Dallas, TX

The Edmonton Oilers defeated the Florida Panthers 8-1 to claim Game 4 of the 2024 NHL Stanley Cup Final and remain alive after losing the series’ first three games. Mattias Janmark opened the scoring for the Oilers in the first period with a shorthanded goal. He scored the fastest shorthanded opening goal in a Stanley Cup Final game in more than 40 years. It was the third-fastest tally in the Final since shorthanded goals were officially tracked in 1933-34, behind Marcel Pronovost (2:15 in 1955) and Lorne Henning (2:38 in 1980).

We are two weeks away from the 2024 NHL Entry Draft that will be held at The Sphere in Las Vegas from June 28-29. The Carolina Hurricanes have the 60th overall pick in the second round. The Hurricanes are somewhat thin at the center position, and it would be smart to select a center with that draft slot. If they can select Sam O’Reilly from the London Knights with the 27th pick, I think Luke Misa would work out well with the 60th pick.

WyoFile has acquired a photograph of a lynx in Wyoming, a landmark observation of a species currently considered absent from the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Star Valley resident Jason Reinhardt, an avid houndsman , came across the animal while mountain lion hunting the southern Gros Ventre Range in February 2022. There was no doubt in his mind what it was: a tom lynx, judging by its blocky head.

Cleveland, OH

The Cleveland Monsters had the Hershey Bears right where they wanted them on Wednesday night. After James Malatesta tied Game 7 late in the third period, nervousness was felt all over Giant Center. It was yet another overtime game. But this time, whoever scored would punch their ticket to the Calder Cup Finals.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

By the end of the year, the owners of Kentucky Speedway will have paid Gallatin County more than $900,000 for tickets never sold to races never run. NASCAR abandoned the racetrack following the 2020 Quaker State 400, but a 20-year PILOT agreement (Payments In Lieu Of Taxes) obligates Speedway Motorsports Inc. to two annual payments through 2031: a $180,000 lump sum and a $1 per ticket fee with a $230,000 minimum, even if the venue remains vacant.

NHL free agency is just around the corner, and there should be plenty of fireworks come July 1.

San Jose, CA

When the San Jose Sharks are officially on the clock to select first overall at the 2024 NHL Entry Draft on June 28, they will almost certainly choose Boston University forward Macklin Celebrini. Celebrini is an excellent prospect and drafting him has the potential to be a franchise-altering move for San Jose – but it won’t happen overnight. There’s still a long way to go for the team to return to relevance, and adding a single player, however good he may be, can only accelerate their trajectory so much. But the Sharks don’t need to wait until draft day to figure this out. They can look around the sports world and understand how far a top draft pick will take them.
