Share this: Tuukka Rask receives a lot of undue criticism, but the Boston Bruins goaltender stepped up in the clutch and saved his team Friday night at Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa. It took more than four hours, but the B’s won Game 5 of their first-round Stanley Cup playoff series against the Ottawa Senators in double overtime on a Sean Kuraly goal to force a Game 6 on Sunday. Kuraly’s two goals obviously played a huge part in the 3-2 Bruins win, but Rask deserves an equal amount of credit for his performance. Rask made many tremendous saves, and two of best came after regulation. One robbed Senators forward Viktor Stalberg in the first overtime period. Rask extended his pad to make a great

Tom Wilson’s Ridiculous OT Goal Saves Capitals In Game 1 Win Vs. Maple Leafs
Share this: The Washington Capitals faced an early two-goal deficit against the Toronto Maple Leafs in Game 1 of their first-round series Thursday night at the Verizon Center. The Presidents’ Trophy-winning Capitals have dealt with a ton of postseason disappointment over the past decade and falling down 0-1 to the eighth-seeded Leafs could have spelled disaster for them.

Matthew Slater Trying To Be Like His Dad, Spend Career With One Team
Share this: FOXBORO, Mass. — Tuesday was one of those days when it didn’t seem so bad to reside in New England. It was 80 degrees without a cloud in the sky when Matthew Slater stepped onto the Gillette Stadium game field to meet with the media for the first time since the Patriots won Super Bowl LI. Perhaps his sentiment would have been different it was drizzling and 45 degrees as it’s been for the rest of the spring in Foxboro, but Slater more than hinted that he wants to spend his entire career with the team that selected him in the fifth round of the 2008 NFL Draft. “I realize how blessed I’ve been to be here for the entirety of my career, and

The NFL owners are expected to pass a rule Tuesday banning players from leaping over the offensive line to block field goals and extra points, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter. McClellin employed that tactic twice for the New England Patriots this past season, successfully blocking a field goal against the Baltimore Ravens and batting away an Atlanta Falcons extra point in Super Bowl LI but drawing a dubious penalty in the process. Jamie Collins, Kam Chancellor and Bobby Wagner also have used the move in the past. [embedded content] It’s an exhilarating play but, some around the league have argued, also a dangerous

Next in the 32-year-old's sights is Miroslav Klose on 71. He has some way to go to catch Ferenc Puskás's record of 84 goals, but if he continues at his current rate then there is every chance he will. Ronaldo scores first 'poker' for Portugal...
