  Ce lundi 1er mai 2023 est, comme tous les 1er mai depuis 1948, un   jour férié . Il s’agit en effet de la Fête du   Travail . En   France , elle se confond avec la journée internationale des travailleurs. Mais contrairement à ce que l’on pourrait penser, l’origine de cette fête n’est pas française, mais américaine, et remonte au 1er mai 1884,   comme l’indique le ministère du Travail, du Plein Emploi et de l’Insertion .

Kailer Yamamoto scored with 3:02 remaining for his first point of the series as the Oilers beat the  Los Angeles Kings  5-4 in Game 6 to advance to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. In a series dominated by superstars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, it was the Oilers' fourth line that played a pivotal role. Besides Yamamoto, Klim Kostin had two goals and an assist. It didn’t go in the net early in the series but he stuck with it. He stuck with it and eventually ended up scoring the series winner,” Oilers coach Jay Woodcroft said. Yamamoto — who lived in Los Angeles for three years and played youth hockey for the Jr. Kings — got possession of the puck deep in the offensive zone, skated around and then sent a wrist shot through traffic and past the right shoulder and stick of Kings goaltender Joonas Korpisalo. “Being in this position it's prett...
