Neuvěřitelné. Oba týmy vstřelily dva góly za jedenáct sekund, Florida v brutální koncovce
Florida po dvou výhrách v aréně Tampy Bay, doma v prvním domácím utkání za vyučenou (1:5). A s obhájcem prvenstvím dlouho ztrácela. Ve 29. minutě sice vstřelila úvodní gól střetnutí Antonem Lundellem (mimochodem přihrával nedávný spoluhráč Davida Pastrňáka z Bostonu Brad Marchand), ovšem její konkurent vývoj utkání otočil. Stalo se tak zásluhou dvou bleskových branek týmu s bleskem na hrudi v rozmezí neuvěřitelných jedenácti sekund krátce za zlomem zápasu do jeho druhé poloviny. Prosadili se Mitchell Chaffee a slovenský bek Erik Černák.Tato skutečnost s obhájcem Stanley Cupu poněkud zamávala. Navíc na začátku posledního dějství vyfasoval finský obránce Niko Mikkola 5+10 minut za naražení na hrazení. Domácí dlouhé oslabení přežili, což jim naopak vlilo krev do žil. V osmé minutě tohoto dějství jím vyrovnání zmařila trenérská výzva soupeře. Pak ale posadili Tampu na centrifugu a třemi góly za necelé dvě minuty úplně otočily kormidlo na cestu za třetí výhrou.V čase 56:13 se trefil obránce […]
Entenda como camisa vermelha da seleção foi escolhida e por que ela já nasceu sem ser unanimidade na CBF
O novo uniforme vermelho da seleção brasileira, que será lançado em março de 2026 para a Copa do Mundo pela Nike, não foi unanimidade na CBF, mas prevaleceu a estratégia da empresa americana. A cor nem foi tanto o problema, mas o fato de o novo uniforme substituir a camisa dois, azul, e não ser uma camisa 3, segundo o blog apurou. O presidente Ednaldo Rodrigues aderiu a estratégia da Nike. Quem defendia a camisa vermelha como terceiro uniforme argumentava que com as três em uso não haveria necessidade de polêmica, pois a seleção poderia escolher a que usar. O problema é que a Nike não faz camisa 3 para nenhuma seleção, sob o argumento de que as vendas são prejudicadas por uma espécie de canibalismo, onde o segundo uniforme concorre com o terceiro. Para evitar o prejuízo, muda-se o […]
2025 NFL Draft: Could Browns taking Shedeur Sanders after Dillon Gabriel pan out? Here’s the upside on Cleveland’s surprise strategy
Less than 24 hours after publicly endorsing the talents of Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel, Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry faced the media with a similar task Saturday afternoon.Describing another quarterback’s fit and value at the draft spot?AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementDrafting high-profile Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders 50 picks after selecting Gabriel warranted explanation.“We talk oftentimes about quarterback being the most important position in the sport,” Berry said. “It wasn’t necessarily the plan going into the weekend to select two quarterbacks, but as we talk about, we do believe in best player available, we do believe position value, and we didn’t necessarily expect him to be available in the fifth round.“It got to a point where he was probably mispriced relative to the draft.”The Browns are taking two swings at rookie quarterbacks in Colorado's Shedeur Sanders and Oregon's Dillon Gabriel.

The Panthers, the bad boys of the NHL, are ‘very comfortable with who they are’
SUNRISE, Fla. — The Florida Panthers are not only the resident bad boys of the National Hockey League, but they’re also the defending Stanley Cup champions.They illustrated both facts on Monday.Florida threw a couple of flagrantly illegal hits, killed a five-minute major penalty while trailing in the third period, overcame the sobering ruling of a game-tying call being overruled by an offside challenge, tied the game anyway and used a dramatic spurt to push the Lightning to the brink in a 4-2 victory.AdvertisementEverything about this night was a microcosm of why the Panthers have owned the Eastern Conference for the past three seasons and why they appear to have surpassed their bitter rivals for potentially long-term state bragging rights. One more win will do it.This one didn’t feel like it was going to be a Panthers’ win, but then their […]
Cavaliers crush Heat in most lopsided series in NBA playoff history: Historic sweep by the numbers
Getty Images Sometimes, series that end in four games can be closer and more competitive than the word "sweep" suggests. The Cleveland Cavaliers' sweep of the Miami Heat, which concluded with a 138-83 rout on Monday, was not one of those series.Cleveland entered Monday's Game 4 having outscored Miami by 24.9 points per 100 possessions in the first three games of the series. The team had stomped the Heat in Game 3 on Saturday, leading by as many as 40 points in a 124-87 rout. And it proceeded to crush them even more viciously on Monday.The final margin of victory was 55 points, but you should know that the Cavaliers had a 70-25 lead late in the second quarter. You should know that the Cavs led by as many as 60 points in the fourth. They finished the series having […]
