Special Event: 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs πŸ’ - Third Round

The second round of the playoffs is over and we're into the conference finals; the Western conference will be a high-stakes πŸ₯© battle of elite scoring talent, as Connor McDavid πŸ₯‡ turned from the best player in the world into one of the best players of all time with his Edmonton Oilers kicking out πŸ¦΅β›Έ the Calgary Flames. They face a stacked and favoured Colorado Avalanche, where Nathan McKinnon 🍝 and Cale πŸ₯¬Makar scored some beautiful goals in a sometimes ugly (by which I mean racist) series against the St Louis Blues. In the East, it could be the matchup of the best two goaltenders πŸ₯… in the world. Tampa Bay's Andrei Vasilevskiy 🦁 led his team into a dominant four game 🧹of the Florida Panthers, the regular season winners. Meanwhile NY Rangers goalie Igor Shesterkin 🀴 slammed the πŸšͺ on the Carolina Hurricanes to turn the tables in game 7 after the home teams won the first 6 games. [more inside]

Special Event: 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs πŸ’ - Second Round

The second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs kicks off tonight! The two-time defending champion Tampa Bay Lightning take on the best team in the regular season, the Florida Panthers. The Battle of Florida is a repeat of last year's opening round, which featured some incredibly entertaining hockey. In the west, the heavily favoured Colorado Avalanche take on the St. Louis Blues, who won it all just a few years ago. Tomorrow night, the Carolina Hurricanes and their deep squad host the New York Rangers and the best goalie of the regular season, Igor Shesterkin. And in the final game, the first playoff Battle of Alberta since 1991 will be crazy; the Calgary Flames and the best line in hockey take on the Edmonton Oilers, who happen to have the best player in the sport, Connor McDavid.

The NBA on TNT: NBA Playoffs: CLE vs TOR  Season 27, Ep 5

Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals was last night (5/17/16) wherein the Cleveland Cavaliers took on the Toronto Raptors. In contrast to the Western Conference it was not exactly pretty. In contrast to a bullfight, it was a bit inhumane. Game 2 is tomorrow. Good luck, other!

The NBA on TNT: NBA Playoffs: MIA vs TOR  Season 27, Ep 3

The Toronto Raptors, a young unproven team with a rabid fan base trying to get further than they have in recent memory, are tied with a Miami Heat team plagued by injury and age, who nevertheless have played with great guile and ferocity. The Severe North vs the Lackadaisical South. Lannisters vs Starks. And so forth. Meanwhile, Lebron is chilling in an ice bath with the dragons. Game 5 is tonight, 5/11/16.
