You Can Fit A Stanley Cup Through Corey Crawford's Glove Side

Blackhawks Beat Bruins In Overtime, 6-5, To Tie The Series
That was fun, wasn't it? After this series's first three games only yielded 12 total goals, both teams went off tonight for 11 combined goals. The game was tied 5-5 at the end of regulation, but midway through overtime, Blackhawks defenseman Brent Seabrook slapped a wicked shot low past Bruins goal...

Pixar Inches Back On Track: <em>Monsters University</em>, Reviewed.
Monsters University isn't amazing. Yet it is bright, shiny, amusing, and charming, and after the disappointing Cars 2 and Brave, it's a relief to leave a Pixar movie feeling properly entertained. It wasn't always that way; the animation studio once delivered gems on a consistent basis. But Pixar spo...
The Padres' Will Venable Made One Of The Best Catches Of The Season
Bear with our hyperbole on this one. Because there was what Will Venable did—sprinting back toward the wall and laying out to make a backhanded catch over his head, à la Jim Edmonds—and there was the situation in which he did it....
The Bruins Are Looking Impenetrable Again
After a 2-0 win—a merciful regulation win—Boston finds itself halfway to a Stanley Cup, so it's not too early to start thinking Conn Smythe. That talk begins and ends with the man in net, but that's only because MVP can't be a team award....
On First Pitches As A Cub, Henry Rodriguez Hit Ump And Carlos Beltran
The Washington Nationals recently traded Henry Rodriguez to the Cubs because he was not developing in the way they thought he would. Specifically, he struggled with control issues. His trade value was limited due to "bouts of wildness." He had a power arm, but often had no idea where his pitches w...
Tuukka Rask Shuts Out Chicago Despite "Shitty" Ice; Bruins Lead 2-1
Game 3 actually ended in regulation, a nice change of pace from the first two games, but not before a short scuffle with about 11 seconds left. It looked like it was going to get really ugly for a second, but the refs quickly got control of the action and the game ended without (much) incident. Unl...
Let Leo Pitch! Cubs Tempt Fate By Dissing Their Oldest Fan
Leo Hildebrand wants to throw out the first pitch at a Chicago Cubs game. And being that he's 104 years old, making him one of the few things alive that have actually seen a Cubs World Series title — the giant redwood and a certain species of desert tortoise are the others — you would think he'd be ...
ESPN On Five-Minute Tiger Interview: "More Important For Us To Have No Restrictions"
ESPN decided that a short, tape-delayed interview with Tiger Woods near his mansion columns was better than no interview — and Lightning Round Tom Rinaldi was the first and obvious choice to conduct the interview, the WWL said....

Justin Rose Wins The U.S. Open
Justin Rose won the U.S. Open, but since Phil Mickelson came in second (again) it'll play like Phil lost it. But Justin Rose (basically) kept it together while everyone else fell apart and deserves some credit for succeeding where they all failed. He shot even on the day when most of his competition...
Cubs Score On Consecutive Mets Throwing Errors, Still Lose
We pick up the action in the fifth inning with "...David Wright, who's won two gold gloves—not a good throw, though!..." and it only got better....
Phil Mickelson Eagled 10 To (Momentarily) Regain The Lead At U.S. Open
It's felt like the entire field has crumpled at the same time during the final round of the U.S. Open today at Merion. Luke Donald went from hitting out of the water to hitting out of the sand. Rory McIlroy broke a club and while it looked like perpetual sad-sack Jason Dufner was going to make a pu...
