Almost everything has gone right for the New York Rangers in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, so far. They swept the Washington Capitals in the first round and just took a 2-0 lead over the Carolina Hurricanes in the second round of the NHL postseason. 
There is one slight problem, though, and his name is Jacob Trouba. Trouba is the Rangers captain and a very important piece to the team. He’s a talented player but also a key enforcer. 
The issue is that he can’t stay out of the penalty box.

The PGA Tour returns to Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, for the sixth Signature Event of the 2024 season.
Quail Hollow Club, the host of this week’s Wells Fargo Championship, is one of the more challenging courses the PGA Tour visits each year. It requires precision from tee to green.
Funny enough, this venue will host the PGA Championship again next year, eight years after Justin Thomas won his first major championship at Quail Hollow in 2017.

To say the 2024 season had a tumultuous start for Shohei Ohtani would be an understatement. While in South Korea to open the season, news broke about a sports betting scandal that eventually implicated his interpreter in the theft of millions of dollars to repay gambling debts.
But with that seemingly behind him, Ohtani’s been able to focus exclusively on baseball over the past month. And the results have been, well, almost unbelievable.
Already one of the best players in the sport entering the year, Ohtani’s taken his game to an entirely new level.

For the mayors of most North American cities, your team making a deep run in the Stanley Cup Playoffs is a great thing. You don’t want to jinx things on the ice but it’s hard not to think about parade routes and what kind of bet you’ll want to make with the mayor of the other city.
However, if you’re the Mayor of Vancouver, you might get a lump in your throat when the team appears capable of making a run.

You could tell by the look on his face that Nick Saban was overjoyed to get back in front of the local media in Birmingham on Wednesday to partake in the Regions Pro-Am golf tournament. 
Along with current Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer, Georgia’s Kirby Smart, Sen. Tommy Tuberville and plenty of others in the college football world, Nick Saban took his golf game from his beautiful course at Jupiter Hills, Fla., to Birmingham.

Scotsman Robert MacIntyre, who earned PGA Tour status this year, referred to the American based circuit as a “lonely place.”
Thanks to his superb play on the DP World Tour a season ago, which included a runner-up finish to Rory McIlroy at the Genesis Scottish Open, Robert MacIntyre earned PGA Tour membership for the 2024 season.
But playing on the PGA Tour has not been the best experience for MacIntyre, compared to the comfortable confines of the DP World Tour.

Estaban Prado won the Orange County Marathon in California over the weekend, but was stripped of his title thanks to his father and some water.
The 24-year-old finished the race in 2:24:54, which is an absurd pace of just over 5:30 per mile, but was later disqualified from the competition after it was discovered that he accepted water from his father who rode along the 26.2-mile course on a bike.
Runners can, of course, accept water during races, but race organizers deemed Prado “received unauthorized assistance.
