       The Florida Panthers defeated the Edmonton Oilers 2-1 to win the franchise’s first NHL championship in its 30-year history. After blowing a 3-game lead, losing decidedly on the road, the Cats got back to their roots, great goal keeping, tenacious defense and timely shot making. Though the Conn Smythe Trophy, given to the series MVP, was awarded to Connor McDavid of the losing Oilers, I thought Panther goalkeeper Sergei Bobrovsky was equally deserving. The Stanley Cup, traditionally known as the most difficult  professional sports trophy to win, was first handed to  Alexander Barkov in honor of his consistent play throughout the series.

       When the starter’s pistol fired, Richardson seized the moment and secured her spot at next month’s Paris Olympics. She blew past the rest of the women’s 100 meters field at the U.S. Olympic track and field trials, easing across the finish line in first place in a world-leading 10.71 seconds.
