The Puck Drops Here 5.30.16: 2016 Stanley Cup Final Edition #StanleyCup

By Chris Lulovics, @CLulovics

After a tremendous playoff race, two teams have emerged from the insanity that is the NHL playoffs to play for sports most prestigious trophy. Whether you call it "The Cup", "Lord Stanley's Cup", or "The Holy Grail", it doesn't matter. It is the goal of every hockey team at the start of the season in October to make it this far.

We will see from the Western Conference, making their first ever trip, will be the San Jose Sharks. The Sharks made it by beating the Los Angeles Kings in the first round 4-1. Then the Nashville Predators 4-3. And then the St. Louis Blues 4-2. After years of making the playoffs only to lose in an early round, they finally brushed that dark cloud hovering over them. San Jose is playing some of the best hockey in recent years and they easily have a chance, a really good chance by the way, of winning the whole thing.

On the other side of things, the Pittsburgh Penguins are no strangers being in this position. Sidney Crosby, love him or hate him, is one of the top players of this generation. Along with Evgeni Malkin and Phil Kessel, they definitely have the scoring whether it be from goals or assists. What could provide to be the biggest difference in the series is the play of rookie goaltender Matt Murray. Murray, who replaced veteran, Marc-Andre Fleury during an injury will become the 6th rookie goalie to start in the Finals, has been playing unlike a rookie seemingly unfazed and showing poise beyond his years. Penguins fans in recent years might be a little happy that Fleury is not playing as in recent years his play not all his fault has been the downfall of recent playoff years.  If Murray plays as he has been and can, then the Cup will be coming back to Pittsburgh.

This definitely will be a very good series as both teams have the talent and goaltending to win.  Biggest questions will be will Pittsburgh's Murray falter in the Finals or continue to play the way he has been all playoffs?  Will the Sharks lack of playoff experience this deep prove to be the deciding factor or will they continue to show that they are what everyone expected them to be and come out on top? Be sure to check out the website for game times and channels.

I have this series going 6 games, with the Penguins bringing the Cup back to Pittsburgh.  If you take a look back at the playoff preview edition, I will probably be wrong since my predictions weren't up to par.  But if I could predict everything being right I would predict the lottery numbers and win millions.

I hope you've enjoyed the articles throughout the season.  Enjoy the Finals, get ready for an amazing off season, enjoy your summer and I'll see everyone around draft time or right before the World Cup of Hockey.

Leadoff with Lee 5.10.14

-In Day 2 of the 2014 NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns made three additions to the team. In the second round at pick 35, they selected offensive tackle Joel Bitonio from Nevada. Bitonio is 6'4", 302 pounds and is said to have a "mean and nasty" style of play. He may outplay Mitchell Schwartz and/or Jason Pinkston and take the starting spot. The third round seen the Browns selecting linebacker Chris Kirksey from Iowa. Kirksey is a hard hitter, but weighing in around 230 pounds some think that he may be able to play safety as well. Lastly on Friday, the Browns traded up into the late third round to pick up running back Terrence West at 30. From Towson, West may appear short in stature at only 5'9", 225 pounds, but makes up for it in speed and powerful running. Many say he comparable to Maurice Jones-Drew. Rounds 4-7 start at Noon today.

-Browns Wide Receiver Josh Gordon faces a 1 year suspension from the NFL after allegedly failing a drug test. The drug he supposedly tested positive for is marijuana. Gordon entered the league in the NFL substance abuse program for testing positive for weed, before being drafted in the supplemental draft, which put him in stage 1 of the program. Josh Gordon then tested positive for "purple drank", a drinkable codeine cough syrup mixture, but was only suspended for 2 games last season for the offense. Purple drank was not on the banned substance list at that point in time. Gordon led the NFL last season in receiving yards with 1,646 yards.

-Former Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel has been named the new President of Youngstown State University. Tressel was the head football coach for the Penguins from 1985-2000 before leaving to become head coach of the Ohio State Buckeyes.

-The Ohio State Buckeyes football team had 2 players go in the 1st round on Thursday. The Pittsburgh Steelers selected linebacker Ryan Shazier with the 15th overall pick and cornerback Bradley Roby going 31st to the Denver Broncos. On Friday, the San Francisco 49ers selected running back Carlos Hyde in the 2nd round with the 26th pick in the round and 57th overall.

