LAS VEGAS -- Nine months after Robin Lehner publicly revealed his battle with bipolar disorder and substance abuse, the New York Islanders goalie won the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy, awarded to the NHL player who "best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey."

"I took that first step and it's been life changing for me," Lehner said in his acceptance speech at the NHL Awards show at Mandalay Bay on Wednesday. "Got to keep pushing, end the stigma. I'm not ashamed to say I'm mentally ill, but that doesn't mean I'm mentally weak."

Later, Lehner told reporters it was "pretty tough" to address the crowd and he was "fighting back tears."

"Now I'm diagnosed and medicated and I've learned a tremendous amount with how to deal with my issues," Lehner said. "I still have a lot to learn, but it's incredibly manageable and that's why a lot of people need to take that first step."

In September, the 27-year-old Lehner penned a first-person essay for the The Athletic that detailed an in-game panic attack he had while with the Buffalo Sabres last season. The Sabres sent Lehner home after his panic attack during an intermission of a March 29, 2018 game against the Detroit Red Wings. On the way home that night, Lehner said he stopped to buy beer and after a night of drinking, he told his wife, "I have to go away."

Lehner would never play another game for the Sabres. However, the episode led Lehner to seek treatment. He went to rehab where he says he was treated for addictions to alcohol and drugs and diagnosed as bipolar and ADHD with PTSD and trauma as well as having manic phases.

Lehner signed a one-year, $1.5 million deal with the Islanders in free agency after he was candid with the front office about what he was dealing with. Lehner and the Islanders then smashed their modest expectations this season. Lehner finished the season 25-13-5, with a 2.13 GAA, .930 save percentage and six shutouts as the Islanders, surprisingly, had the league's best defense and qualified for the playoffs -- then swept the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round. Barry Trotz won the Jack Adams Award on Wednesday for Coach of the Year.

Lehner was a finalist for the Vezina Trophy and was recognized with teammate Thomas Greiss for the William M. Jennings Trophy for being the tandem that allowed the fewest goals in the NHL this season.

Lehner credits his support system -- which includes Islanders teammates, coaches and management, as well as his doctors -- with helping him stay on track.

Entrance into the NHL/NHLPA's Substance Abuse and Behavioral Health Program is kept confidential, though Lehner said there were benefits for him disclosing his participation. For example, Lehner said he recently had dinner with some of the doctors who treated him and they said other players have come forward, thanks to him.

"Obviously they don't tell me names or anything, but they've said a lot of people have reached out to them to start getting help," Lehner said. "Me being outspoken, and if that's just one person, then it's worth it."

Lehner admitted there were risks to being so frank about his condition -- especially financially, as it could affect negotiations or contracts going forward. It's why he believes many players have typically been hesitant to admit they need help.

"We as players in this league, GMs, whoever it might be, there needs to be some change to open it up," Lehner said. "Why it's been so successful for me this year, is because I was open with it. I think the program for the first time was able to work together with the team, it was a good collaboration. ... For a majority of people, they're not going to be open about it to the team. So the team part is going to be not involved because as soon as that comes to light, it's going to affect your financial future, it's going to affect negotiations, contract, or whatever it might be. It's going to turn into a risk."

Lehner, however, said the past year has been a highlight of his career.

"I've had such an incredible outpour of support," Lehner said. "There's been so many people who have contacted me, tried to contact me, who I haven't been able to get to yet. They're scared of taking that first step, scared of doing the things that are necessary to turn their lives around. ... Reaching them, that's incredibly rewarding."

Mexico substitute Andres Guardado netted twice in the second half to secure a 3-1 victory for El Tri against Canada in the second round of games in Group A of the Gold Cup.

Roberto Alvarado had opened the scoring at Broncos Stadium in Denver five minutes before half-time, with Lucas Cavallini netting for Canada in the 75th minute, two minutes before Guardado made it 3-1.

