A huge Bruins playoff win that signaled the arrival of a new team and the dawn of a new era of Bruins hockey to come.
WRESTLING WORRIES EVERYONE
The WWE halted tapings this week when a developmental talent, not currently in the arena, tested positive for COVID-19. Not only does this present a problem for the sports entertainment company, who had been hesitant to
have audience members wear masks and institute mass testing, but also major sports in general. Granted the contact of pro wrestling is different from the NBA and NHL, though not so much the NFL, this could signal to other major contact sports that any and all talent are susceptible and raise red flags for future engagements. If any of these sports start on their target date, and continue as planned, and keep all parties healthy, it will be nothing short of a miracle.

June 16, 2020 GUNDY'S APOLOGY
The header sounds like some sort of theorem, no? Anyway...Oklahome State football coach Mike Gundy apologized Tuesday for the controversy surrounding his wearing an OAN t-shirt the other day, which prompted OSU star running RB Chuba Hubbard to call his coach out and say he would not participate in any team activities until things changed. It's fair to come after Gundy because, after all, he's a man. And he's forty...plus. Also he has a responsibility as a coach to keep the priorities of his players and team in mind when he makes decisions like wearing that shirt. Now, as for the apology...how sincere do you think it is, 1-10, 10 being from the heart, 1 being a prompter read to placate the masses.
"Once I learned how that network [OAN> felt about Black Lives Matter, I was disgusted and knew it was completely unacceptable to me."Mike Gundy apologized to Oklahoma State players and their families for wearing an OAN shirt. (via @CoachGundy)pic.twitter.com/TrwB19P1iQ

Check out the arenas the NBA players will be in when the season resumes in Orlando at the end of July. Also, courtesy of Shams, the teams had a hotel lottery as well. Looks like the Celtics at a potential No. 3 seed,
got the top tier digs.

June 16, 2020 BUCC THIS!
Pats fans obviously had a hard time seeing Brady in a Buccaneers jersey offically Tuesday. It's understandable. And perhaps this tweet sums up all our die-hahd fan feelings most perfectly.
It is like looking at your ex wife in her new wedding dress before she gets remarried. I OBJECT TO THIS UNION

June 16, 2020 BECAUSE WE NEED THIS
With all the headaches and hassle created by COVID-19, opening up everything, anything, these days is difficult. So a good lighthearted joke about the efforts made to keep people safe, especially when it involves a good pop-cultural reference, will always work here, Charles.

June 16, 2020 #WAYBACK WEDNESDAY
When you want to share a throwback piece of footage, and it's not Thursday, or Friday for a flashback, you create a hashtag guaranteed not to catch on. Anyway...here's the Brady antidote Pats fans need to the horror of Tuesday's Buccaneers jersey reveal. What a game! What a comeback! The final drive vintage Brady. And who doesn't love Rob Ryan sad face at the end of a game in Gillette, like here and again in 2013 vs. the Saints.
Patriots-Cowboys week 6, 2011: Tom Brady wasn't having the greatest day, Dallas was able to get a lot of pressure on him... But as he's done many times, he came through in the clutch! On the final drive, Brady went 8-9 for 78 yards & hit Aaron Hernandez for the game winning TD! pic.twitter.com/uWmalncOnA