-The Indiana Pacers go up 2-1 in the series as the showed the Washington Wizards some magic last night winning 85-63, in the Eastern Conferece semis. Paul George had a game high of 23 points and 8 rebounds. On the defensive end, Roy Hibbert had 5 rebounds with 3 blocks on top of his 15 points. Washington's John Wall didn't help with 5 turnovers for the game and 6 points. Game 4 will be Sunday night in Washington.

-The late game seen the Los Angeles Clippers taking a 2-1 series lead, defeating the Oklahoma City Thunder 118-112. It was a very chippy game that seen a lot of shoving and even the bloodying of Blake Griffin's nose. Griffin however had a great game with 34 points. Chris Paul had 21 points and 16 assists, while Jamal Crawford added 20 off the bench. Kevin Durant led all scores with 36 but just wasn't enough to overcome the Clippers. Russell Westbrook and Serge Ibaka had 23 and 20 points, respectively. Game 4 will be Sunday afternoon in L.A.

-The Cleveland Indians beat the Tampa Bay Rays 6-3 in Tampa yesterday. Asdrubal Cabrera went 3-4 with two runs scored. Mike Aviles was 1-3, but his one hit scored 3 RBIs with his homerun. Corey Kluber started and got the win for the Tribe. He improves back to .500 evening his record to 3-3. Kluber had 9 strikeouts! Can we say lights out?

Leadoff with Lee 4.27.14

-The Giants were just to big for the Indians. With a 3-0 lead headed into the 5th inning, San Francisco's bats became GIANTS literally. They scored four runs on four hits to go up 4-3. Michael Morse singled to start the rally. Brandon Crawford singled to right, then Brandon Hicks loaded the bases. Pinch hitter Gregor Blanco hit a single to make the score 3-1. Later, Hunter Pence hit a two run double to take the lead 4-3. Buster Posey came up in the sixth inning and hit a solo shot off of CC Lee. Tribe pitcher Zack McAllister started off strong, putting out 12 of his first 13 batters he saw. McAllister went 5 innings with 5 hits and 4 earned runs. On a bright note, he did strikeout 6. Cleveland and San Francisco finish the series tomorrow with Ryan Vogelsong (0-1 7.71 era) facing Cleveland's Danny Salazar(0-3 7.85 era). If Salazar doesn't have a quality start his next game, I expect him to be demoted to AAA.

-Vinsanity is back! Vince Carter hit a crazy 3 at the buzzer to get the victory for his Mavs against the Spurs. Dallas takes a 2-1 lead after a 109-108 victory at home. Dallas guard Monta Ellis tied his playoff career high with 29 points with a clutch 12 in the fourth quarter. Tim Duncan had a team high of 22 points for the Spurs. Game 4 is Monday in Dallas at 9:30.

-The Indiana Pacers tied the series 2-2 with a 91-88 win over the Hawks. Paul George had a double-double, scoring 24 points to go along with his 10 rebounds. Paul Milsap went 3-6 from 3 point range and had 29 points, a playoff career high for Atlanta. Kyle Korver scored 15 points for the Hawks including 9 boards. This game shouldn't have been as close as it was. Atlanta shot a measly 35 percent versus Indiana. The Pacers will meet the Hawks again on Monday in Atlanta.

-Lebron James and the Heat took an overpowering 3-0 series lead with their 98-85 win over Charlotte. King James had team highs of 30 points with 10 rebounds. Dwyane Wade had a respectable 17 points for the Heat. Al Jefferson had the hot hand in the first quarter scoring 15 points, but only finished with 20 for the game. The "whiteout" by Charlotte's fans didn't do enough as it was more of a cry of "We Surrender". Miami looks to close out this series on Monday in Charlotte.

-Behind the strength of Reggie Jackson, not Kevin Durant or Russell Westbrook, BUT Reggie Jackson, the Oklahoma City Thunder held off the Memphis Grizzlies, 92-89 in overtime. It was the third straight overtime in this series. Jackson lead with 29 points, while Durant and Westbrook struggled but chipped in 15 points apiece. Marc Gasol led the Grizzlies with 23 points and 11 rebounds. With the series tied, it now heads back to OKC Tuesday night for Game 5.

-At UFC 172, Jon "Bones" Jones defended his UFC light heavyweight title successfully for the 7th straight time, defeating Glover Teixera by decision after 5 rounds.

-The Columbus Blue Jackets fell 3-1 to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Pittsburgh takes a 3-2 series lead as the series heads back to Columbus on Monday. Game time is 7 PM.

-Sometime today I will drop a special piece about Bernie Kosar being taken off doing the Browns pre-season games.
