Sports Update!
As many of you know, for me in terms of spectator sports the year consists of college football season, March Madness, and the rest of the year. Still, I'm aware there are other sports. In fact, hockey and basketball are fully into their playoffs.
In the NBA, the big news came in the first round, when Eastern Conference 8 seed Miami beat the 1 seed, Milwaukee. We are now down to the semifinals. which will see Boston playing the NY Knicks in the Eastern final, and the Denver Nuggets are playing the LA Lakers in the Western final. So... we could see an LA v. NY championship, or a new version of the classic Celtics-Lakers rivalry that dominated the 80's. Or, the Denver Nuggets. Sigh.
In the NHL, The Boston Bruins cruised into the playoffs, but immediately lost to some team from Florida. Ugh. So now we have the Florida Panthers v. the Carolina Hurricanes in the East Championship, and the Dallas Stars Play the Las Vegas Golden Knights in the West. Not exactly classic matchups!
