In the past week, the Final Four in the NHL was decided. The Predators and Ducks won the Western Conference Semifinals, and the Penguins and Senators won in the East. Game 1 of the Western Conference finals was a close one. On their first shot of the series, the Ducks took an early lead. Then a seesaw battle took place, which ended up as a tie at the end of regulation. Then, the Predators got the game winning goal in OT. The Ducks nearly took a lead , but Pekka Rinne made several incredible saves. The Predators also missed an opportunity. The Ducks got two penalties, so the Predators had a 5 on 3 advantage. But they couldn't make any thing of it .This looks like it will be a close series. If that series will be close, then the Senators-Penguins series will be extremely close. The two very talented teams will face-off in Game 1 tonight. The Senators have the skill to take on the Penguins, but I think the Stanley Cup Champs will repeat as Eastern Conference champions after a hard fought battle.
In the NBA, the Final Four is almost set, but a last second three pointer by John Wall prevented the Celtics from advancing last night, but both teams are great at home, so the Celtics will win Game 7 at TD Garden. The winner will face LeBron's Cavaliers. Meanwhile, the Spurs will face the Warriors in a good series. The Spurs are a great team, but the Warriors are super-team.
In the MLB, a lot has been going wrong for the Mets. About half the team is on the Disabled List, and Matt Harvey was suspended. Yet in spite of this, they are still contending. They were on a winning streak and are still in second place, so we Mets fans ought to keep the faith. The season is still just beginning, and anything can happen.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are trying to do something even more impossible than what they did last year: come back form being down 3-0 in the series. The Warriors dominated the first two games, but game 3 was a thriller that the Warriors barely won. Last night however, it was the Cavs who dominated. They set some many records, that in order to see them all, you have to click here.  http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/19593666/nba-playoffs-2017-nba-finals-records-set-game-4  Also there is an incredible play by Lebron. Can he lead Cleveland to a second straight title, or will Golden State use their home court advantage? Speaking of home advantage, the Penguins creamed the Predators in game 5 in Pittsburgh. However, I think the Preds will force a game 7, because game 6 is in Nashville. The Finals are coming to a dramatic end, so be sure not to miss a moment.

Finals have both been decided, and they look familiar. For the third straight year, the Cavaliers will face the Warriors in the NBA Finals. The Warriors won the 2015 Finals in six games, but the Cavs came back from being down 3-1 to win the 2016 Finals. This year, I think the Warriors will get revenge on Cleveland because they are hungrier, and they added Kevin Durant in the off-season. In the NHL, it will be the second straight year in which the Penguins will face a team in its first Stanley Cup Final. Nashville will hope that it will do better than last year's Sharks, who lost to Pittsburgh in five. Pittsburgh will try to win two straight for the second time in franchise history. However, the Predators are a very tough, resilient team, and if anyone can beat the champs, its Nashville. Tune in tonight to see who will win the first game of what I think will be a very close Final.

Michael Gabner's wrap around first period goal was the second out of four Rangers goals in Game 3. Game 4 is tomorrow. The NHL playoff matchups are becoming closer, as the Ducks and Capitals could get even with wins tonight after being down 2-0 before Game 3 wins. The Capitals did this by beating the Penguins 3-2 in Overtime. They caught a break after Sidney Crosby got a concussion. Despite having tied the game at three, the OIlers were overwhelmed by the Ducks, who won 6-3. The team that could not tie their series was the Blues  They could not score enough and lost to Nashville 2-1. The Predators could advance on Friday. The Rangers accomplished did come back in their series last night and had an offensive explosion at Madison Square Garden. They beat the Senators 4-1 thanks to two first period goals and two second period goals.  The Senators scored their lone goal after all four New York goals were scored. Isaiah Thomas electrified the crowd with his 53 points on ...
