The Vegas Golden Knights are not the Montreal Canadiens or the Philadelphia Flyers or Ottawa Senators.
The Carolina Hurricanes faced their toughest opponent so far in the NHL playoffs on Tuesday, June 2, and lost Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final 5-4 in a back-and-forth game.
They blew a 2-0 lead, fell behind 3-2 and twice tied the score before falling on Tomas Hertl’s winning goal with 3:24 left in the third period.
The Hurricanes, whose forechecking frustrates opponents, found the same difficulties getting out of the zone because of the Golden Knights‘ forecheck.

Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill said the team’s IPL 2026 final defeat to Royal Challengers Bengaluru was difficult to take, admitting they came close to the title but could not finish the job.

In a message posted on Instagram, Gill reflected on the loss and thanked fans for their support throughout the season.
“We came so close but couldn’t get over the line.

I am weird, you are weird. Everyone in the world is weird. One day two people come together in mutual weirdness and fall in love. — Dr. Seuss

When two very bad baseball teams — say the Colorado Rockies and the Los Angeles Angels — play a series, the stage is set for weirdness.

Tomas Hertl scored 16:36 into the third period, his fourth goal of the postseason, and the Vegas Golden Knights overcame an early deficit to defeat the Carolina Hurricanes 5-4 in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final on Tuesday night at Lenovo Center.

PHOENIX (AP) — Shohei Ohtani had a double, triple and two RBIs to stay hot at the plate, Freddie Freeman smacked a two-run homer and the Los Angeles Dodgers held on late to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-5 on Tuesday night.
Ohtani — a four-time MVP — is 12 for 26 (.462) over his last six games, including two doubles, a triple and two homers.
Los Angeles has won 15 of its last 19 games.
The Dodgers jumped ahead 2-0 in the first when Freeman launched his ninth homer of the season into the right-field seats, scoring Ohtani, who led off the game with a double down the right-field line.

SEATTLE (AP) — Patrick Wisdom hit his first home run this season, Jhonny Pereda went deep for the second time in the major leagues and the Seattle Mariners beat the New York Mets 8-3 on Tuesday night for their season-high eighth straight victory.
The Mariners (33-29) improved to a season-best four games over .500 on the strength of another stellar offensive performance. Seattle smacked three home runs, increasing its total to 21 during a winning streak that is the team’s longest since rattling off eight consecutive victories in September last season.

The opening Cup Final matchup was not for the faint of heart. Here’s what it all means.
