Kings Look to Spoil Red Wings Playoff Aspirations
It has been 21 years since the NHL world was talking about the Detroit Red Wings not being a part of the Stanley Cup Playoffs but the possibility exists that the impressive streak of post season appearances could be coming to an end.
The Pros move to TPC Louisiana this week and the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. Last year, Jason Dufner and Ernie Els finished minus 19 before their playoff – you can go low here. Greens are fairly easy to hit but course management is critical on this Pete Dye designed course.
The Diamondbacks are hanging in there pretty well considering they are dealing with some injuries after pretty low expectations coming into the season.
Desperate Coyotes Face Equally Desperate Wings in Crucial Clash
Two teams with absolutely zero room for error meet in the Motor City Monday night with their playoff lives on the line. Both the Phoenix Coyotes and the Detroit Red Wings are currently on the outside of the Western Conference playoff picture looking in – losing is not an option.
I am not really sure how they are doing it but the New York Yankees are hanging in there despite missing several key members of their everyday lineup.
The Nationals fashion themsleves an elite team but after losing the series opener to the Mets are closer to the middle than the top of the National League East. They opened the series with Stephen Strasburg on the hill but the Mets weren’t shy in welcoming him to the Big Apple.
This is a big series for the Diamondbacks as they look to close ground on the surprising Rockies at the top of the division.
The Yankees beat the Diamondbacks in Game 1 of this interleague series and they have won 2 straight overall.
Detroit is sitting at the top of a bunchy American League Central right now.
They won the opener of their series against Seattle last night pushing their road record to over .500 for the season.
The RBC Heritage has its work cut out for it – it is impossible to recreate the drama that culminated in Adam Scott’s first major win at the Masters. But the top dogs are not shying away from this week’s event – 14 players that finished inside the top 25 at Augusta will tee it up at Hilton Head Island.
The Boston Bruins play in what is the first major sporting event in Massachusetts since the Boston Marathon tragedy Monday. Heightened security and heavy hearts will unfortunately be a big part of the game between the Bruins and the Buffalo Sabres – sad that the focus won’t solely be on the joy that professional sports brings to New England.
Two weeks left in the NHL’s Regular Season and things are really heating up as the Power Players flex their muscle, the bubble teams scramble for a playoff spot and the weaker teams in the NHL look toward next year.
Flyers Look to Keep Slim Playoff Hopes Alive – Host Rangers Tuesday Night
The Philadelphia Flyers broke out in a big way on Monday night with a 7-3 win over the Montreal Canadiens. In turn they kept their razor-thin playoff hopes alive. The next challenge for the Flyers? A date with the New York Rangers, a team that has won 11 of the last 12 meetings between the two clubs and has looked vastly different since reshaping their lineup at the trade deadline.
The Padres may have won yesterday to break their losing streak but they are still struggling greatly this season. They are already 6 games back in the standing of the N.L. West standings and will need more than just fire in their bellies to overcome.
The Phillies should be encouraged by the fact that they got a solid pitching performance from Roy Halladay yesterday. After taking two of three against the Marlins they are at .500 but still looking way up at the Braves in the National League East standings.
