I predict the Warriors will win it all in another unforgettable seven-game series. "We're excited, " Durant said . Hopefully, Durant subscribes to the following theory: You can't please everyone. Same as it was in 2016, when the Cleveland Cavaliers rallied to win it in seven. Not to mention that the Cavaliers are the team that is defending their title, so it sounds amusing that the Warriors are such heavy favorites at -240 on the National Basketball Association series ...

Penguins beat Predators 4-1, take 2-0 lead
- June 01, 2017
The hottest goaltender in the playoffs was only tested 11 times in 58 minutes - and lost. Whereas Rinne could've chalked Game 1 up as bad luck or an off night, there's no hiding from his Game 2 performance. And if they don't, the Penguins can make them pay quickly. During the second period, 36-year-old Jacob Waddell launched a dead catfish onto the ice following a stoppage in play. (more...)

Predators goalie Rinne struggling as Pens take 2-0 lead
- June 01, 2017
The Preds didn't score with their partial five-on-three advantage - Malkin also drew a questionable penalty for hooking - but they broke through with their first lead of the series on a goal from Aberg. His 19 playoff points are the most by an American-born first-year player and he'll have at least two more cracks at adding to that total. At the other end, Rinne looked like he couldn't wait for the period to end. (more...)

Antoine Griezmann to Man Utd up to Ed Woodward - Mourinho
- June 01, 2017

Matt Murray has been strong in goal for the Penguins. The catfish was hurled onto the ice at 9:30 p.m. ET at PPG Paints Arena. We want more. It's our game. (more...)
