Jason Kidd Interested in a Coaching Job?

A player who just retired may consider a coaching job. The Brooklyn Nets currently have a vacant head coaching position. Early this week, Jason will meet with the general manager of the Nets, Billy King to hope to be the next head coach. It will definitely be interesting to see an old player become, a young coach, and see how Brooklyn players, fans and staff react to this decision.

Hawks V.s. Bruins

In game 5 of the Hawks VS Kings the game went into overtime. Patrick Kane had a big game and scored a hat trick. His final goal was the OT winner to move on to the Stanley Cup Finals VS the Boston Bruins. The Boston Bruins are favored to win this series in under six games. The people who voted for the Bruins to win the series is because they swept the series in 4 games vs the Penguins who were favored to win the Championship. Anyways the Chicago Blackhawks and the Boston Bruins will face off in Game 1 on June 13th.

Surgery

Ryan Callahan went into surgery on Friday night. He underwent two surgeries in his shoulder and leg.

Both operations took place Friday, less than a week after New York was eliminated in the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs by Boston. Callahan had 16 goals and 15 assists with only 12 penalty minutes in 45 regular-season games. He added two goals and three assists in New York's 12 postseason contests.
Hagelin scored 10 goals and added 14 assists, and posted a plus-10 rating during the regular season, when he was one of four Rangers to play in all 48 games. New York was 14-2-1 when he earned a point and 8-1-1 when he scored a goal.

Game 4

The Chicago Blackhawks stayed strong in Game 4 against the Kings. The Hawks kept a 1-0 lead but by the end of the second period they were down 2-1. They came out strong and capitalized on a play of the Kings plan and scored two goals and took the game 3-2 and the series to a bigger lead of 3-1.

Make or Break

The Chicago Blackhawks have an advantage going into game 4 against the Los Angeles Kings. However, they also have a disadvantage. The advantage is that they are coming into the game with a lead 2 games to 1. The negative is that Duncan Keith, has been suspended one game for high sticking. This gives the Kings an advantage as well. Just like when Gregory Campbell of the Boston Bruins broke his right fibula, this could either make the Kings game or break the Blackhawks game. Going into the fourth game of the series, LA plans to take advantage of the penalty and win their share too. They look to tie the series, and hopefully win the 5th making it too close for comfort for Chicago.

Milwaukee WHAT HAPPENED

Milwaukee Brewers have been a decent team in this league since the Prince Fielder years. When we had Prince (without Braun) we had a decent team to help him win. Then Ryan Braun came into the mix in 2007. We had a 83-79 record in that year and didn't make it to the playoffs. Then the Brewers picked up a very good pitcher in C.C Sabathia in 2008. That did it for Milwaukee as they made the playoffs that year for the first time in 20 years. They ended up losing in the division series vs the Phillies. For the next 2 years they didn't make the playoffs. Then in 2011, they made the playoffs, they did it with Prince Fielder in the last year of his contract. They won the division series but ended up losing to the Cardinals in the NLCS. The Brewers lost Prince, and then did decently well last year but this year they are doing terrible. Their currently holding a 22-35 record and that would be the worst if it wasn't for Astros and Marlins. So what did happen to the Brewers this year? I think that the pitching is still our weak spot this year. Usually it is our bullpen, but the bullpen is doing just fine. It's the starting pitching. Everybody before the year started said that the SP were too young and they silenced those people by bringing in Kyle Lohse. Honestly his record might not show it but he has been the best pitcher so far this year. When he pitches he doesn't give up many runs, it is only because the offense hasn't been producing when he is pitching. The Brewers have the hitter and fielders they need to make a playoff run, but the thing is can the pitchers step it up, if they don't looks like the Brewers are not going to make the playoffs this year.

Broken Leg

Gregory Campbell, forward for the Boston Bruins broke his right fibula in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Fortunately, his team won, and defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins. Unfortunately, he is out for the rest of the Stanley Cup playoffs. This injury could either make the Penguins, or break the Bruins. One more game and the Bruins will take the whole series and advance to the Stanley Cup Finals. Campbell will be eager for game 4,but will be watching on the sidelines.
