😢 Whalers Done in Hartford
There was a time in history that Hartford, Connecticut had a professional sports team. When the NHL moved the Whalers out of CT, hearts broke all over the state.
On this day in 1997, the Hartford Whalers participated in their last NHL game. The game took place at the Hartford Civic Center, and the Whalers defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1. The winning goal was scored by the teams captain, Kevin Dineen. After that, the franchise packed up and moved to Carolina to become the Hurricanes.

The Final Showdown
⛳️ Rory McIlroy & Bryson DeChambeau Headline Final Pairing
I mean you can’t draw it up much better than this! Rory. Bryson. Together. 18 holes. Sunday at Augusta. You can’t script stuff any better than this.
I’ll give you the short version. Rory is no doubt one of the greatest golfers of this generation. He hasn’t won a major since 2014, and he has never won the Masters. It’s the final major to complete his grand slam. He has very close to majors in the last 10 years but always seems to fall short.
His most recent shortcoming was in last year’s US Open when he missed two short putts down the stretch. Who was there to chase him down and steal the win? Bryson DeChambeau.
Once deemed the most arrogant golfer in the sport, his career has completely turned around. His new demeanor, combined with him showing his full personality on YouTube, he has grown a fanbase unlike any other in the sport.
It is only fitting that these guys share the stage today to end what has been an unbelievable tournament.
Rory knows what is at stake, this is as close as he ever has been to his first green jacket. All that stands in his way is the same man that took a major away from him less than a year ago. The scriptwriters have outdone themselves this time.
Rory. Bryson. 18 holes. Everything to gain. But also everything to lose. Cinema!
The Hot Stove
🏒 Western Michigan WINS 1st Frozen Four Title
What a run for the Broncos out of Western Michigan. You may not hear a lot from them in the sports world. But they just did something that can never be taken away from them. With their 6-2 win over Boston University yesterday, Western Michigan secured their first ever Frozen Four title. They are the best hockey team in the country! They scored the first goal of the contest just 98 seconds in! After a back and forth two periods, they led 3-2 heading into the final period. They tacked on not one, not two, but three insurance goals to help give them the win! Congrats Bronco Nation!
