The NHL playoffs continued on Tuesday night with two more second-round series getting underway. The Carolina Hurricanes scored a major road win over the Washington Capitals in overtime, and the Edmonton Oilers took Game 1 against the Vegas Golden Knights in comeback fashion.

In the early game, the Hurricanes peppered Capitals goaltender Logan Thompson with shots from start to finish. While high-danger chances were harder to come by, Carolina held a clear territorial advantage. Despite that, the Capitals held a 1-0 lead heading into the third period thanks to a goal from Aliaksei Protas.

Halfway through the third period, Logan Stankoven finally broke through for Carolina to tie the game. That score held through the end of regulation until Canes defenseman Jaccob Slavin fired a seeing-eye shot through traffic that snuck under Thompson’s pad to win the game 2-1.

That play earned Slavin a spot on our 3 Stars of the Night, which highlights the best efforts from around the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

In Sin City, the Golden Knights leapt out to a 2-0 lead in the first period thanks to a pair of goals by captain Mark Stone. Just when it looked like Vegas might run away with it, Edmonton got back on track thanks to Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. They combined for four points on the Oilers’ next two goals, and Zach Hyman buried the game-winner with just a few minutes remaining.

As the Golden Knights were pushing to tie the game, Connor Brown put some icing on the cake with a gorgeous solo effort to seal a 4-2 win and a 1-0 series lead.

Playoff hockey keeps rolling on Wednesday night as the Florida Panthers try to pull even with the Toronto Maple Leafs in Game 2, and the Winnipeg Jets host the Dallas Stars as that series between Central Division foes gets underway.

Před 40 lety zabil požár na stadionu v Bradfordu 56 lidí

Na osudný zápas tehdy přišlo přes 11.000 fanoušků, neboť domácí hráli poslední zápas v sezoně a už měli zajištěný postup do vyšší soutěže, kterou hráli naposledy v roce 1937. Byla sobota odpoledne krátce po půl čtvrté a do konce prvního poločasu zbývalo asi pět minut. Stav utkání byl 0:0, když najednou diváci v části stadionu začali pociťovat nebývalé teplo od nohou. Komentátor televizního přenosu John Helm hlásil malý požár na tribuně. Ten se ale během několika minut proměnil v peklo.Dřevěná konstrukce vzplála i kvůli větrnému počasí velmi rychle. Diváci v panice prchali, ale většina východů byla zavřená. Chyběli pořadatelé, kteří by je otevřeli. Kvůli obavám z vandalismu nebyl po ruce ani žádný hasicí přístroj. Pomáhat začali i někteří hráči a trenéři, lidé házeli děti před zeď, aby jim zachránili život. Hasiči přijeli za pár minut, ale to už z tribuny byla obrovské koule ohně a dýmu.

Hořký konec, ale nepodali jsme výkon, kterým bychom si postup zasloužili, přiznal Hyský

„Je to hořký konec, takhle jsme si to nepředstavovali, ale dneska jsme si nic jiného nezasloužili. Nebyl to výkon, na který jsme byli zvyklí ve většině zápasů. Postup jsme si nezasloužili,“ zlobil se trenér Karviné Martin Hyský.Bídné představení svého týmu, zvláště pak v úvodu střetnutí si nedokázal vysvětlit. „Možná to bylo o nastavení v hlavách. Beru to na sebe, protože jsme se v přípravě hodně zaměřili na to, že náš výkon v prvním utkání byl dobrý a chyběla jen efektivita. Dneska ale naše stoperská trojice odehrála velmi slabý zápas. Hráli jsme hodně do rizika, přihrávky šly do zavřených prostorů. Naopak prakticky každý balon za naši obranu byl nebezpečný,“ popisoval Hyský.Foto: Vladimír Pryček, ČTKTrenér Martin Hyský z Karviné„Sešlo se toho mnohem více.

Anthony Edwards rescues Minnesota with clutch second half to escape with Game 3 win over shorthanded Warriors

Getty Images The Minnesota Timberwolves looked sluggish in the first half of their Game 3 win against the Golden State Warriors Saturday night. Julius Randle had 13 points in the first two frames to keep the Wolves afloat, but but he didn't get much help from anyone else, which led to a two-point lead at the half for the Warriors, who were playing without offensive focal point Stephen Curry.Midway through the third quarter it was much of the same for the Wolves, who found themselves playing from behind still, but were within enough striking distance to turn this game on its head.That's where Anthony Edwards comes in.He had just eight points at halftime, and struggled through the first half of the third quarter, but then he scored eight straight points for Minnesota, the last of which put the Wolves back […]
