Just as every Patriot fan was so mad about all the craziness about Tom Brady missing the first 4 games of the season, that the Patriots will be 0-4 to start out. And everyone else was ready to show the Patriots that they can lose. But, something that will change everything happened. Tom Brady was released from his 4 game suspension. That will make all Patriots fans happy. And that will make everyone else not so happy. But, next time the Patriots try cheating, something bad is going to happen, either being fined $1 Million dollars or taking away your star quarterback for a while.
The Washington Capitals had a 3-2 lead over the New York Rangers in the Stanley Cup Playoffs Semi-Finals. That would mean that the Capitals would have an advantage, right? That was not what happened. The Rangers took a 2-0 lead after the first period, including a goal with 0.3 seconds. Both goals were by Chris Krieder. Then, the Rangers get pushed over a little for room for a Capitals goal. In the third, 4-3, and Alexander Ovechkin had a great shot that looked like it had a clear goal but Henrik Lundquvist didn't allow it as he made a great save. That would be it and the Rangers will challenge the Capitals on Wednesday in Game 7.
