Let's start with hockey news. Sweet, sweet hockey news. This was the only 2nd round matchup to go a full 7 games:

|
|
|
Tampa Bay/Boston
|
|
|
Nashville/Winnipeg
|
|
|

I don't think any of us were planning on this Conference Finals participant to jump out to a 2-0 advantage, winning both games on the other team's home ice:
|
|
|
Washington
|
|
|
Winnipeg
|
|
|
Vegas
|
|
|
Tampa Bay

Over in NBAland, this team swept its way into the Conference Finals:
|
|
|
Boston
|
|
|
Golden State
|
|
|
Cleveland
|
|
|
Houston

Meanwhile, bad news: This team had to fire both its coach and its GM during the week. Good news: it was the same guy, so there was, like, less paperwork (we're guessing):
|
|
|
Charlotte
|
|
|
Denver
|
|
|
Detroit
|
|
|
Chicago
|

And this team had a stellar regular season. That didn't help its coach, who was promptly axed upon his team's playoff exit:
|
|
|
Washington
|
|
|
Toronto
|
|
|
New Orleans
|
|
|
Portland

If you give up 10 runs in one inning, your chances of winning go way, way down. Just ask this team, who forgot to pull its starter when things started to go badly:
|
|
|
Baltimore
|
|
|
Seattle
|
|
|
Detroit
|
|
|
Arizona
|

On the other side of the coin, if your starter gives up no runs and no hits during the game, well then....your odds of winning go way, way up. Just ask the:
|
|
|
Padres
|
|
|
Mariners
|
|
|
Rays
|
|
|
Royals
|

And in a screwup that only this bunch could manage, which team handed in the wrong line-up card, which caused everyone to point and laugh:
|
|
|
The White Sox
|
|
|
The Padres
|
|
|
The Mets
|
|
|
The Marlins

And this pitcher is catching all sorts of heck after suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome, apparently caused from playing Fortnite too damn much:
|
|
|
C.C. Sabathia
|
|
|
Yu Darvish
|
|
|
Bartolo Colon
|
|
|
David Price