Canada put up stern resistance for much of the game in a far tougher test for El Tri than last Saturday's 7-0 win over Cuba in Los Angeles.

The result means Mexico is qualified for the quarterfinals of the tournament, unless there is a bizarre set of result in the final match day in Charlotte on Sunday, when Canada plays Cuba and Mexico faces Martinique.

Alvarado's goal came when it looked like Mexico was getting frustrated, as highlighted by a heated argument between Mexico's Gerardo "Tata" Martino and Canada coach John Herdman on the sidelines.

"He made a joke and I just answered, I'm not sure what it was because it was in English," Martino quipped after the match.

Herdman also downplayed the back-and-forth as a simple misunderstanding.

"He is a great coach," Herdman said of Martino. "I don't speak Spanish. I think he was asking how my new role was going. Said, 'Yeah, it's going well.' I asked him if he's enjoying his role."

The victory, in front of 52,874 fans, gives Martino six wins from his six games in charge of Mexico so far.

Mexico had 72 percent possession in the first half, but was largely restricted by Canada to a couple of chances, with Jonathan dos Santos going closest with a volley in the 29th.

The first half was slightly marred for Mexico with an injury to Erick Gutierrez, who was replaced by Guardado in the 36th.

Guardado's influence quickly showed itself and the Mexico captain added El Tri's second from 25 yards in the 54th with a memorable goal, although one minute earlier Canadian teenager Alphonso Davies pounced on a loose ball and got past Diego Reyes inside the area, but could only shoot wide.

Canada continued to put up a fight and got back into the game when Cavallini tapped in, after a mistake from Nestor Araujo allowed Jonathan David to charge through on goal and pass square to the Puebla striker.

But Mexico responded immediately through Guardado, with LA Galaxy right-winger Uriel Antuna setting him up after a mazy run down the flank.

Mexico travels to Charlotte on Thursday ahead of Sunday's game against Martinique.

Earlier Wednesday, Martinique defeated Cuba 3-0 to remain in contention for a place in the quarterfinal.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been given just £100 million to strengthen his Manchester United squad this summer, with further spending likely to be dependent on money raised by player sales, sources have told ESPN FC.

Despite United suffering one of their worst seasons since the inception of the Premier League in 1992, further investment in the squad hinges on the futures of Paul Pogba, Romelu Lukaku and David De Gea, who have all been linked with moves away from Old Trafford this summer.

If United are able to retain all three players -- Pogba and De Gea, in particular -- there is a view within the club that the recruitment of emerging talent ahead of next season can make Solskjaer's team competitive for a top four finish.

But having seen Ander Herrera and Antonio Valencia leave as free agents at the end of last season, five months after the £10.5m sale of Marouane Fellaini to Shandong Luneng, Solskjaer has been told that his initial rebuilding plans must be financed by the £100m transfer fund.

Solskjaer, who was confirmed as full-time manager in March after initially replacing the sacked Jose Mourinho on a caretaker basis last December, has so far added just one signing in Swansea City winger Daniel James to his squad since the end of last season, when United finished sixth and without a trophy for the second successive campaign.

United, who have recently given new contracts to Ashley Young, Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and Juan Mata, are also pursuing Leicester and England centre-back Harry Maguire, Newcastle United midfielder Sean Longstaff and Crystal Palace defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

But with the club's players due to report back for preseason training on July 1, only £15m has been spent so far.

Sources have told ESPN FC that moves for Maguire and Wan-Bissaka have so far failed to achieve a breakthrough due to United offering substantially less than the valuations of Leicester and Palace respectively.

Should Pogba, De Gea or Lukaku be sold, sources have told ESPN FC Solskjaer and his backroom staff would expect to be given the proceeds to reinvest in the squad.

But interest in Borussia Dortmund forward Jadon Sancho has already been shelved due to the German club's £80m-plus valuation of the England player, while Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly is also regarded as being over-priced, with the Italian club seeking at least £90m.

