Monday sports night

There were many series both in the NHL and the NBA that were settled last night. Let's start with the NHL. The Blackhawks took it to the Flames 4-1  and took the series (4-2). It was a blowout all the way. Also the 8 seeded Ducks finally took out the 1 seeded Sharks 4-1 and embarrassed them in the first round (4-2). The Sharks were outplayed the whole series and being the 1 seed, they did not play up to expectations of all of their fans.

In the NBA, the Jazz finally bowed out to the Lakers 107-96. They were down by 22 at one point in the game and valiantly scratched back into it, but to no avail, could not come back the whole way. They lose the series (4-1) and now head to the off season to figure out how to win on the road. In other NBA games, the Nuggets took a commanding (3-1) lead by absolutely taking out the Hornets 121-63. And that is no misprint. The Hawks beat the Heat 81-71 to tie the series at 2 games a piece.

Finally in MLB news, the Yankees lose again for the fourth straight game 4-2 , but this time it was to the Detroit Tigers. They need help and they need it fast.

I will be back later,
