Watching Ovi but thinking about Lundqvist, and Nadal’s brilliance...
are moments when sports are still vividly and wonderfully pure, and so it was the other night when finally got his hands on the Stanley Cup.
The Vegas Golden Knights were a pretty vivid and wonderful story themselves.
Just not as good as Ovechkin, who waited as long as he did for this moment.
He has been one of the great players of his time, and of all time in the National Hockey League.
Over time, he became the best player to have never won it all in his sport.
You know what I was thinking about the other night, when I saw the joy on Ovechkin’s face when he had the Cup in the air and was skating around with it in Vegas?
I wonder what thinking. One more thing about Ovechkin? I just like him because he’s a top Russian who didn’t try to fix a Presidential election.
You keep hearing that has to stay in the Eastern Conference, because that way he can stay away for the Warriors for as long as possible. was Well, how is that working out for him?
of the News is right: Now that we know LeBron broke his own hand, only did the second dumbest thing in the NBA Finals.
You can say this again about the Warriors, in light of the way has MVP-ed his way through two straight NBA Finals:
A team that had one one title without Durant — and probably would have won two if
hadn’t been enough of a chucklehead to get himself suspended in ’16 when his team had a three games to one lead — basically went out and added Not saying Durant is Jordan. Not saying that at all. Durant has way more firepower on the court with him than Michael ever did, and not just because of Curry.
But he averaged 35 points across the five games of the ’17 finals.
He averaged 29 points in this year’s sweep, and could have scored more on Friday night’s 20 if he had to. But he didn’t have to.
So he decided to just have some tripledouble fun of his own in the final lap before the O’Brien Trophy. There couldn’t have possibly been worse baseball news this week than the news about there being something wrong with elbow.
might finally lose a French Open final on Sunday against
because it’s sports and things can happen, even to Nadal and even at Roland Garros, even though it’s not the way to bet.
But if Nadal does win his 11th French title, and get to a total of 17 majors for his career, it is worth remembering that Australian Open final between Nadal and in January of 2017. Nadal was ahead 3-1 in the fifth set that day. Over the next 30 minutes or so, what became as significant half-hour as there has been in the history of men’s tennis, Federer won the last five games, and the match. Now he’s got 20 majors. If Nadal had beaten Federer that day – and if he wins Sunday in Paris – the majors scoreboard would currently read this way: Federer 19, Nadal 18. And maybe Nadal is the one who might end up with more majors than any male player in history.
This from a Knicks fan I know in L.A. this past week:
“Do you find it odd that Knick executives can’t say enough wonderful things about
Is that a ploy so they can get the guy they really want? And if it’s not, gee, they’re awfully stupid. Can you imagine doing that? He never said a word about ,or anybody else for that matter.” At its heart, the sad story of
and him losing his job because of all those burner Twitter accounts, is about an obsession with social media. All those NFL owners rolled over for the President with their new policy on the national anthem, and he threw them all under their team buses anyway.
The way things are going, I think Trump is going to issue a pardon for of “The Fugitive.” And while we’re on the subject of pardons: Can we talk about one for He did slug that fire extinguisher one time. But he sure wasn’t chuckleheaded enough to do it during the Finals.
