June 15th update

It all comes down to this, Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals

- The two remaining teams in the NHL playoffs play for all the marbles as the final game of the season is tonight in Vancouver. Despite only scoring 8 goals in the 6 games so far, Vancouver has been buoyed at home by the fantastic play of Roberto Luongo.
- Luongo’s Mr Hyde side showed up on the road however, as he has been awful in Boston. Vancouver fans are hoping for Dr. Jekyll to show up and deliver them a cup.
- Boston is searching for their first Cup since 1972, while Vancouver is looking for their first Cup ever.
- The home team has won all 6 games in the series so far.


Golf’s US Open Starts Thursday in Maryland

- The second of golf's four majors (Along with the Masters, British Open and the PGA Championships) tees off at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda Maryland.
- Tiger Woods is not playing in this tournament due to injury, leaving this tournament without major star power.
- Since Woods' fall from grace in late 2009, there has been a lack of superstar talent to fill his shoes. Ten different players have won the past ten major tournaments and only 2 players in the current top 10 have even won any major at all. This seems to make this year's tournament wide open.
