WHAT’S GOING ON?

If you look at the standings these days, you can’t help but ask the question: What’s going on?

It seems like everything is out of place, upside down and completely out of whack. The Phillies are down, the Angels are down, the Red Sox and Yankees are nowhere to be found, while the Dodgers are running away with it, and there are surprises, surprises, in the Orioles and Braves! I know it is still early, but by Memorial Day things will start to shake out, and if they stand like they do today, are we looking at some new dynasties?

MARK OF A CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM

Is the way they can come back from a demoralizing loss and win the next time out. The New York Rangers are just such a team. They are good and should be the next Stanley Cup champions. Of course you never know, but they should have the power, and strength to do it.

LUNDQVIST

But leave it to the Broadway Cardiac Boys to wait until the third period to ice the game, with goals by: Girardi, Kreider and Callahan, and an outstanding effort once again by goalie Lundqvist, to turn another shutout, this one 3-0.

Not that the Devils didn’t show, they did, just not enough as Lundqvist turned away 36 shots on goal.

Game 4 is tonight in New Jersey.

ON THE BRINK OF DISASTER!

WESTBROOK

Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant have created some last quarter thunder, and the results are that Kobe Bryant and his Lakers ore on the precipice of disaster! Negating a Laker surge in the first quarter of 29 points, the Thunder came booming back with 32 of their own in the fourth quarter to come from behind and put themselves in position to eliminate the Lakers.

I’m sure there are a lot of fans who would love to see Kobe go home along with his Lakers. Westbrook scored 10 of his 37 points during that fourth-quarter surge, while Durant tallied 31 points and hit a tiebreaking 3-pointer with 13.7 seconds left, as the Thunder seized control of their second-round series with a 103-100 victory!

The Oklahoma Thunder is 7-1 in playoff games.

That’s all I wrote, Folks!
