The Miami Heat Today Looked Like A Team No One In The East Wants To Play
The sweepstakes to see who loses the NBA Finals, a.k.a. the East, is looking, in the very early going, like someone other than LeBron James could emerge for the first time since 2010. The Pistons gave No. 1 seed Cleveland all it could handle in the matinee, making 15-of-29 threes and playing the Cav...

Joe Pavelski Muscled The Sharks To A Series Lead
Sucks for those of us on East Coast time, but the three most intriguing first-round playoff series are out West.

The Washington Capitals opened their Stanley Cup Playoffs with a 2-0 win over the Philadelphia Flyers tonight.

The Penguins Have A Random Dude In Goal And The Rangers Might Be Doomed Anyway
Even if he never plays again, there may not be a better feel-good story in these playoffs than Jeff Zatkoff, a third-string goalie thrust into action by injury, who responded with a confident, capable start that, backed by a Patric Hornqvist hat trick, gave the Penguins about as strong a 1-0 series ...
Blues Take Series Lead Over Blackhawks On Fluke Overtime Goal
You take it. It doesn’t matter how lucky or unpretty a goal is, or how little it has to do with the person credited with it, you take the score.

¡Súperman Una Vez Más!

New England Patriots Suffering From BSOD
Microsoft has been on a season-long campaign to make sure you know the tablet computers on NFL sidelines are their Surface models, not iPads. Like most Microsoft products, the Surface tablets are crashing—at least those on the New England sideline. Money well-spent, Microsoft....
ESPN Dumbass Danny Kanell Calls For Broncos To Commit Late Hits On Tom Brady

There Was An Incident With The Footballs And Gauges At Gillette Stadium This Weekend
Almost exactly a year to the day after Patriots equipment personnel “likely” intentionally deflated footballs to make them easier for Tom Brady to grip—at least, that’s according to the NFL’s Wells Report—there was another incident involving footballs and gauges before a Patriots playoff game at Gil...
