NHL Playoffs – Los Angeles Kings Thrive Late, Chicago Blackhawks Slightly Stunned
We’ve seen the Los Angeles Kings raise their game countless times with their backs to the wall in recent years, but their 6-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks and especially their performance in the third period, scoring five unanswered goals while Jeff Carter scores a hat-trick in 15 minutes, left quite a few jaws dropped, making it an even series at 1-1.

NBA Playoffs – San Antonio Spurs Look Deadly, Oklahoma City Thunder Look Scared
There’s something very familiar about the San Antonio Spurs taking a 2-0 lead over the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference Finals.

The Miami Heat have entered a game 2 of a playoff series down a game during the Big Three era, always managing to erase that early loss. This time, without home court advantage and some clear inferiority against the once again confident Indiana Pacers, there’s a greater feel of desperation to it all, although it’s impossible to predict which Roy Hibbert will show up, and when the next LeBron James explosion is due.

NHL Playoffs – New York Rangers Take Promising Lead, Montreal Canadiens Look Clueless
Home court advantage or taking an early lead isn’t helping the Montreal Canadiens in the Eastern conference finals as the New York Rangers beat them 3-1 to take a 2-0 lead despite playing away from home and going down early to a Max Pacioretty. Ryan McDonagh, Rick Nash and of course Martin St. Louis had no problem turning the tide, as the Bell Centre “curse” seems to be something in ancient history.

There seems to be a stark difference between the two sets of conference semifinals.
