Decades Of Hate!
One thing that absolutely irritates me about New York sports is the amount of fake local rivalries we have here. And I was reminded of my hatred of false rivalries last night when the Jets took on the Giants in a preseason game. This happens every year and it’s called the Snoopy Bowl. Because Metlife Stadium is named after Metlife who has Snoopy as their mascot, lol! The Giants won and guess what? It meant absolutely nothing. This of course didn’t stop fans from talking an unwarranted amount of trash talk towards one another. Both teams have enough teams within their own division that they can hate there is absolutely no reason to hate each other.

Girardi threw the puck up the wall after he fell down, and Mike Richards was able to intercept the clearing attempt. Richards quickly passed it to a wide open Williams who buried the puck behind Henrik Lundqvist.

Alec Martinez of the Los Angeles Kings scored at 5:47 of overtime to send LA to the Stanley Cup Finals. Martinez flicked a harmless looking shot on goal from the left point and it deflected off of Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Nick Leddy, then past netminder Corey Crawford.
This was an absolutely incredible series by these two teams and obviously overtime was the only way to settle it. Check out the video of the game winning goal.

Michal Handzus scored the game winning goal in double overtime to give the Chicago Blackhawks a 5-4 victory over the Los Angeles Kings. Thanks to Handzus, the Blackhawks live to see another day.

The Blackhawks will now travel to Los Angeles to try to stave off elimination once again in game 6.
