BOSTON — The Bruins and Ottawa Senators played a thrilling Game 3 of their first-round Stanley Cup playoff series at TD Garden on Monday night.

Central Michigan’s Incredible Game-Winning Hail Mary Shouldn’t Have Counted
Share this: First things first: Central Michigan’s Hail Mary at the end of its game against Oklahoma State on Saturday was one of the craziest plays you’ll ever see. The Chippewas trailed the Cowboys 27-24 with literally no time left on the clock and needed a touchdown from their own 49-yard line. And when receiver Jesse Kroll caught quarterback Cooper Rush’s desperation heave 12 yards short of the goal line, it looked like the game was over. But then the improbable happened.

The perennial All-Star was reportedly going to have representatives talk to the Turkish club Besiktas on Saturday, but according to ESPN, during a news conference on Sunday, Bryant said, "I haven't spoken to Beskitas in weeks." And according to a source in an NBA.com report, there is a "zero percent" chance that Bryant will play alongside New Jersey Nets guard and Besiktas signee Deron Williams with the Turkish club. Bryant instead seems to be turning his attention to soccer. OK, so not really. But during halftime of an exhibition match in
