The Dream of Limitless Leaps
Darkness enveloped me, swallowing all light. Only the faint sound of my own ragged breaths echoed in the endless space. I stood precariously on the edge of a towering wall, stretching far above my sight, perhaps a meter and seventy centimeters high. The shadows hid everything below, leaving me blind to the depth or danger that lurked beyond the black veil.

Finals Game Five: 18 and Golden
I have seen a number of playoff series in the NBA, NHL, and MLB where a team is up 3-0 with a chance to sweep. Sometimes, the sweep's completed, but there have been moments where the team down 3-0 wins Game Four. Now, when that happens, it's the same sentiment: "Well, at least they didn't get swept." You can always tell whether or not Game Four serves as that lone win in the series or not. A few times, said team does win Game Five. In rare moments, they actually make it to Game Seven. And as we all know, there have only been five overall moments between the leagues where a team actually won four straight to win the series after losing the first three games.

Stanley Cup Final Game Four: Change of Plans

The Florida Panthers were all set to complete the sweep and capture the Cup for the first time in their franchise history. They shut down the Oilers in the first two games, and Game Three was a hard fought battle won by the Panthers. All signs pointed to the Panthers taking Lord Stanley back to the Sunshine State.

Finals Game Four: Brooms Broken
A strange rarity hit the sports world entering Game Four of this year's NBA Finals: both the NBA and Stanley Cup Finals stood at 3-0. The last time we saw a sweep in the Stanley Cup Final was 1998. The last time we saw a sweep in the NBA Finals was 2018, much more recent than the NHL. The last time we saw sweeps in both in the same year, you have to go all the way back to 1995. That year, the Houston Rockets swept the Orlando Magic to repeat as NBA Champions, and the New Jersey Devils swept the Detroit Red Wings to win their very first Stanley Cup.
