Happy Monday everyone! Hope you have a lovely weekend.

Good morning to everyone but especially…
The Colorado AvalancheTheir offense was what gave them a 3-2 lead in the Stanley Cup Finals. Their defense is what made them champions.
In an intense game 6, Avalanche strangled Lightning of Starry offenses and just getting enough from themselves in win 2-1 to win the trophy. Steven Stamkos opened the scoring under four minutes in, but Nathan MacKinnon and Artturi Lehkonen both found the back of the net in the second half, and that’s all Colorado needed.
- It’s from Avalanche Third Stanley Cup, along with 2001 and 1996.
- Avalanche came from behind to win 10 times after this season, ending 2009 Penguins most in a single season.
- Cale Makar won the Conn Smythe Trophy, awarded to the most valuable player in the knockout round. He is youngest defender to win it since Bobby Orr in 1970.
The Avalanche have had many impressive stretches after this season, but none was more important than last night’s third period. The Lightning – two-time defending champions, playing at home with their season – has managed only four shots on goal in the final period. Goalie Darcy Kuemper were brilliant, and it seemed that every Avalanche player – even attacking stars like MacKinnon – was doing their best to save.
It was an all-around performance by the best team in the league, led by one of the best players in the leaguewrites our hockey expert Austin Nivison.
- Nivison: “MacKinnon was the heart and soul of Avalanche throughout their rebuild, and he has grown into a top player in the league. 6, MacKinnon scored the match-fixing goal and assisted Lehkonen. scoring the winning goal. Considering how much MacKinnon means to Avalanche, it’s fitting that he’s the pitcher in this game.”

Morning Tampa FLY
For the past three years, Lightning has had all the answers. All goals when they need it most, all goals save from Andrei Vasilevskiyall the knockouts were won and all the matches dominated… until last night.
Tampa Bay’s dream is to be the sport’s first three-layer peat champion since Islanders winning four in a row from 1980-83 is over, but how did it run?. Lightning won 11 straight series before falling to Colorado. Stamkos, Vasilevskiy, Nikita Kucherov and Victor Hedmanamong others, has shone on the biggest stage.
The NHL set a wage cap in 2005 to increase parity in the league. Since then, Lightning has had some rough years, some fascinating titles and, like this year, some heartbreaking endings, but their journey over the past three seasons – given the era in which it came out. life – will not soon be forgotten. Lightning won’t be joining this season as champion, but it’s been an incredibly impressive ride. I also wouldn’t count them continuing it in the future.
Not to mention such honor

For Schauffele, it is a well-earned win for someone who has had more than his fair share of heartbreaking finishes golf expert Patrick McDonald writes.
- McDonald’s: “Unfortunately for Schauffele, consistency isn’t often rewarded for titles on the PGA Tour. … Schauffele’s career could be the perfect encapsulation of this.

USATSI
Bryce Harper broken left thumb Saturday night after hitting the 97 mph fast ball from Padres leftist Blake Snell. The Phillies Harper has been shortlisted for 10 days of injury, but the severity of – and time to recover – the injury will be determined by upcoming tests.
Harper has been fighting a small tear for UCL this season, forcing him to appear almost exclusively as a designated assassin; His last start on the right-court was April 15. However, Harper has been fantastic this year:
- Polished Average .318 (4th in NL)
- .599 slip rate (2nd in NL)
- 37 secondary attacks (3rd in NL)
How much time Harper misses will have a big effect on Philadelphia. The Phillies have regrouped from a slow start and sit 1.5 games out in the playoffs. Although it is possible to replace DH Nick Castellanos and Kyle Schwarber most likely, the August 2 trading deadline and the team’s performance between now and then is huge.
