The Canadiens' chances of reaching their first Cup final since 1993 has suffered a major blow, after coach Michel Therrien announced that goalie Carey Price will miss at least the rest of the series with an injury suffered in a Game 1 collision with the Rangers' Chris Kreider.

Nets Sell T-Shirts With Andrei Kirilenko Looking Like Martha Stewart
The Nets are selling some pretty interesting shirts at Barclays Center for Game 4 against Miami tonight. As you can see, the shirts have illustrated faces representing the big names and head coach for both teams, and they are a little rough. I mean, Paul Pierce looks like Voldemort and KG (??) looks...
The Irrepressible Wild Take An All-Time Great Game 7
The Minnesota Wild's frenetic overtime victory was, in some ways, the antithesis of what's supposed to make a Game 7 so remarkable. You think of a Game 7 and you think of the tension. The buttclenching fear that one turnover, one save, one play is going to decide the series. And that suffocating pr...
Nino Niederreiter Is The Hero In A Game 7 Overtime Win For The Wild

Chicago White Sox announcer Hawk Harrelson turned up on Chris "Mad Dog" Russo's MLB Network show High Heat yesterday, and things went pretty much exactly as you'd expect, with lots of talk about Carl Yastrzemski, Tony La Russa, and this year's purportedly dangerous White Sox squad. There was also th...

Bill O'Reilly Questions John Calipari On "Hip-Hop, Rap Stuff, Hustlers"

Andre Iguodala Ruins Quincy Miller's Life With Incredible Crossover
This is just mean. Poor Quincy Miller thought he was playing smart, heads-up basketball by pressuring the ball-handler, and then Andre Iguodala just goes ahead and turns him into a marionette without strings....
This Adreian Payne Dunk Is Just Silly
The college dunk contest was last night, and even though Michigan State forward Adreian Payne didn't win the competition, he earned the unofficial victory thanks to this ridiculous dunk....
In Praise Of The Schlub Frontman: Future Islands And The Hold Steady
There is no greater cultural delight on this earth than the sight, and sound, of David Letterman actually enjoying one of his musical guests. His curiosity piqued, his force field of indifference and disdain penetrated. It still happens. He likes Darlene Love; he likes drummers. And earlier this mon...
The Plays That Power The Creighton Offense, The Best In A Decade
Since the beginning of the KenPom era in 2002-03—college basketball's own little Copernican Revolution, during which the laws of the universe finally began to piece themselves together—there hasn't been an offense as efficient or as skilled as the 2014 Creighton Bluejays. But exactly how it operate...
Omaha Cable System Cuts Away From Creighton Game To Show Pac-12 Action
Creighton and Xavier are locked up in a Big East semifinal thriller.

Fox Sports 1 tweeted quickly...

Creighton's Devin Brooks Gets The Assist Of The Year
Creighton crushed DePaul in its opening round game of the Big East tournament. Doug McDermott slapped 35 points on the board, but the highlight of the game was definitely this horrible-pass-turned-serendipitous-assist from Devin Brooks....
ESPN's Phaseout Of Rick Reilly Has Begun
ESPN announced today that Rick Reilly will be going part-time, giving up his ESPN.com column and restricting his appearances to television, including his features on SportsCenter and Monday Night Countdown.

Every White Basketball Player Gets Compared To Larry Bird
This week's SI cover on the left; the Nov. 28, 1977, cover on the right. While we're doing throwbacks, here's Josh Levin in 2005, on the folly of white-on-white hoops comparisons. [Slate | SI.com]...
