I’m not going to lie, I thought both the NBA Finals and the NHL Stanley Cup Final had promise. On the basketball side, you had the top-seeded Boston Celtics, NBA royalty, going for their 18th title.

Remember the scene from the 2006 film, Rocky Balboa, when world champion Mason “The Line” Dixon is arguing with his promotor about fighting Rocky, and his promotor says (and I’m paraphrasing), “Don’t tell me you’re worried about your legacy.

Maple Leafs Fail To Beat the Bruins in the First Round, Yet Again

After climbing back and tying the series 3-3, the Maple Leafs lose game 7 in overtime, and lose the series to the Boston Bruins. After 4 games, they looked defeated.
