With the Paris Olympics just around the corner, injuries to key American gymnasts have ended the hopes and dreams of Shilese Jones, Skye Blakeley and Kayla Dicello, all sidelined with significant lower extremity injuries.

Dicello, last year’s Pan American Games all-around champion, was a strong contender to make the U.S. team in Paris.

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.
