A scary scene unfolded on the ice during the Pittsburgh Penguins game against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
With just under 14 minutes to play in the third period, the Penguins were attempting to clear the puck out of their defensive zone when officials blew the play dead because of an incident away from the play.

The Paris Olympics are just a few months away, so it’s time to crack open a bottle of champagne and christen some new Olympic facilities.
And the pool that will be used for the diving competition opened with a real bang, only that bang was the sound of one diver’s spine hitting the 3-meter springboard.
French diver Alexis Jandard was part of the pool-opening festivities in Paris, and he was one of three divers who appeared to be doing a synchronized dive from the springboard.

Wrestling fans expected Paul Heyman to go off last night during his WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony and boy did he ever deliver.

And it was anything but PG-friendly.
