Right, time for a sports update I think. I'll start with the
NHL and the Stanley Cup. As I predicted, it was close. It went all the way to the last game in a fantastic series, but it was the
Carolina Hurricanes who lifted their first Stanley Cup in franchise history on Monday evening with a
3-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers.
Yesterday was the NHL Entry Draft. The St. Louis Blues had the first overall pick, and they took defenseman Erik Johnson. The
Caps had two picks in the first round and they took defenseman Nicklas Backstrom, and Russian goaltender Semen Varlamov. More details on the Caps' other picks at the Draft can be found
here.
My favourite MLS team,
D.C. United, are continuing to run away with the Eastern Conference. They drew
1-1 with Los Angeles two weeks ago,
1-1 with New England last week, beat Chicago
1-0 on Wednesday night, and beat Kansas City
1-0 last night. Seven of United's next eight games are away from home. In a word: Ouch!
