passing yards. Darnold will next face a hot Packers team coming off a shutout of the Saints. However, Darnold played well against them earlier this season with a 275-yard performance with three touchdowns and an interception at Lambeau Field in September.
