Stanley Cup Final Game Two: Category 24
Momentum. A simple eight-letter word. In sports, it seems much longer. It can change at the snap of a finger and can change without any warning. We've seen it many time in many sporting events. So why should this year's Stanley Cup Final be any different? We saw it in Game One already. Nikolaj Ehlers scored 25 seconds in, and added another one, but all that did was fire up the Vegas Golden Knights, who went on to win 4-3. So the Hurricanes were down one in the Cup Final, and even worse, they lost that game at home.

Somers Hangs on for 16-15 Win Over Arlington
Scroll to end for photos All afternoon long on Monday May 17, Somers jumped out, and Arlington fought back. A 16-12 lead with 79 seconds left seemed pretty safe, though. Three straight Arlington goals said otherwise, and 13.9 seconds seemed an eternity. Especially when Arlington won again in the circle, the potential for heartbreak was thick, and that left Emma Donaldson ready to resuscitate. “I have to go get it,” the goalie thought, and she was right.

Stanley Cup Final Game One: 25 Seconds and What Do You Get?!
June 19, 2006. That was the last time that North Carolina's capital city of Raleigh hosted a Stanley Cup Final game. It was the game. Game Seven against the Edmonton Oilers. The Carolina Hurricanes won that game, 3-1, to capture the Stanley Cup. Cam Ward won the Conn Smythe Trophy, and Rod Brind'Amour was the team's captain, the first to touch the Stanley Cup. Fast forward nearly 20 years, the Hurricanes are in the Final again, and as for Brind'Amour, he's now the head coach.

2026 Stanley Cup Final Preview
And then there were two. The maniacal marathon known as the NHL season comes down to just two teams, as the Stanley Cup Final is all set. In this year's go-around, it will be the Carolina Hurricanes going against the Vegas Golden Knights in the battle for the holy grail, the most difficult trophy in all of sports, the Stanley Cup. The Stanley Cup. To kinda play off the words of Cody Rhodes, "Easy to want it, hard to win it."

Well, That Was Fun...
I will not translate the subtitle, but I will explain my feelings... The Montréal Canadians lost yesterday in a 6-1 Game 5 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes in that team's backyard. I expected this to be the result last night after all of the things I've noted about my team - lack of shots on goal; defence without determination, etc. - but I must admit that I felt more offended about what I saw in the Game 4 crash and burn on Wednesday.

What Went Wrong: If the Avalanche Reach the West Final and Don't Show Up, Did We Really Make It?
You know, if this isn't the ultimate definition of "How it started and how it's going," then I don't know what is. This was a dream campaign for the Colorado Avalanche. We were coming off being cheated by the Dallas Stars and crooked officials last year. Explosive start to this season. Mackenzie Blackwood and Scott Wedgewood playing like gangbusters. Cale Makar doing Cale Makar things. First full season with Gabriel Landeskog back at captain since our Cup year. Nathan MacKinnon, well, existing.

Scroll to end for Photos On Tuesday May 12, the John Jay offense scored 13 goals and could definitely hang their hats on a pretty good day. But the defense didn’t have a blemish and finished the day perfectly.

Is It Happening?. Top Story - May 2026.
All right. It continues... It is a damp Sunday night in Montréal, and I am considering where my beloved team stands after yesterday's game. The Canadiens have made it to the semi-finals against the Carolina Hurricanes and have shocked many commentators by taking the first game against a team that shut out two other contenders in their division (Philadelphia Flyers, Ottawa Senators). It was a 6 - 2 for the local boys in the other team's barn, meaning that they managed to score more goals in one game that both teams managed to score over the four games they shared with the Canes. Everyone commented on the fantastic goaltending and playmaking on our side, and the sloppy play and weak defence of the other team. They have also noted that, because of the early wins for Carolina, they had a lot of time off between games, meaning that they were rusty and unprepared for les Habitants.

John Jay Gets a Boost with Win Over Bronxville
Scroll to end for photos After a strong start, John Jay has had a rough go lately. Fortunately, a trip over the bridge began a rebound. “Off a win last week versus North Rockland, we really got a boost,” said Coco Inglis, and on Saturday May 2, Bronxville got the brunt.