No plan survives first contact with the opposition. Argentina's pulsating 1-1 draw with Paraguay on Wednesday was a battle between two sides who had run headlong into this problem in their opening matches.

Argentina's caretaker coach Lionel Scaloni was full of bold talk when he was appointed last August.

"I've always liked more direct, vertical football," Scaloni said then. "Winning the ball to arrive at the opposing goal as quickly as possible."

And so he went about building his side with two wingers and quick transitions to the flanks, the ball played rapidly into space. Then Lionel Messi returned from his international hiatus and, of course, wanted the ball played to his feet. Argentina's debut match, a 2-0 defeat to Colombia, was marked by enormous confusion. The half-time substitution of left winger Angel Di Maria by the entirely right-footed Rodrigo De Paul was the moment that Scaloni's initial idea bit the dust. And so, searching in the dark for something new, something coherent, he changed the formation against Paraguay to something like a 4-4-2.

Paraguay coach Eduardo Berizzo, meanwhile, also announced his own revolution on his appointment in February.

"I'm always thinking of how to dominate the game," said the ex-assistant of the king of the high press Marcelo Bielsa. "I don't want to be dominated, sit back and try to scrape results."

But the historic identity of Paraguay is exactly that -- a team who over the years have revelled in deep defence. Berizzo's first attempt to play higher up the pitch in a competitive match was not a conspicuous success. On Sunday, they were flattered by the 2-0 lead they opened up against Qatar, and may even have been flattered by the final scoreline of 2-2. If Qatar stretched them out and played through them, what would Argentina and Messi do?

Berizzo chose not to run the risk. It was back to basics in Belo Horizonte for Paraguay. The order of the evening was deep defence and counter-attack.

This had pros and cons. The big pro for Paraguay is that, in a low-scoring game like football, defending is the easier part. Two teams were trying to improvise a solution, and it was more comfortable for Paraguay to destroy than it was for Argentina to construct. The other pro, specific for this game, is the lack of pace in the Argentina back line -- a problem that has dogged La Albiceleste for years.

In the break he made to set up the Paraguay goal, Miguel Almiron was faster running with the ball than the rival defenders were running without it. Paraguay should have won the game when they exposed this flaw a second time. Caught on the wrong side, Nicolas Otamendi committed a desperate foul in the area, only for Derlis Gonzalez to waste the penalty with a weak shot, pushed around the post by Franco Armani.

By this time, Argentina had drawn level from the spot -- a moment that illustrated the risks of the Paraguayan approach. Argentina lacked organisation, but defending deep can always run into the problem of conceding set pieces close to goal -- a risk much heightened by the appearance in the game of the video assistant referee.

The decision to penalise Ivan Piris for a hand ball in the box is controversial. It did not look clear even after studying the video evidence. Without VAR, the supposed offence would have gone unnoticed and Argentina would have been happy to go ahead with the corner that Messi was about to take when the referee held his arm aloft and began the long conversation with his colleagues.

Perhaps Argentina got lucky. But they had to change once more to earn their luck. Scaloni's experiment with Roberto Pereyra as a central midfielder was a clear and predictable failure, abandoned at half-time. On came Sergio Aguero, giving more options closer to goal, and Aguero was key to the move where Argentina won their penalty.

With Aguero up front, De Paul on the right of the midfield trio and Giovani Lo Celso on the left, the balance was a little better. Space started to open up for Messi to run at the Paraguay defence, and Argentina are still alive in the competition.

In a World Cup, one point from two games would be a disaster. The Copa America is more lenient. Two of the third-placed teams go through to the quarterfinals. In the history of the 12-team Copa, four points has always been enough to make it through, so a win against Qatar on Sunday should be enough for Argentina.

Scaloni, then, has a few days to sit down with his players and come up with the game plan that will not crumble on first contact with the Asian champions.

