Panthers vs Oilers in Stanley Cup Final

The Oilers closed out their Western Conference finals series against the Dallas Stars on Sunday night with a 2-1 win at Rogers Place in Alberta. That gave them the 4-2 series win and secured a trip to the championship series for the first time since 2006.

The Oilers haven’t won the title since 1990, when they won their fifth in a seven-year span. If the Oilers can pull off another title, they’ll be the first Canadian team to win the championship since 1993.

New York Mets Continue Losing

Edwin Diaz, who has forgotten how to save games, and Kodai Senga, who keeps getting further away from a return, are signed through 2027. Is Diaz, who blew his fourth save in his last five tries ever going to be elite again after his devastating knee injury? How about Senga after his shoulder woes?

Brett Baty, the third baseman of the future, can’t beat out Mark Vientos in the present. Has anyone heard much good about the Mets’ farm system this year, particularly its best position players? 

The Mets have lost five straight and at 21-30 are a season-high nine games under .500 and have the majors’ worst record (9-22) since April  21.
