Good Afternoon....
The Stanley Cup Finals are going down to wire as Boston fires in four early goals and hang on to force Game 7....The Bruins plan of shooting at Roberto Luongo's glove side paid off as the Canuck goalie gave up a couple of soft goals early from which Vancouver could not recover....Brad Marchand put one over his glove up high and Milan Lucic stuck one in through the five hole as Boston scored four goals in four minutes and change....In a game that felt it could turn into a laugher, Vancouver holds the fort, outscoring the Bruins 2-1 the rest of the way....Game 7 will be a challenge for the Bruins as they've only scored two goals in three games in Vancouver....Canucks have to decide if they keep Luongo in goal or switch to Cory Schneider....Luongo didn't seem too upset when they pulled him last night....Daniel Sedin guarantees a Vancouver win....Thats funny coming from The Flopper....If its intensity you like, Game 7 should provide it.
Some of the Miami Heat allegedly partied with players from the Champion Dallas Mavericks after Game 6....Whats going on?....Imagine the Celtics partying with the Lakers or Heat after losing?....Now that the NBA season has ended, what next?....The NFL seems to be making progress on their new CBA....No doubt thru the effort of owners and players to get the lawyers out of the room and negotiate with each other....And it looks like some kind of agreement will be in place before training camps are scheduled to open next month....Just waiting for the NBA to screw their negotiations up....Both sides meet next week in New York and I can see shots across the bow....Are there owners and players willing to throw the lawyers out of the room and negotiate in good faith?....As I've said before, is there any athlete more overpaid and overprivileged than a National Basketball Association player?
From the "where has he been lately?" department....Vernon Wells hits two home runs for the Angels....Think Toronto is forever grateful that the Angels took on that behemoth contract?....Derek Jeter pulls up lame last night putting his run to 3000 hits on hold....Hunter Pence has a quietly put together a 23 game hitting streak....After a day off, can Boston continue their offensive onslaught?....We will find out as they face David Price and James Shields in Tampa this week.
Sad times in E Street Nation as Clarence Clemons has suffered a stroke....The 69 year old saxophone player suffered paralysis on his left side and has undergone two surgeries....Thoughts and prayers go out to The Baddest Man On The Planet.
"Baseball happens to be a game of cumulative tension but football, basketball and hockey are played with hand grenades and machine guns." - John Leonard.................talk to ya
