Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:32:03 GMT

SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — It was almost automatic in every game this season for the Toronto Maple Leafs. Either Mitch Marner, William Nylander, Auston Matthews or John Tavares was going to score a goal.That was the case, anyway — until the Eastern Conference semifinals.Three games against the Florida Panthers in this series, and that fearsome foursome has been blanked so far. After scoring at least once in 81 of Toronto’s 88 games this season entering this series, Marner, Nylander, Matthews and Tavares have combined for exactly zero goals so far in their matchup with the Panthers.“Bobrovsky,” Panthers coach Paul Maurice said, offering the simplest and most accurate explanation. “That would be the end of that answer.”That would be Panthers goalie Sergei Bobrovsky, who has stopped everything they’ve thrown at him. Matthews has gotten 14 shots at Bobrovsky in the first three games. So has Nylander. Tavares has gotten 12 to the net. Marner has taken nine.That’s 49 shots on goal in all — and ...

Consumers shopping for a used vehicle can probably save a little money buying a vehicle with previously repaired minor damage, compared to the same vehicle without any past damage.A vehicle history report will show any and all recorded collisions and repairs. Most buyers check vehicle history reports before buying. Dealers know you know, and they price those vehicles accordingly.“Amongst car shoppers, damage to the vehicle is, right after price, their No. 1 concern. So they know it is a concern for buyers, so they are willing to discount by a certain amount because they know shoppers will cast a skeptical eye on it,” said Patrick Olsen, editor-in-chief at Carfax.Carfax history reports are free and available instantly online.It is key to note these are vehicles with minor damage that has been properly and professionally repaired. And the savings is not all that much.“It is typically for minor damage in the hundreds of dollars. But I will say in a market where used v...