Nicole Bolton will depart for the Ashes in good spirits after over-coming a first-ball duck with a half-century in Australia's final warm-up match before leaving for England.

Bolton took a break from the game midway through last season's WBBL but returned to the fold when the squad for the Ashes tour was announced.

The Australian squad prepared for the trip with a training camp in Brisbane which included two games against Australia A who will tour England concurrently with the main side. Bolton, who was opening the batting, bagged a first-ball duck in the first of the matches but responded with 72 off 64 balls in the second.

"I felt a lot better than the other day," Bolton said. "I got a first-baller so I was pretty keen to take the first ball of our innings and get through the first one today. It was really nice to get out there and spend a bit of time in the middle.

"I think I was having an internal battle after the first game; we had optional training on the Tuesday and I'd already opted myself out of it, so when I made a first-baller I was like, 'maybe I do need a hit'.

"But I backed myself in today and I'm just really pleased with that different approach, being a bit more positive and relaxed. It was nice to get some runs and spent some time out there."

The multi-format Ashes begins with the one-day series, followed by the one-off Test before concluding with three T20Is. Bolton, a player predominately used in the longer formats, only has two T20Is under her belt but has experience of two Ashes Tests in 2015 and 2017 alongside 47 ODIs where she averages an impressive 43.93 and has scored four hundreds.

However, she knows there is no certainty that she will slot back into the side with a logjam for the top-order batting positions between her Rachael Haynes, Alyssa Healy, Meg Lanning, Ellyse Perry, Beth Mooney and Elyse Villani.

"The thing with our line-up is we have batters who are in tremendous form and they can adjust to every format so it's a really hard line-up to crack," she said. "I know I've got to bide my time, all I can do his train really hard, put runs on the board and make sure my fielding is up to scratch. It's a tough line-up to get into at the moment, but you want competition."

Baker Mayfield might be a rising star for the Cleveland Browns in the NFL, but he will never leave the Red River Rivalry behind him.

Mayfield, who won the 2017 Heisman Trophy while at Oklahoma, was ready to trash-talk Texas and Longhorns quarterback Sam Ehlinger in an appearance Wednesday on Sportstalk 1400 in Norman, Oklahoma.

Mayfield was asked about the perception in preseason publications that Texas is back and could contend for a national championship.

"They said the same thing when they beat Notre Dame a couple of years ago, and they won like three games after that," Mayfield said. "I'm sick of that crap."

Mayfield came down especially hard on Ehlinger, who was, like Mayfield, a high school star around Austin, Texas -- Mayfield at Lake Travis, Ehlinger at Westlake.

"He couldn't beat Lake Travis, so I don't really care [about] his opinion on winning," Mayfield said. "Westlake is a great program, but the two best quarterbacks to come out of there are Drew Brees and Nick Foles. Sam can stay down there in Texas."

"That will stir the pot," Mayfield added. "He doesn't like me, and I hope he knows I don't like him either."

Mayfield and Ehlinger have a history. When Oklahoma left tackle Orlando Brown struggled to one of the worst performances ever at the NFL combine in 2018, Ehlinger took to social media to make fun of him.

Mayfield's response then: "He's never beat Lake Travis, and he also hasn't beat OU, so leave it at that."

The Longhorns and the Sooners will meet for the Red River Showdown at Texas on Oct. 12.

The Milwaukee Bucks are trading guard Tony Snell and the 30th pick in Thursday's NBA draft to the Detroit Pistons for forward Jon Leuer, league sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The Pistons now have the 15th and 30th picks in the draft. Milwaukee saves $4 million in salary this year, and remove Snell's $12 million salary hit in 2020-21.

Snell has spent the past three seasons with Milwaukee, playing in 74 games (12 starts) last year. He averaged 6.0 points and 2.1 rebounds for the Bucks in 2018-19.

Leuer played in 41 games for the Pistons last year (one start), averaging 3.8 points and 2.4 rebounds. He's entering his ninth season in the NBA.
